I’ve seen that unicorn. Very watchful. Caring.

Best to your wife. Take good care of her.

Lol

Figured I would update my plaster repair after it's first winter being exposed due to water being lowered and pool covered. It was repaired at beginning of last season and under water all summer. It matched perfect cause my plaster isn't really old yet. I consider it new plaster. I was all...

Very very cool. The pool is for my wife and kids. The boat is for me and the kids. Luckily my wife doesn’t want to swim till it’s warm out so I escape the gas bill and still get to fish. Lol

So u keep it heated non stop then till it warms up? You don’t let it climb then drop and climb again right? I swore I read that causes corrosion in a heater when the water is very cold like that and you swing the temps so much. I wish I can heat mine and the kids can use it. My water is 42...

Nice! I did the same yesterday. Did u do a complete refill?

That’s typical in our area and just beat practice. My cousin tells all his customers the same but if they don’t do it he says ur problem if anything happens. But even 3 weeks doesn’t help in some cases where there is a lot of humidity. The ac brings down that humidity but only so much.

Nice build! Just saw the built thread! following.

I’m such a worrier. I really try not to be but my mind is just so wired to prepare for the worse. Lol I wish it would warm up. Snowing as I look out the window. Yes snowing.

Thanks Kim! I’ll try to be more active this summer! Last summer we had a lot going on family wise and into winter. All is well now! I miss being here. Not as many projects. Just maintainance at this point. I got to get a tv outside finally. Next month. Lol

I hear yah. We are at the mercy of winter. There is only so much we can do. I almost want to talk to my builder about putting new valves on every few years but then you might just make issues for urself. Ur pool is about same age as mine. We built around same time right? 2016-17 ish?

Ahhhhh! Wait so what do you have to do them? So it failed up at the pad so water was able to flow up through the floor drain? So assume that below frost line is all good causexthe water wouldn’t freeze? But in that 4 or so upper feet is where you could have an issue? I’m sorry! I’m always...

Hey dirk. Good to hear from you! Lol. This boat went from a little Jon boat to a blown out bass boat. Yes it’s not some crazy fiberglass rig but I got every piece of electronic toys the big boys all have. I think the fine print is when I retire if we end up down the beach I’m allowed an ocean...

ok people. . . im still here but life is nutty. I just work and work and work and work. . . . few little things pool and life related. . . winter sucked. as those who know me I am a winter pool watcher. I keep my water low to stay of the tile. I vac out my skimmers so they don't freeze up...

I was just going to post exact same thing. Granite would have been beyond easy care. Deal it up and good to go. I’m in nepa and our winters suck. My granite is perfect. Miricle sealer for the grout and tile if u want. Blue bottle. Last for a long time if done properly. Lowes used to sell it...

My guys had no outdoor potty. My parents house was the bathroom a few blocks away until basement floor was poured. The minute we could walk on it my dads buddy had toilet up and going. Lol we already had water cause of him. Water company likes him I guess. Lol temp lines run. Pooper good to go...

Right right. Lol. I love those type. People always ask what I’m up to cause I’ve been under construction for 25 years. Lol. Something every year. People are just nosey. I literally make up stuff. I tell everyone something different. None of thier business. Whatever they can see fine. What they...

So do they give u the formula when u do custom mixes cause I would be afraid if I had to do a repair down the road and needed to match the patch. We just had to repair a 1 square foot area under my skimmer. I’m very very glad I did a white base with quartz non custom color cause it made patching...

Welcome to TFP. . . I got nothing for you but. . . pics if this happens! Like lots of pics. . .

I know SMG was having a ton of production issues for material also last year and into this season but I guess it's improving. My builder had a rough year even getting equipment last year. Another builder I know couldn't get fiberglass shells. Hopefully this season is better.

thanks man!

yah i was reading it. it was helpful. thanks.

I'm not talking material. I'm not talking how all plumbing and electrical will be done. I know all that. old hash. all I'm concerned with is how the physical shell is installed. what best practice is. I never saw one go in. I know how builders are. my builder and all that did my job were...

Thanks good info. I appreciate that.

Awesome. Not sure about fill water yet. I’ll figure that out when they are putting the pool in. I remember my salt level was 800 before I added my salt using the approved salt kit here.

hey guys. builder built pool. i know he should follow guidelines but i want to know what to look for so i can watch him. you know what i mean. so for balancing. just use the typical sheets for non plaster salt pool and balance according to that? can salt go right in from the fill? or is...

Hey all! Long time, not first time. . . lol Not for me this time. I am done! like totally done! anyway. . . I have a friend who finally got their glass shell. it's going in when we thaw out up here. so what i'm looking is: 1. best practice for installing the glass shell. i now all the...

It’s crazy in my area. All my buddy’s and my dad’s friends are presently in the trades. A lot of them are saying they r pretty much telling people we will bill you for material when it arrives and their time is hourly. They aren’t even giving estimates cause the days end up being so wonky they...

Are they using the zip system does in florida. my buddies have been using it up and they said if its installed properly you are literally water tight before underlayment and shingles.
