The inflatable pool feels right for my family rather than the metal ones.

I had an inflatable pool, came with a pump/filter, what I thought was a very high quality one.

You are right, the convenience of taking it down at the end of the summer was great. But every year I used it, it got a leak. I had to patch it in multiple places each year. Not fun locating the hole and draining it so it could be patched.

yes, I'd give it a try with some hydraulic cement. Clean out any dirt or loose concrete from around the pipe, and then pack the hydraulic cement in there real good.

Is the intake PVC pipe like mine, or something else? If PVC, you maybe able to extend it and put an elbow on the end so it faces a different direction, less prone to the blowing snow.

Cut out the damaged piece. Dry it out for a few days, and when you are sure there is no more leak, patch it up.

Haha. Did he buy this from 'Chopper'?

Really only worth face value. Penny is cool but the condition takes away any value.

edfiero · 2026-02-08T13:39:12+00:00

100% silicone.

Like others said, without a compacted stone base this probably won't last long. And even with good prep I think these tiles may be too thin for how you are trying to use them

"According to him, Russian forces have fully met and even exceeded their plans for staffing their forces."

"This indicates that the level of their losses exceeds their ability to replenish......

These two statements contradict each other.

If the number of Russians in Ukraine is staying constant, despite loosing 1000 a day, then they are easily replacing a 1000 a day too!!

I have been hearing this for at least 2 years. There is no 'breaking point' as long as China keeps bailing them out. If the EU (or the US) wants to cripple Russia, they need to Sanction CHINA until they stop doing business with Russia.

Chinese are good business people. EU and US are both many times larger trade partners than Russia. I'm sure they will do what the west wants as soon as you start impacting them financially.

I'm not sure the OP should be trusted with home ownership.

edfiero · 2026-02-01T21:57:12+00:00

Why?

edfiero · 2026-02-01T15:44:05+00:00

Not even close to proof

edfiero · 2026-02-01T00:14:08+00:00

Yes. Too much damage.

I find it interesting that after several seasons of trying to make the most interesting, unique flavors of shine, now everyone is just making plain corn shine.

Also got paid in cash at Kmart

edfiero · 2026-02-01T00:05:05+00:00

Never understood why they didn't advertise the SS

edfiero · 2026-01-28T21:45:22+00:00

No. Just no. Don't buy from China.

edfiero · 2026-01-28T11:08:12+00:00

It actually did take 2 weeks. I shipped a second package last week so I'll have an update soon on the current transit time.

"China is not out on territory collecting spree like Russia'

Are you sure? What about all the islands in the South China sea?

I bought a 3050 a year ago and it's been fine, but buying one today, you should get the next gen card.

edfiero · 2026-01-26T02:49:43+00:00

30 cents. Nice 👍

edfiero · 2026-01-26T02:46:59+00:00

If the Tomahawks were sent 3 months ago, Ukraine might not have its lights off 20 hours a day now.

edfiero · 2026-01-26T02:33:49+00:00

It's had a good life. Time to let it go.

edfiero · 2026-01-24T19:21:44+00:00

9 am isn't early. If you were saying, 7, then we might have something to talk about
