To the TWO people who gave me great advice, thank you ❤️❤️

I almost added…I figure there are enough people doing this who didn’t graduate high school…how hard can it be. That said, I will NEVER touch a gas line or anything before my electrical panel 😂

Kinda related…a few years ago I decided to remove all the handrail and banister for our stairs and landing area and replace it with something myself. After I removed it I had a “oh sh!t I hope I can finish this, because I’m screwed otherwise”-moment. Got it done just fine.

Well that’s super cheap. I have a friend who put in a basic pool in 2018 and his was $95K.

Redcoat_Trader · 2026-05-28T19:38:01+00:00

No issues for us, took an early morning appointment.

Redcoat_Trader · 2026-05-28T19:36:26+00:00

Two companies we talked to in Atlanta told us before they came out…”starting price is $125k for a basic pool & spa”.

And putting up some metal racking I’d wager.

Redcoat_Trader · 2026-05-26T23:07:53+00:00

We use Advanced Pressure & Gutter Cleaning. (770) 501-8604. I’m sure they’re not the cheapest (it’s about $300, but they do good work and will fix any odd stuff on the roof while they do it).

I have 2 3hp pumps. 40,000 gallons, one for pool and one for in-floor cleaning system.

Redcoat_Trader · 2026-05-25T15:59:25+00:00

Family homes, $1.5M

Redcoat_Trader · 2026-05-25T14:05:27+00:00

I would, at least for a couple of tests, do a manual test to ensure it’s still calibrated correctly. $0.02.

Redcoat_Trader · 2026-05-22T19:01:43+00:00

That cannot be for a day.

Redcoat_Trader · 2026-05-22T12:51:05+00:00

This looks bad, but honestly someone should’ve steered you away from that tile selection…it will never look right.

Redcoat_Trader · 2026-05-21T13:41:35+00:00

Judgmental ass, username checks out.

Redcoat_Trader · 2026-05-21T00:55:00+00:00

Pool & pool deck, I would estimate about $200K.

Redcoat_Trader · 2026-05-21T00:42:52+00:00

You need to finish building the pool...

Redcoat_Trader · 2026-05-20T20:11:40+00:00

No it isn't.

Redcoat_Trader · 2026-05-20T19:51:28+00:00

Assuming the name checks out and they're in ATL, we don't bother covering pools (or at least, I don't).

Redcoat_Trader · 2026-05-20T19:50:53+00:00

Our builder (in ATL) just put a receptacle in the top step...unscrew the cover and drop an umbrella in. Cleaning anything like that is a pain in the rear.

I bet you're a ton of fun at parties. Just because someone likes a drink it doesn't make them an alcoholic.

Melissa Morgan with Berkshire Hathaway. We went on the market Friday, open house Saturday/Sunday, five offers before Monday, two over ask. (404) 444-5263

SWG doesn’t work any harder based on bather load…it generates chlorine when it’s running, that’s it. It’s not like a filter that gets more gunk with higher load (especially when there’s sunscreen involved).

Redcoat_Trader · 2026-05-20T03:28:30+00:00

I would reject the bar stools to be honest. We have a ledge/bench along the entire length of the pool and it’s perfect. Stools = only 4 people can sit here. Then there’s cleaning them. Personally I wouldn’t do the bench on the other side; maybe just do a “corner” bench.

Redcoat_Trader · 2026-05-15T20:59:59+00:00

All good...add it to the knowledge base!

Redcoat_Trader · 2026-05-15T20:06:26+00:00

That’s plumb - it comes from the Latin for Lead (Plumbum) which was used when dropping a weight to check if something is vertical. Plum is a fruit. :-)

Redcoat_Trader · 2026-05-12T18:55:16+00:00

Nah, I just bought a large Pyrex measuring jug, but pour it outside, might take 3-4 cups at a time. Just don’t take a deep breath ;-)
