Re: Home and garden projects

We use chlorine tabs in an inline doser in our pool and there's no smell or irritant as far as we've noticed. Very simple to use too. Getting to that time when it will soon be warm enough to get back...

Re: Home and garden projects

The house is old and only has a 125A service and everytime you turn something on the lights dim! So we'll go up to a 200A service that should sort that out. We also don't have any room in the panel...

Re: Home and garden projects

Well the digging started last Thursday morning and the pool was in, leveled and plumbed by lunchtime Friday. Our city requires an inspection of the pipework and that happens tomorrow. Once that's...

Re: Home and garden projects

In ground with Pentair pump, chlorinator and cartridge filter. Can't wait! Going to try and do a time lapse of it all.

Wow, that's deep! Ours will only be 6 foot. I think deeper is more usual for...

Re: Home and garden projects

I have just found this on a number of doors in the house we've just bought. Bottom rail is completely missing with the cavity open. Will need to remove the door and fit a new piece of timber as you...

Re: Home and garden projects

Went to get one last week and was told (admittedly at Home Depot) that they don't stock them any more. It was a new fangled diamond sharpening block (works a treat mind you).

Re: Home and garden projects

Just bought a house here and the rear yard (about 1/4 acre) is a blank canvas of grass apart from two mature pecan trees - no idea where to start yet but it's going to be fun!

Re: Home and garden projects

I bought a unit called an Airtap that was designed as a retrofit for water tanks: -

Re: Home and garden projects

Re: Home and garden projects

With the pending move to San Antonio it was interesting to see that the town actually pays you to get rid of grass and sprinkler systems. A house we're looking at has quite a large rear lawn that I...

Re: Home and garden projects

Just started replacing all my old X-10 stuff with new Z-wave (via Wink). Doing the inside things first and will move to the external bits (irrigation, security lighting etc.) when it warms up.
