  1. For select teams, how does your team handle the money? I think our team is about to fall apart because we have idiots that don’t know when they have a good thing going.
  2. Turo comes with mileage restrictions? Thought about this.
  3. It’s not the distance, it’s the lack of 4wd. We’ll be taking her car - 2019 suburban. I usually get her a new car and take her car, sell mine. I’ll just buy chains and see how things play out.
  4. I don’t need a new car but wife thinks I should pull the trigger. Have a ‘15 suburban with 110k miles. We’re about to drive to New Mexico and she thinks I should go get a new with 4wd. Just seems like bottom is about to drop out of car market and waiting is the wise choice. Am I wrong? Should I just go do it?
  5. Trying to plan a last minute trip next weekend. Driving from Houston. As of now, because we’re familiar with it, leaning Angel Fire. Wife is trying to get us to go presidents weekend but seems like things get busy. Anywhere else I should consider? 3 kids 9,9,10 that have skied once.
  6. Glad you brought this up. This is my first winter with a pool. I’m assuming my generator will take care of everything if power goes out. Guess the pumps need to run constantly?
  7. So we did a gas oven/stove with vent hood. Then built a large pantry and put double electric oven in there. Wife loves it.
  8. Crazy, I have something similar I was just coming here to post. Just out a pool in and got everything graded out. Not as steep as it used to be, but now I have slow moving water that doesn’t seem to dry out. I have some drains, could I just turn one of the drain pipes into a French drain?
  9. Have a ~4 year old TCL that refuses to find WiFi networks. I have reset it multiple times and tried everything I can find online. Have an old fire stick connected for now, but don’t like that set up long term. Need a cheap smart tv. It’s in the kids playroom and runs Disney+, Netflix, Prime and sometimes I go in there for football games. Anyone have a Fire TV? 50” for 250. Hisense for 230? Any other options out there?
  10. I bought C9s from Christmaslights.com a handful of years ago. I was strongly against going LED because they always seem so dim. These turned out great. Bought a 500 ft blank roll and cut my own lengths. Definitely the way to go.
  11. Do y’all have experience with PVC? I have none. Is it similar to working with wood?
  12. I have 4x4 posts on my patio that I need to wrap and make roughly 8x8. Any thoughts on the wood I should use? They will be painted and exposed to direct weather on at least 1 side. Looking to control costs, but it’s a main feature of my house so if I have to make amends I can.

    Tennis Thread

    I’ve played tennis my whole life until we left Austin 7 years ago. I haven’t been able to find anyone to play with (haven’t tried all that hard) but I’m thinking about getting back into it. I used to play the singles ladder in Austin a while back (not sure if it’s still running). I really prefer doubles. Just hard to find a good partner. Maybe I’ll use this thread to get me going again. Until then, I mop the floor playing pickleball at the rec center on Wednesdays.
  14. What do y’all do with the pool toys/floats?
  15. Not using pool service. The filter on the pipes (by all the pumps) has a bunch of junk in it. Can I clean that out? Pool builder told me a pool service would clean it a couple times a year.
  16. BIL got it installed about a month ago. Pretty cool. Completely transformed his house.
  17. I have a tower that holds about 10 tabs. What is the alternative? **I’m ~1 month in on a new pool so still learning
  18. Chlorine tabs? What’s wrong with them? My pool builder said to avoid big box store chlorine.
  19. We used a silver travertine and builder said not to seal. Landscapers came in and got red clay all over it - looked stained. Little scrub with a baking soda water mix got it all out.
  20. I have variable speed pump. When would I ride it mid or low vs high?
  21. Thanks for all the info. I did a picture test - pic of one, pic of the other - which one you like best? 4/5 she picked the eagleston holly. We’re going with that.
