I say ditch the shower. It doesn’t seem to get used much. I did an outdoor shower (I’m in SoCal) and it rarely gets used much other than for the dog or a pool shower. I put a 3 bay stainless sink outside, near the shower. It gets used a lot.

I have a 13kw heater in my shop and it works great. I have 2 sinks and a shower off of it. The biggest thing is to make sure you have the correct gpm faucets in order to slow the water down enough to heat it. Or buy an oversized unit.

It’s only 25’ of wire. There are lights and outlets already done, along with the gate motor. I‘ll most likely use the 14 gauge wire I have on hand. I was curious if there was something else better/easier to use that could be run in conduit to the call box. It’s in its own conduit that’s already...

I’m wiring up my gate to my property and I need some recommendations. I need some low voltage wire for my gate call box. Its power supply is 24v 2amp supply. I also have the Knox for the FD and the open signal wires. They originate from the junction box that also houses the 120 volt supply to...

This is a 40x50x14. I unloaded with a skid steer and forks. A little sketchy but it’s all we had. ^^^LopezBart has some great advice

I did mine with a floor buffer and diamond pads from concretefloorsupply.com. I also used a densifier and some kind of sealer. It’s been great. A little slippery when wet but no big deal in socal. It’s been hassle free for 6 years now. welding, mechanical work on cars, trucks and tractors...

I’ve learned quite a bit from https://www.everything-about-concrete.com/ and https://youtube.com/@odellcompleteconcrete?si=yXaGsPH6fAV5Pjc1 I’ve successfully poured a lot of concrete around my property. I learned from the internet and I also found a finisher that was helpful and willing to...

Danny- https://www.troublefreepool.com/forums/ is all you need for the pool. Stop going to the pool store. Buy a REAL test kit (you can order from the forum too) and follow The advice on the forum. Also, use the “Pool Math” app. Salt water generator or liquid chlorine each a have slight...

I need to finish mine. It needs the mirror, some artwork on the walls, and the septic put in. It also doubles as the pool bathroom.

I use the Simpson Titens for concrete screw anchors and the hammer drive pin anchors that Solo Machinist posted above. I avoid Tapcons all together now. https://www.strongtie.com/mechanicalanchors_mechanicalanchoringproducts/thd_anchor/p/titen-hd

Do you know which one you have? I’m getting ready to buy one and I’m looking for recommendations.

Which model is that?

I really need to install my Starlink. I’ve had it for a month and haven’t had time to install it (finishing the pool while it’s still hot was priority). We’ve been using an AT&T FirstNet hotspot for a few years. It’s okay but real internet will be nice.

Here’s 3 different options from NDS. I’ve used the right 2 around my property with success. I use the middle one for drains that don’t see constant water flow.

You can use PVC if you want, I did, but I had a unique situation. I’d use black poly/HDPE/PEX. You can check out Ewing https://ewingirrigation.com/products/irrigation/pipe/hdpe-pipe or PUS in Corona https://www.performanceutilitysupplyinc.com/ I’m pretty sure They’ll have what you need. Also, I...
