Thanks Pap! It’s been a labor of love and so much to learn. I’m wondering if I should try to figure the pump/waterfall/lights out for myself or be patient.
Al across the street isn't the handiest guy around. So he goes to fix something with his pool apparatus and screws it up. Then he calls me to bail him out. Go there and he has duct tape, rope, and wires holding everything together. The perimeter fence is busted up and laying everywhere. He can't remember what wire he connected where. Parts don't fit cuz he ordered the wrong stuff. Crap laying all over the place. 95 degrees with 95% humidity. And he wants me to fix it. All while he's cussin' and throwing stuff in anger. Joy, joy!
It looks better in the sun. My last pics, I promise! Well maybe one more when the waterfalls are on. But I’m so pleased with myself, my choices, I’m just in love with it.
You’re a very good friend for him to have!Al across the street isn't the handiest guy around. So he goes to fix something with his pool apparatus and screws it up. Then he calls me to bail him out.

Omg I wish you were my neighbor!!hmm.. okay, looks like you have controls for the pool, "jacuzzi", and waterfall... twin pumps (pool and jacuzzi/waterfall)... also see you went with a pleated fiber filter... ( I would have gone with the sand canister instead)
altho I could be wrong, but is there a remote involved somewhere?? and its heated too... good choice on the chlorinator canister... those make things alot easier in the long run ( be very careful when opening it when it time to add more tablets, the gas can be ummm harsh)
when the installer comes to teach you the operation of the valve system... video it and get some blue, red, yellow, and black electrical tape... blue for clean water to pool, jacuzzi, waterfall, red is hot water out to P,J,WF, yellow is chlorinated to P,J,WF, black is unfiltered water from main system... also some arrows pointing direction of flow would be very helpful... and if you have the time, get a flow schematic ( laminated) and tape it to the inside of the power panel door, would be very nice.... that way IF you ever need work done, the pool tech will take alot less time in figuring out the plumbing.
i dunno
Canadian shore lunch coffee. Dip a coffee can in the lake. Pour grounds in can. Boil over a campfire. Let grounds settle. Dip an empty pork n bean can in coffee. Presto!
good idea. Had that table since 1991. I have a 25 year old truck. I have lots of old stuff I just keep rehabilitating. My problem is I make friends with inanimate objects.you bet.... should have left the table outside and let the hurricane take it away and claim the loss on insurance and get a new one
Looks like that tree is dying,Bronze...............The thing is, there is real misery to find close by. Homes that are flooded and everything ruined. The guy should try going in one of those homes when their owners return to find all is lost. He wont have to act like there is drama then. But they have to manufacture it because they're wusses.
Meanwhile, we haven't had much rain. Less than 3" to this point. And it basically all came down in two or three 15 minute downpours when the wind got amped up. I admit, it's scary to see those trees rocking in every direction and noises you never heard before. I don't care if they snap or get ripped out of the ground (it's happened before) but I don't want any of them falling on the house. I have an oak about 18' in front of the house. It's one of those split ones with two trees coming out of one trunk. It's the tallest oak on my property. It got struck by lightning about 12 years ago and the side of the trunk got blown out (along with a bunch of other stuff on and in my house). It lived somehow but I'm never sure just how solid that thing is anymore.

Had another tree on the side of the house that got hit by a lightning bolt too. I'm being picked on.
