Okay awesome. Thank you all for your advice. Once we get to the kitchen I’ll heed this advice.

Fantastic. Greatly appreciate the info. Mine will be in the shade as well. I think I’ll copy your method. Got a bit of time.

zero issue with it maintaining temp in summer? I believe Virginia can get near 100 in summer?

I honestly wondered if that was the case. Thank you.

budget is really impossible to say...flexible. Fridge will be a part of an outdoor kitchen that will have some shade from a cedar arbor. The fact I’m looking for something marine grade should elevate the price and I’m okay with that if it will last.if a kegerator is silly outdoors I’m okay doing...

I’m curious what you guys/gals think about outdoor fridges and kegerators. I’m located in a hyper saline body of water and recognize the associated risks of rust...should I just do an icebox and call it good? Do fridges exist that can tolerate such a harsh environment? The only reason I...

As the closing date grows closer it becomes more and more real for us. This honestly is something I never thought I’d be able to do. With the wife’s near death experience a few years ago we decided never a better time than now to live your dream.

You won’t believe it. But that is the lower Laguna Madre in very very south Texas.

Thank y’all. We’’re extremely excited. Hopefully this is the last time I have to move, it’s amazing how much junk two people can hoard.

Getting ready to sell the house my pool is “attached” to...:( On the bright side the bottom 1/2 is what we are changing to....(takes no chemicals) Both pics taken from the back door of respective houses.

I went fishing! We’re getting a new roof...I don’t usually store my nails in the pool.

We got our first swim of the year in last night. 85 degree water, good times!

This wasn't today...but it wasn't all that long ago. I finally switched my white spa light out to a 5G. And dropped the coin on the fancy pentair light switch for my lights.

Up to 78 via nature. Storms headed this way. Maybe I can swim next weekend. I'm a sissy and require 80+ degrees after experiencing it last year.

Ha. Well I for one am happy your magic ball told me my future a few years back. It really pushed me over the edge into buying my robot. Best purchase ever!

So true, everything is better in a nice 80+ degree pool. Soon I shall be there. At a measly 73 right now....gonna have to fix that once the real heat hits and I don't have to pay to maintain quite as badly.

Everything is better in Texas.

Swapped out my white light in the spa to a Pentair 5G intellibrite. Wired it and my pool one up to one of the pentair controllers ($200 light switch). I'm happy with the results. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Play it by ear. You can't trust weathermen. They are the only profession that I know of who can be wrong 80% of the time and stay employed. Also, kids don't care if the water is coolish....adults are the wussies (at least I am. My pool is 88 :p) I too am okay with this unusually wet and...

I was pleased to see my pH was only 7.7 It climbs like a mountain goat, so I've been altering my returns to make the spa spillover less....which seems to be helping.

88 degrees :D Lets see what I can do to the gas bill :p

I love seeing someone take a project like that on. can't wait to see your results!

on #1, That's going to be purely subjective. I would try to get a PB that would do it all. for one simple reason, It's one less person you have to yell at. :D If you don't mind dealing with several contractors, then you may be able to get a better deal by separating the two. It all depends...

Add me to the list of Robot owners who would be willing to give my take on my robot. I'm right at a year of ownership currently... So I'm disqualified for this one, but would love to see the results of your survey.

looks great! congrats on keeping it looking great!

Thanks for making me spit water all over my computer. :p

google...back when I was researching pools...then made an acct when we decided to take the plunge....Getting on this forum was the best decision I've made in recent history.

Looks good Woody

I thought this was going to be a thread about bringing your pool to the local Starbucks. I was curious to see how that turned out. :p

Guys after my own heart. I grill out every sat. Sometimes I smoke, sometimes I just grill. But rain, snow, shine...I'm out there. It's the only way I know how to cook. :D
