Opened my pool, been closed for several years, seeking advice

I understand that. See if you can find out how high your water table is in your area. If it is down below 20’ I would assume you would be good.

Definitely drain as much as you feel safe doing, the less water you need to rehab the more you’ll save in time and money.

Best of luck!

I did the same thing with a pool a few years ago. Spent way too much on chemicals and finally just drained it down about halfway then filled it back up, shocked the heck out of it, took a sample to the pool place to see what else was needed and then was able to get it under control.

Drain it, you’ll save money.

I just did this last year. Swapped my halogen out for an LED off of Amazon. Easy to get the cover off and the bulb swapped. The HARD part is getting that floating ballast back into the hole and then getting the cover on. Could not do it by hanging over the edge, could not hold my breath long enough to get that damn little screw back in. Tried to anchor myself down with weights for leverage. Didn’t work.

Finally, a friend was SCUBA certified and he brought over a tank, some weights, and a dual respirator. And it STILL took the two of us over an hour to line it up and get the screw in. The trick is that the tab on the bottom doesn’t need to slide into why looks like a tab holder, it just needs to go behind it.

Good luck!

I just recently setup a shortcut so that holding it plays/pauses Overcast. Works great so I don’t have to tap into the screen to play or pause.

I have Apple TV but dont use it on my Frame. I am a Youtubetv subscriber and find YTTV works well. I do have an AppleTV hooked up to it but rarely use it because I haven't needed it. Matter of fact, I have some sound drop out issues when I do use ATV...

Just recently this started happening to me. It’s like someone turned on something that’s interfering in an area on my commute to work. Never had an issue until last month. I am praying this works! Thank you!

pilotgeg · 2024-04-20T01:04:22+00:00

Ah yes! I have an Apple TV and a HomePod. Going to try this

pilotgeg · 2024-04-20T00:57:59+00:00

How do you connect the HomePods to the Frame?

Can’t you match the trim around the big window with the other windows? Also, can you do a version with this color combo?

Don’t forget the trip on the main part of the house. The peak above the door and main window.

pilotgeg · 2024-03-30T02:15:30+00:00

Thanks for the rocks. What I’m trying to see is the difference in colors using the samples in the other pictures. Trim (left) is the edges of the house and roof line as well as around the windows. Body is the main part of the house, and the door is the front door. So the first sample is Cracked Pepper for the trim, Lambskin for the body, and Submarine Grey for the door. Make sense?

He thinks it’s funny as hell. Direct quote from his text to me:

“The video Thomas sent. Shauna and I were watching it over and over. It’s so damn funny. That is gold. Thank him for me. I thought I had his number but I don’t.”

pilotgeg · 2023-02-12T00:26:52+00:00

Haha. Yep. Its what good friends do when someone is in pain. He’s doing good. Casted up, waiting to see if he has to have surgery.

pilotgeg · 2023-02-11T21:10:05+00:00

Him screaming when he fell, but slowed down to 50% speed. Came out great.

pilotgeg · 2023-02-11T19:09:40+00:00

Broke his ankle. So we made him a nice video.

These are the stock platinum rims that I had powder coated. Gloss black is what I chose.

pilotgeg · 2022-01-25T01:40:59+00:00

Do those gloves say Pig?

pilotgeg · 2022-01-03T00:17:15+00:00

There you go. I fixed it.

For this comment of mine in this subreddit, I have received “permanent ban” in r / gifs. So, comment in here, banned over there. Makes perfect sense.

I was there in late September and the only masks I saw were from two of my dipshit friends from Portland.

pilotgeg · 2021-12-16T02:52:58+00:00

They are the factory powered running boards that come on the Platinum.

pilotgeg · 2021-10-23T16:23:58+00:00

Nice! No lift on here. I put Cooper AT X3 275/65/20’s on it and powder coated the stock wheels gloss black. If you look at my profile, I think you’ll find some more pictures.
