What's the data plate say on your motor? It should have a spot for RPM on it. I ask as that seems high but maybe you have a large pool which requires a lot of turnover.
Here is the plate. Pool isn't that big....the paperwork shows around 15,000 gallons -
I have variable speed pump. When would I ride it mid or low vs high?
My pool builder set mine to run from 8am - 10pm at 2850rpm. Seems high but they claim it's what works best. I have been asking them how I can setup two different schedules with a lower rpm and they say that's not recommended? I'm using the pentair ScreenLogic app which you can setup multiple schedules but you cannot tie the pump rpm to the schedule. -
Do it yourself. Super easy and cheap.
I don't have time to deal with this. Seems like they strip or grind the concrete and use the good stuff versus buying epoxy kits from the box stores! -
Seems like pricing is sorta in-line.
I’ve narrowed it down to these two colors. -
Has anyone had this done recently? The estimate about blew my socks off. They are charging $6.50 per sq foot. Does this sound about right? Garage is about 1200 sq ft.

Are steel (iron) doors an option? They can be made to any size.

I stumbled upon these two bottles this afternoon. I never see Eagle Rare around here.

Can I has his digits, please? Lol
So I want to put together a vertical tasting with some friends this fall. Everyone will put in a set amount of money then the wine gets sourced. I’d like the budget to be up to $1k for the tasting but I may get pushback on that. The tasting will be for 5-6 people.
I’m looking for suggestions. It’s definitely a red wine tasting. My tastes run to the classic Italian wines but I’m starting to learn (and greatly enjoying) French wines. While I like California wines they aren’t my favorite but I am also not a fan of fruit bombs though I understand that phase may thankfully be petering out.
Thanks for any and all suggestions.
Depending on what sort of vertical you are wanting you might want to up your budget. -
Man, that's pretty special. I hope your guests appreciated those.
Noticed the corks look a little worse for wear; wines holding up ok?
This was a tasting put together by a small group. We sourced the wines from a collector willing to part with them for far less than market value. -
They are known to overfill their bottles so these corks are pretty normal. The Leroy wines were great but there were some crazy great wines opened that night! I'm sure I'm leaving some out...

If you have a Tri-Supply nearby go check with them. Look into a fiberglass door and you can use gel stain. Also would recommend looking into Endura frame savers.

Had a few friends in town from across the pond. Opened a few bottles from Oregon on a Thursday evening.
This weekend is going to be epic.....Leroy tasting on Saturday night!-

This heat is killing my chemicals. First month I didn’t have to touch my autochlorinator and used the same amount of shock and acid. I’ve increased chlorine 3 times in the last two weeks, doubled my acid and almost doubled my shock. Oh and my water is 91 degrees. Fuck this
I'm still trying to figure out how to take care of my pool...my pool company has been less than helpful! Need to figure out how my chiller works as my pool is 91 degrees!
A pool beer solves all the problems! -
They poured the decking without the collar in place.-

So my pool builder is coming for pool school in a few days. It has taken them three weeks! I have some finish concerns mainly related to plaster overspray on the glass tile. Is this to be expected or should I have them scrub it clean? They also conveniently forgot to install the lid for the auto fill when they poured the pool deck. Do they make a lid that will retrofit into concrete?

It's a hell of a setup. Doing anything else seems like it would be a hassle compared to just hanging out there.
We built the house to entertain. So far it has far exceeded our expectations! It feels like you are at a high end resort and never have to leave!-

Serious question... you ever leave the house? If so, why?
I was just talking about this the other day. We moved in three weeks ago and have only gone out to dinner once. Backyard and pool get the evening shade. After work we tend to have a drink or three in the pool and basically eat leftovers from the weekend! -
@milkman that’s a great looking set up, where are you? Curious on the frame for the kitchen, what did they build it out of? Do they cover the framing out of something similar to hardie backer?
I'm in Central Texas. The kitchen is all stone. There is no wood framing.-

I ended up going with a Blaze grill from BBQguys. Bought all of the door/drawer accessories from them as well. So far so good as we just moved in two weeks ago. They were helpful in laying out a design for the outdoor kitchen. I highly recommend.

Rose all weekend long! -
I like the rock paver look but my ocd would drive me crazy keeping those rocks in place
Only been in the house for a few days and it's the first thing I notice when I walk outside. Hopefully my OCD will settle down on of these days.
