    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.

    Well, it was another slow week for our build. Not much has happened because of the weather, 6+ inches of wet, heavy snow and rain on and off since Wednesday night. Can't even go back to see what's happened with the rest of the equipment. Supposedly, everything is done including the control unit for the SWCG.

    This week, the landscapers are supposed to be back and we should have the deck and fire pit completed by Friday...but more rain and snow are in the forecast.

    We'll see.
