    I would go with the ones that look like stickers. Not sure the other ones will reach all the way around some of your plumbing.

    Thanks. I was just worried with the stickers fading. The others are laser etched and shouldn't fade.

    When they fade in about 10-15 years, put new ones on.

    Snobby pool related

    Couple I know recently got divorced , she got the kids and the house (she also cheated, was the nail in the coffin of that relationship)
    Along with the divorce she got unemployed because her only job since college has been working for his families very successful home buiding business to the tune of something like 250k/yr salary
    She's been 'looking for a job' in the last ~12 months but hasn't found anything

    Well the pool, that is probably the fanciest i have ever swam in, that I was once told cost over $200k (his cost as the builder) now needs over $10k in some pumps and/ or equipment replacement and she is all bitching to my wife that he won't pay to fix it.

    Lol, I was actually there this weekend to help her re-home a four thousand dollar miniature schnauzer that she has decided she can't afford to keep any more. Came with an unopened 20 lb bag of custom made dog food that cost about $120, a basket full of dog food seasonings to sprinkle over said dog food, a leash that I looked up and it cost $90, along with some kinda stupid clear walled indoor crate.
    Two other full breed dogs (labradors) are still up for free adoption if yall know anyone.

    Air conditioner in the master bedroom wasn't working, so I helped find the breaker for it. It wasn't tripped, but don't worry too much, the 2000 sq ft pool house a/C was still working fine. And the a/C for the part of the main house where the kids stay 4 days a week was working fine.

    Pool was completely drained.

    Almost have all of this stuff working properly. Doesn't show up well on camera but one laminar is definitely more vibrant than the other so they may swap the light out. If I'm being honest, the "fire" effect looks pretty wimp irl. The videos we saw were with the Bronze bowl and it looks great. Doesn't play as well in the clear bowl but the other colors are way better and my kid likes those more so yea. Now that it's in fire mode we can't get it back to color mode smh.

    Daytime pics I took for a friend that's using the same builder. For daytime just waiting on the water level table for the kids sitting area to come in. It'll anchor to the hole in the bottom of that area.

    Make sure you get one with the swivel cable. I didn't spend the extra few hundred and regret it every week when I untangle my cable. Dolphin is the best.

    a.tramp we have a couple ducks that have taken up shop in our pool and idk what the negatives are. They've hung out daily for a week. Maybe bc we have the heater on the pool? Wife took the umbrella out of the table bc she thought they'd like to lay in the sun in that area. :facepalm: Cedric loves chasing them around the pool, they just swim in circles and look at him like he's dumb. My concern is are they going to shit all in the pool? Any experience with this?

    Yea not possible with my wife. Don't think I would if she wasn't involved but zero chance she'd allow that. In fact, making burgers tonight and opened the gas grill we don't use often and there's a damn mouse in there with a whole ass nest. She was literally giving birth, little pink baby hanging out her ass. Wife quickly covered it back up so we wouldn't stress the mouse out. Now she's gathering nesting stuff to leave nearby incase the mouse needs supplies. Now doing burgers on flat top inside.

    Going to start with turning the heater off. Hopefully the cooler water makes them go somewhere else.

    Just checked and duck free as of now. Going to get a new umbrella up that covers the area they like the most. Idk if they like shade or sun though. Wife was supposed to order an alligator so we'll see when that comes in.
