Any thoughts on these colleges?
Necro-bump Pool Jr. Looking out of state. His top 3 he's been accepted to are: Clemson, Auburn and Ole Miss. Looking business and/or economics. Possibly law post grad. Any surly wisdom?

If you're going to do all that go to designer to plan complete project. Some, but not all do patio covers. You don't have to rip out deck if you stay w/acrylic ( like a kool deck). But you will for travertine. Yes you can add a spa. It's a pain in the ass, but can be done.

2021 Houston Texans offseason thread
So about 12 years ago Pool jr ( then age 6) was playing madden/Texans and even on EA they sucked ass and he was pissed. So I changed his home team to Payton/colts. He was hooked. Been a Colts fan ever since and we've joined him. (I know! csb!) So my advice is to follow anybody but the fucking Texans. Of course I stopped watching the NFL about 85 when Earl went to new orleans.

Does this particular artifact have USB ports for charging Android phones? Is it possibly filled with tequila? If not tequila, bourbon?

The skimmer close to trees I'm assuming is a venturi skimmer. Good call.

In-floor systems are a fairly high margin product for pool builders. There's a ton of cost but don't think that the gp% goes down. They're putting 30%gp on those systems all day long. Plus there are fairly high manufacturer's incentive for pool builders to sell them (oh and they top sales people individually). Done right they should keep the bottom of your pool clean of sand, silt and leaves, but what's the ROI for that 6-8k? You're going on your 4th pool. If you plan on moving relatively soon again, is it worth it? And you're looking to have weekly maintenance anyway..... I'm not following what you're saying about "robots". There are 3 common types of cleaners: Pressure (polaris 280), Suction (old school Kreepy Krauly) and robotic. The pressure cleaners are the one's that "squirt the windows", not the robotic - or I've never seen a robot that does that. You should never swim while the cleaner is running. pull it out. (that's what she said) In-floor systems originated out of Arizona due to the high volume of dust/sand. A&A, Caretaker and bluesquare all are from Arizona originally. But if they are going to sell their product nationwide they need another pitch. Hence the leaves and debris. So they added leaf canisters, etc. Some builders are comfortable selling for sand/silt and will push them (again you're adding 6-8k to a project - don't forget your designer is ultimately a commission based salesman). Some don't want to deal with the grief that they CAN get clogged with leaves, sticks etc and have a pissed off homeowner so they won't sell them if there's a ton of leaves being introduced and they pitch them as the Ultimate Pool Cleaner (as long as you don't have leaves)!!! Don't do an in-floor with a pool cleaner. It's redundant. IMO I would only recommend for high volume leaf environments with the addition of a leaf cannister and I've also added cyclonic filtration as well. ALL THAT BEING SAID!!!!! You do You and if you take my recommendation and hate it afterward, don't bitch at me. You like, trust, feel good about in-floor systems. Put it in. If you take my advice and are unhappy with it sorry! lol, I ain't making anything off you, just adding my 2 cents!

Take a loan out of your 401k. That's smart, right?

Urban to Texas Flair
@immamac since you have a little pull around here, can you nudge @blacklab to remove the pacifier/badge from his avatar? It's one of my favorites but the "paci" is kind of distracting.

Don't ever, EVER say winning (a game) is hard. You are the HFC for the University of God-Bless Texas and have all the advantages that go with it. Winning is not fucking hard. Winning championships is hard, but that's the point.

House that I believe was built by plastic surgeon for private practice. But get this. Contractor built on wrong lot. So there's a smaller version next door, also abandoned. Indeed. Yes.

Yes. Not in Austin. So talk to builder to see if an SCP or SPP has a showroom near you to see tile if you didn't find something at npt. May be better than npt. Npt, scp and spp are all parts of poolcorp. You should have wide selection for standard waterline tiles. Oh and see if there's a mastertile open up there. Poolcorp bought them recently. So if your builder can buy from npt he can buy from all the others.

Ask builder if they have secondary distribution for tile or if you can go to distribution. I have 50ish selections of standard in showroom.
