Belongs to our development, a few hundred feet from my house. Never more than a few people, ever!! Weekend, maybe 20 people. 45 foot by 90 foot. Theresa misses her own pool, not me. This is perfect.

No maintenance, and a couple 100 feet from your house….win:win!
 
After downsizing life has changed. I had two of everything and six was better. I had more stuff and more house than I needed. I didn't want to deal with it anymore, I was tired of thinking about it and after having so much for so long, I was done. I wasn't into someone doing it for me, paying someone just didn't feel right or really isn't who I am. Now I realize I should have kept it for my wife's sake and just paid someone to do what I didn't feel like doing anymore. After working all day I'd come home and build or maintain homes all night. I don't even enjoy mowing the yard anymore. Trees and perennial flower gardens a hundred foot around with enough flowers and bullshit to choke a horse. The pool had me tied to the house, if not just to empty the skimmer at least once or twice a day. It was salt water, less maintenance, but, never the less, it didn't take care of itself.

It really doesn't matter, my life has no reverse in it. I offered to buy her a condo at the lake and she said no. She said I'd want another boat, which is true and I'm not spending 150 thousand to get back into that game, that train left the station a long time ago..............Oh I said the pool was a few hundred feet up the street, it's closer to 4. Everything is a few hundred feet to me, you should see what I told my wife a foot looks like.......
 
Just got back from the hospital after getting an follow up ultra sound done on my heart, after getting a "valve job" done November 2020.
 
Got my Harbor Freight solvent tank all set up the way i want it to be.
Installed casters on the legs, to wheel it around the garage, anywhere i want it to be.
Installed a remote filter kit on it. All the fittings, adapters, hoses, to make it to my likeing.

Can you get new pumps for those?

I found one in my dumpster a few years ago and discovered the pump is bad.

Not sure why someone would toss it if pumps were available.

Thanks.

That explains it.

New pump costs as much as a whole new parts cleaner from HF.

At least I can use it manually.
 
The last couple days have gone like this:
Had ONE (long!) day to swap out a 12kV switch arrangement....Had my guys on site at the buttcrack of dawn so donuts and coffee were on me!

Spent a couple of days making the capping's for my retaining walls and garden box. Using fresh machine graded treated timber...had to route a groove to suit the tongue of top of the walls.
