mine crapped out about a month ago and i replaced it with this. well worth the price. it's fucking powerful and super quiet. so quiet that i had to confirm i had installed it right.
it's a pain in the ass to install because it's awkward being below the sink, but difficulty wise it's pretty simple
all i used were the locks that screw on to the rails, ensuring the window cannot open more than 4 inches.
check with your construction supervisor to make sure. inspection codes change all the time
in austin you need window locks on any behind the fence line. i installed the cheap stick on door alarm, and once inspection passed i took it off
FYI, the stores will not allow you to return the alarms - they know the game
that is fucking NUTS. You did not get anything outrageous, just standard cedar posts with metal posts.
i was quoted $3600 for about 148 linear feet last fall (~25 sq ft). No idea what they're running now but i can't imagine them going up $40/ft because of covid
we had 3 stools built into our pool and we use them often. I'm waiting for an electrician to come out and wire the outdoor patio area so i can install a TV where the stools are
Yup, i cook hot and fast. my egg thermometer read 275 which is probably 300 at the grate level. i did 2:1 pepper to salt, but then i went back and hit it with more straight pepper.
use a metal pan with water above the stone, below the brisket. i mix apple cider vinegar and worcestershire (enough squirts to make it turn brown) and spritz every hour until i wrap.
i left it wrapped in butcher paper on the counter for 1.5 hours, no cooler. it was still plenty fucking hot after 90 minutes
from the wife
"chop potatoes, then boil potatoes (soft but not mushy other wise you get mashed potatoes)
boil eggs and chop
mustard
Mayo
diced onions
diced pickles
diced pimento
Dill weed
Salt to taste
dash of pepper
Sorry I don't measure anything just throw it all together and add things to taste"
waiting for my wife to send me the recipe. it's pretty simple though from when i've seen her make it. potatoes, hard boiled eggs, mustard and mayo (not sure the ratio), diced pickles, dill
Brisket prices are down again. Found this 9.5# prime brisket at Costco for $2.69/lb. 2:1 pepper to salt ratio, smoked on my BGE for about 6.5 hours at 275*. Wrapped in butcher paper and rested for 1.5 hours. Homemade Mac and cheese and potato salad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
if you get a spa, they will have the heater be able to heat up the spa and the pool, won't be anything extra.
it's nice to have - used it a few weekend this april when the water was in the mid 70s
This is what we ended up doing. We ended up at 44.96%. We couldn’t even put down a concrete pad for the propane tank needed for the spa. I need to put down that glue to bind the black gravel. It fucking sucks stepping on one of those things coming in and out of the pool Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
i'm a graduate of Wm B Travis. They removed the confederate flag a long time ago, and i believe they did away with the Rebel logo. They still maintain the "Rebels" name and the school song, but that needs to change.
i got into a huge online argument with some Latino alumni who were arguing that they should be able to keep Rebels and all that stuff. Imagine that, Latinos arguing for keeping confederate symbols. Fucking idiots.
my house is much sloped than that and we built an inground pool no problem. the back portion of the pool is about 4 feet off the ground.
i did have them put in footers all along the back of the pool because my yard is so sloped
I’m having issues with fairly new zoysia sod I laid down about 6 weeks ago. Some spots have turned completely yellow while the rest is doing really well. I watered the shit out of it for the first few weeks while it took and it was all super green but now it looks like this. Initially I thought it could be my sprinklers weren’t reaching but I had the heads changed to 15 footers. I’ve been watering the spot manually but it’s not getting much better. Could it be fungus?

went with pebble tec. yeah it's not smooth like the older plaster, but it looks much better and will last a lot longer.
it is rough on the swimsuits when you're sitting on the steps / beer ledge though. My wife has had to throw away a couple of bottoms because of it.
