Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

We used Ramuc AcryLuster Acrylic paint. It was self-priming, so put two coats on.

You’re welcome! Glad it helped!

I did not find any trace of a bonding grid when I removed the old equipment, plumbing, ladder anchors, light, and diving board.

@WoodmereEstateRevival Understand. Glad you're getting that installed. Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for watching! That is the decorative handle on our damper.

We used cabinet screws through the frame face into the side panel. Also, we attached cleats to the floor and wall behind the side panel and then screwed through them into the panel. That holds the panel very securely.

I believe we used Krylon High Heat Max in flat black.

Thank you! 😊

Hi Rich! Our oldest is driving now! We haven’t had much time to add to the channel lately, but I am determined to start posting regularly again! Hope y’all are well!

@@WoodmereEstateRevival would love to stop down next summer..

No, since it is designed as a wall/island oven, it vents out of the front.

@@WoodmereEstateRevival Thanks for the response

Thanks, dad lol

Hi Paul. These are ventless gas logs. You’re thinking of vented gas logs, which require a special vent from the outside for fresh air and exhaust. Ventless logs work in an existing masonry fireplace, and they use air from the house to burn and a working flue to exhaust the combustion gasses.

I'm considering this for a pool build of my own, thank you!

They actually worked great. The biggest challenge was using that giant core drill on scaffolding in the deep end. We only had one of the four fittings leak. The mounting flange on the inside of the pool cracked so I had to get a new flange, disassemble it, and then reassemble it with more teflon paste on the threads.

Thanks, Danny. I was a TH-cam newb back then. I learned later on to start filming in landscape.

Glad you liked it!

That’s a tricky one. You might try calling a local scaffolding supplier and see if they have any recommendations. Otherwise you may have to build your own and use some diagonal bracing to support the edges.

Glad you liked it! Thank you!

We looked at several pebble type finishes, but eventually went with a spray in fiberglass finish. We’re really happy with it.

Thanks for your feedback. It looks better with some more “wood” chunks and coals around it now as well as a screen and brass fireplace fence. We have a wood burning fireplace in the living room and enjoy building fires in it regularly, but it is very nice to be able to come home from work and hit the button for a fire.

We got about 3 years out of it before it started blistering and peeling.

Thanks for the question! When you say gas odor, do you mean the mercaptan smell in unburnt gas or the combustion smell of burnt gas? If it’s the mercaptan, then that could indicate a leak in the burner assembly that’s allowing some gas to escape without combustion. If it’s the smell of combusted gas, then you may not have an adequate draft in your flue to carry the combustion gasses up the chimney. If your unit is meant to be vented, then the damper needs to be at least partially open to provide adequate ventilation. Find the manufacturer and model number for your unit and get a manual from the manufacturer’s website. I wouldn’t burn it until you confirm proper operation. Many local gas utilities will come inspect gas appliances for free. We had our gas company check out our installation.

Thank you! We followed the instructions on Swimming Pool Steve’s website and they worked great! www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pages/pool-plaster.html

Thank you! We did some research on pool automation systems and the Hayward system seemed to fit our needs well. Our Jandy water fill is standalone and does not interface with the Hayward system.

Thanks for the reply!!@@WoodmereEstateRevival

Thanks, Dan! It was quite the job. Our paint lasted about 3 years before it started bubbling. We ended up having a company come in and apply a fiberglass coating on the concrete. It’s doing great and should last us another 15 years.

We ended up taking it off about a month after I published this video. No squirrels in the dryer so far!

No, because the oven is a no/low clearance design.

Happy New Year, Rich! I’m going to be posting more regularly this year. Stay tuned!

Thank you!

Go ahead. He’s listening.

Steam mops are typically not recommended for natural stone surfaces. There are a number of cleaners and sealers out there for natural stone. I would go that route instead.

That’s your opinion, and I respect that, but we didn’t care for the late 60’s, early 70’s style in a southern colonial house. Be sure to watch the wrap up episode showing the open hearth design with the handmade poplar surround and a gas insert.

That’s the safety lockout light. That means the system filled the pool up to the prescribed maximum time and it won’t fill again until 24hrs has passed and the lockout resets. You can lengthen the lockout time if you like. Here’s the manual that describes how to do that: images.inyopools.com/cloud/documents/levolor-manual.pdf

It’s very minimal. The overlap is small so you have to get your opening exact.

Hahaha glad you liked it!
