  1. Time for a thread title update!
  2. As someone who is only watching this because a championship is on the line that kind of shit just makes me want to change the channel. What a joke.
  3. We are recouping some and coming out of pocket some. We shouldn’t have to but life is not fair. We have young kids and no neighborhood pool so it made the decision to rebuild easier.
  4. We are doing the same design but chasing some colors a bit. This was one of the professional photos our builder did. Luckily he has been a stand up guy during this process.
  5. Yep. What a fucking nightmare.
  6. Well thats not surprising innit.
  7. Looking at taking the family for a short trip in June. Wife and 3 daughters between 14-8. We are thinking of traveling in on a Thursday morning and spending Thursday afternoon and Friday at the park with an AIRBNB in Terilingua. Saturday morning heading over to Alpine and Ft. Davis (lodging suggestions?) with the Star Party that evening. Heading home Sunday after lunch. Only have a short window so nothing too long. Thoughts? What parts of the park should we see during our window? Having younger girls we are thinking easier hikes. Appreciate any feedback y'all can give. Wife wants to see Santa Elena Canyon for sure. Also, any experience carrying a handgun in the park? I’m planning to take a pistol given the remote nature of parts of the trip but not sure about inside the park.
  8. We are at the tail end of negotiations with insurance companies. We will not be made whole but it should be enough to make rebuild feasible, which is sadly better than a lot of folks. Gunite is less susceptible as I understand it but it can happen. It all has to do with the mix including size and type of aggregate material etc… our rebuild will be gunite from a company that works with an engineering firm to test their mix design for ASR reactivity. My pool builder setup a call with the company owner so I could ask questions to get comfortable that this would not happen again. It was a really good call.
