Lights installed on far side of Lanai
It took us a long time to find something we were going to be satisfied with for the far side of the pool enclosure. We wanted something that would accent the rock wall face without glaring back at the house where we would be sitting most of the time. Some challenges included the fact that … Continue reading Lights installed on far side of Lanai

As a follow on to this, Mat at Pool Tech let me know that Zodiac has since released a fix to correct the concern above so that you are able to trust “Service Mode”.

Zodiac iAqualink Concern, Issues and Suggestions
It’s pretty difficult to find a contact email address for Zodiac USA. All I can find on their site is one of those moderately useful forms. So I’m going to post this message here on my blog and then send them a link. Dear Zodiac, As the new owner of an iAqualink I have … Continue reading Zodiac iAqualink Concern, Issues and Suggestions
2012 Home Renovations – Part 32 – Usable, final punch lists outstanding
We are down to a couple of punch lists. I need to sit down and do a final reckoning and accounting for this project. Hopefully that will be of use to anybody else thinking of embarking on a similar voyage.

Yep, that’s a whole bunch of hail all right..
I was out inspecting the pool (hopefully the final fill up is in progress) when the storm weather came in. That hail was pretty vigorous. The Lanai screening seemed to handle it like a champ, but I’m sure there will be houses in the neighborhood that will need their roofs replaced. You can see the … Continue reading Yep, that’s a whole bunch of hail all right..
2012 Home Renovations – Part 31 – The Pool Liner is In
We came home from a week in Puerto Rico to find some minor updates had been made and that our pool liner had been installed and water was trickling in. The sandbags are to hold the liner in place until the water can come up to that level and do the job itself. Also the … Continue reading 2012 Home Renovations – Part 31 – The Pool Liner is In
Bros: Bros Poop More Wisely
This is chronic debate fodder for the sexes. I’ve never really understood why the ladies don’t just check before using the facilities. ESPECIALLY if they’ve ever fallen in before… The rule has to be that the responsibility has to lie with those who have to suffer the consequences (applies in all areas of life). Of … Continue reading Bros: Bros Poop More Wisely
2012 Home Renovations – Part 30 – Driveway Prepped and Poured
This post comprises 3 working days on the project. The first and last days were too small for me to want to post separately about them and they are all related. On Friday (April 27) the driveway leveling was completed using the bobcat which was also used to tamp it down. One of this project’s … Continue reading 2012 Home Renovations – Part 30 – Driveway Prepped and Poured
2012 Home Renovations – Part 29 – Driveway Demolition, New Door, Window Gone
Today was a day of much progress. We had a contractor and sub meeting and made more decisions – each of which I’m sure will cost me a wee bit more… We had ordered some sconces with the intent of mounting them on our two interior supporting columns facing the pool. We had also intended … Continue reading 2012 Home Renovations – Part 29 – Driveway Demolition, New Door, Window Gone
