Pool question for richers (Wild Cobra, Cosmic Cowgirl, Anyone???) - Crooked Skimmer

[DarrinS]

Well, if your skimmer is crooked, you have no choice but to rent a bobcat and fill the pool with top soil. Less maintenance that way, tbh.

[CosmicCowboy]

Yeah, No one bolts their pumps down, only in a comercial setting where the pumps are mounted to the wall. So what cracked? The Pump Pot? the Valute(returnside)?

Kept breaking at the vertical 90 from the pump to the filter valve. Vibration/fatigue.

I'm outa here for the night. Have a great life.

Meh...mines a little pool and building it myself it only cost about 12K.

I would need to have a place with a larger plot as well. I like grass over water. Swimming... That's what the Sandy, Clackamas, and Columbia rivers are for.

I'm sorry, what was the problem again? Just rent that one out and buy a bigger and better home. I fail to see the problem in this.

The first thing I would do is fire my assistant for not checking every detail of the purchase. The next thing I would do is have my attorney sue in order to take EVERYTHING from the seller. If I am going to spen a million dollars on a home then I don't want a crooked anything.

that's stupid. so we can just refer to something by it's brand now? for anything? hey I'm going to go pick up another Battista. frist I need to get my Rolf though.

The picture WC posted is actually a mini backhoe made by Bobcat and not what is commonly called a "bobcat". Bobcat was the first company to make a skid steer loader and became almost a generic name for skid steers. My skid steer loader is actually a Cat but some people still call it a bobcat.

A guy 2120 hooked me up with did the rock work on the pool itself but I think his main deal is plastering and tiling pools so I'm not sure how compe ive he is on just rock work. I did the flat patio sections Redneck style. Mixed about a 2" layer of sand and cement and then laid the rocks out until I liked it. Then hosed it down til all the sand and cement got wet and set up and then came back and grouted. Worked great and has held up well.

I'll hose you down and help you get your sand wet and mushy. Then grout and ing trade blows and hammer each other's feet with big bricks until we can't stand the pain anumore.

This may be true, but it is the image I had when Darrin said Bobcat related to filling a pool with dirt. "Crescent wrench" is also an adjustable wrench made by Crescent. Brand names get mixed in with common descriptions all the time. Teflon also Duponts name for PTFE.
