    Parts of the concrete deck around our pool are only 3ft wide with no issues using a mesh safety cover.

    I think I may want to clarify on the nozzles. He sat my wife down and did some measurements and set the heights on half the nozzle to hit directly on her lower back where she specified, and the other half to hit just below her shoulder blade for a perfect soothing massage depending on where she's feeling sore. Actually, the nozzle heights are all the same he just made the seat lower in half the spa.

    Well, nothing has progressed since shotcrete. Guess you can see why. We've been getting snow almost every other day and it's been difficult to do anything. We got about 7 or 8 inches of the wet fluffy stuff over night and the temp has been hovering around 10. Blankets have been on since last Friday. Landscapers are supposed to start tomorrow, but I really doubt they're going to be able to do anything. We need a quick warm up and melt.

    Brrrr. What a build! Hope it warms up soon! Did you get your test kits so you will be ready to go?

    I hope your weather is getting better than it was. I wore shorts and a t-shirt today in hopes of changing the weather pattern back to what it was a week or two ago. No, haven't ordered the test kits. But I did just order my new BBQ and accessories for the built-in. Actually, in reading some of the posts on my salt chlorinator thread, JimK and SunnyOptimism seem to think that the K-1766 may be a waste, and test strips for testing salt levels work just fine. No? I believe you had your input in there too.

    Will have to read through that entire thread again. I'm going to have to read through a lot of my posts, again. Kind of miss those guys from my previous post. I'm assuming everyone is still hanging around the forum. CarlD? SunnyOptimism? Heard from JimK. Think he likes our special "pets" we have living under our patio.

    I should probably clarify I have no experience with the Taylor salt test kit. I've only used the strips I mentioned in that thread (with good results).

    Lol...yes, I like a wide variety of critters, including your special ones.

    I think I may start with the strips comparing it to the readout on the chlorinator to see how close they are. If there is a wide reading between the two then I may get the K-1766. Hopefully, that won't give me a completely different reading than the strips or the chlorinator.

    As for the special pets, they're probably frozen popsicle sticks at the moment. It's about 6 degrees out.
