Our Mountain Retreat

It is easy to accidentally close a thread... That's what happened but it's fixed now. Hey Jim

Happy Sunday everyone,

Here’s what has happened in the past week. Coping and most of the tile has been completed. Tile for steps, benches and sundeck will wait until just before plastering.





Also, the equipment building has been completed, and the Easytouch subpanel has been installed along with the surge protector. I was going to insulate and drywall in there but as you can see some spots are going to be a bit tough to do. Anyone have any helpful hints?





We’re waiting for grounding inspection at the moment and then the landscapers can come in and start with the flagstone. Hopefully, that will be tomorrow. Can’t wait for some of the dirt to be covered up.

Wow, your pool build makes mine look like I got it at Toys R Us!

Drywalling in there around all that equipment is going to be a bear!

Thanks Jim. It's finally moving forward again. Had a few slow weeks, but now we're looking to fill in about 2 or 3 weeks. Wooohooo!

Don't suppose you've got some spare time to come help with the drywall? I'll grill up a steak and give you all the beer you can handle.

Yeah. We've gotten to be pretty good friends with the landscaper (who built the building for us) and I couldn't sucker him into either...but he is taking me up on the steaks and beer once we're all done.

Hmmmm. Steaks and beer, huh? Is that offer still good???

A question about drywall: are you going to use green board or concrete board?

Sure, Former. Medium, Medium-rare, or Rare? I dont' do Well, unless I've have too many of those beers and forget I'm cooking.

I've only drywalled once with a friend before, so I'm not sure. I'll have to do some research before I start. Recommendation?

R.A.R.E. or they sometimes call it blue. Cool to cold center. Thanks for asking.

Green board is for bathroom walls, concrete board for shower walls. Personally I suggest concrete board as it could get wet in there. Equipment erupts sometimes, especially if you've had that extra beer and forget to close a valve or something.... (YOU brought up the beer forgetfulness...) If you have a pressure release valve on your filter, lotsa water!

You have a heater, right? The heater needs to be vented too. I think someone could make a ton of money figuring out how to capture all the heat that escapes a heater. You could even cook my steak over the exhaust... Hmmmm. Grill-Pool Heater combo. That's an idea! But really, heaters do have an incredible output. Vent that puppy.
