    What did you do to your pool today?

    Well, I’ve never waited this long, but I am finally opening this week since finding a good supply of bleach in bulk and jug forms from a new builder supplier in town. I was planning on dichlor powder and water changes later on, but looks like we escaped that hassle.

    What did you do to your pool today?

    Going back with a cover this year and getting that all ready. Haven't done it the last two, but I'm not hauling out leaves again this year. What a pain! :hammer:

    What did you do to your pool today?

    I had such a different image of Matt, and now it's shattered. DV, I can afford the 1K in Bacon, but I'm not sure I could coook that much in a weekend. Don't worry Woody, I got it Friday, and Saturday night. It's just getting normal now. Pool makes it to 85, and right back down to 79-80 by...

    What did you do to your pool today?

    Hearing you say 6-8k is discouraging Matt, and all the more reason I'm bringing Danny out here to do my Solar. I can buy a lot of Bacon, Beer, and Blue Chair for less than 6 Grand.

    What did you do to your pool today?

    Man, I would love 7 days straight of 105. I like 85-88, but when it's hot, and the pool is 90+ it isn't so refreshing, I agree.

    What did you do to your pool today?

    I like the porch Bling DV. Not much here this week, picked up a few degrees in the pool, and losing it with cool NE wind this morning. What the heck is going on? It ain't global warming around here, that's for sure. :scratch:

    My pre party screw up!

    Opposite here, I run a combo set, or pleats. Dust load demands it. Unless you like that dusty haze in the water. Wait, Dusty Haze- that sounds like the name of a 70s rock band who would wear corduroys...

    Giving you a bump, and I'm sure others who've bought these can weigh in. Good luck on your upgrade.

    Well, not too bad then. You can be swimming pretty quickly then and hopefully have all of August too.

    Coral Snake is the exception save some rear fanged species like the Dusty Hog Nose, which aren't considered a threat unless you're a mouse, or a Lizard. :-)

    Did you get exactly you wanted with your pool?

    Welcome to TFP! All I can suggest, is design the spa now with that upgrade in mind for the future. My opinion is that it will be a major hassle later on, and not anything but more expensive than doing it now. Beautiful concept and design, and I really like it, but to me it isnt worth a 10-20k...

    I wanted the Mermaid Mosaic in our pool. My wife didn't like the one I chose, and couldn't understand why. It was very realistic. :scratch:

    Inyo shipping issues

    Box looks bad, but I bet the pump is fine. I had an oven heating element arrive like that not too long ago. Yep, it was bent and broken. It's a shipper issue no doubt though, especially on something so heavy, like Matt says.
