When's the pool opening up EG?

our mower has a flat tire. mr snick took the compressor out the shed to fill the tire to keep it from sitting on the rim, but we are going to have some work to do before it is ready for the spring

That reminds me, I need to have my weed trimmer repaired. I can't find the parts for it online though, so I'm wondering if the assembly has been superseded. It's a pretty poor starter design, and once a plastic retainer wears out, the coil spring lets go and it jams the entire assembly.

Scratch that! Found the entire assembly on Amazon for $15, $20 shipped. Just ordered it.

I picked up the water tests this past week, and started looking at a replacement saltwater system since ours went kaput last year (I still say it was lighting cause it took out everything on that side of the house). I'm hopeing to have everything up and running for the first weekend in April as far as the chemicals are concerned, but we will need some consistent warm weather to get the temp up.

You have a salt water pool? Those are awesome!

Yeah...the initial cost was a little more, but there isn't much work involved the rest of the year

I guess that explains why the hotel I always stay at has a saltwater pool.

yeah, there is very little chemical cost after getting it up and running... once every two weeks there is one or two things things to add... but you don't have to buy chlorine and all that

[NJmike PE]

[snickerd3]

something like that...huge headlines were saying HUGE earthquake....4.7 isn't huge. Horrible all the same, but not huge

 

[kevo_55]

It was the biggest one since Northridge.

4.7's nothing. Thanks for asking though.

I was waiting to hear from you on this. Glad to hear that all is ok. On the other hand, I am now left feeling disappointed that regarding your view of 4.7...
