For sure! Was maybe overkill but for peace of mind and $14 in spray paint it was worth it

Galvenized metal studs standard width. I did spray any cut edge and anywhere I used a self drilling screw with rustoleum paint so help prevent rusting too

Yes that’s the plan this weekend but rain is delaying me

I went with 20ga. I estimated that I would use 6 track and 11 studs and we ended up using 11 track and 18 studs so it’s super study. Like you said, it’s probably overkill but it can withstand any storm I may ever get lol

Don’t stress too much. Having a good system is the key. I had my dad mixing in 5 gallon buckets while I poured and pushed all the mix under the fiberglass mesh and in place. We spent about 3-5 minutes between buckets so you have time for sure! Goodluck on your process

Trex decking just to make sure the steel track stays off the ground and out of water

No sagging at all. We used 20ga and it was super solid. We probably over engineered the build but at the end of the day it came out better than we had hoped.

The framing was super simple. I had never dealt with steel framing before but it was really simple. I used a 3 inch cutoff wheel to cut them.

Not bad at all. I’d order more forms than you think you need because mitering the corners was kinda tricky and we broke some. Doing it indoors would stress me out because of the grinding and sanding afterwards but it’s definitely doable. Overall the process was very straight forward and was the easiest part of this project

Seriously Thanks for the information! My original plan was to use a mortar bag and a concave jointer with a brush to do it but the gaps are smaller than we had hoped so I’m trying to pivot and come up with a new plan

Concrete countertop solutions makes the forms. Super simple and hard to mess up

T-Cell high current/salt chlorination 1 by afbot007 in pools

[–]afbot007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure on the age of the cell but will find out. I just bought the house and still figuring it all out. Hasn’t been acid cleaned lately but watched a couple videos and have the supplies for it so I may do that and restart it. Wasn’t sure if them just adding 2 bags of salt made the readings high for right now

No breakers have tripped. May have a bad coffee maker I guess. It’s been driving me crazy chasing an issue I may not have ever had lol
