I can vouch for Dillpickle. Had my builder not require me to use his guy/company, I would have easily used him. Very knowledgeable, accessible, and communicative.

Those of you who have installed pools, did it lose its luster after a while such that you regretted it, or is it well worth the sacrifices / trade offs over the long run?


I had smaller children, and it was worth it.

Now that my children are grown, I sold my house -- and am building a new house -- and it will have a pool as well.

This time, I am adding a hot tub, and I'm making the deepest part of the pool only 4 ft. 9 inches.

I want to be able to utilize the entire pool, unlike my last one.
I can tell you that I reached out twice to GenPro, HMC, and Steadfast. No one ever returned my online inquiry or phone call.

The only company that called and followed up was Gage. I ended up not using them as my builder has someone he wants me to use.
I guess one could say that they were United, albeit briefly.

The woman said she was told she had to return to her seat during landing in spite of the sexual harassment she reported because there were no other available seats.

The woman, who was not identified because of safety concerns, described the man seated next to her as a “normal looking,” “unassuming,” guy between 35 and 40 years old who was wearing a T-shirt and hiking pants, the outlet reported.


Her description does not necessarily exclude most of the OT posters on this site.

I didn’t say that. I will say that stereotypes often exist because they reflect actual statistical differences between groups. That’s a statement about base rates, not a claim that every individual fits the pattern.

front loading garages and carports.


Never been my favorite. I'm currently in a rental, and the entire neighborhood is like this. Many people can't park their cars inside them for all the crap they have stored in the "garage" area. It looks like a disaster area, and a lot of people park their vehicles in the street.

The HOA -- and I know many are against HOAs -- is either non-existant here -- or have no authority.

The house next door has one that wraps to the side and I’m admittedly jealous.


I think it's a great look. But very expensive. As others have said, I'm sinking money into my back patio space that will be screened in (motorized), which is what I think many people today are doing if their budget allows for it.

But I do believe I will enjoy being able to sit out on my front porch in a swing -- or a rocker. Until the mosquitos decide to eat me alive, then I will go either inside or to the back porch.:lol:

Why don’t people build houses with wrap around porches anymore?

IMO they are super cool but I don’t really see them around on new houses ever


I agree. Perhaps cost -- it's not conditioned living space.

I am in the process of building and have a very large front porch with sitting area space at both ends. The entire wrap around would not have worked for the look I am after.

I have a combination of Heritage Steel (stainless steel), Made In (stainless steel), and Smithey. I try to buy the best pieces that I want, and those aren't usually in a set.

Every morning is a great morning, because it means we are still here -- and can experience more disappointments and ... more joy, fulfillment, and happiness as well.

I find the Austin locations are significantly better than the franchise BR location.
