SO HELPFUL! thanks for stopping by and taking the time to let me know.

@@PianoPatterns123 absolutely, but cost alone wasn’t my consideration. Lots of water in this area, need for durability, and ground preparation issues changed the story for us and made this the best option.

@@HowerDo That makes sense. Like you said there are other factors involved. I have seen these horse stall mats at Tractor Supply. Some gyms install them in areas where heavy weight lifters can practice clean and jerk, cleans, and military presses. When the weights come crashing down on the floor, the horse stall pads protect the infrastructure.

The matts wouldn’t be great because they compress. That’s the only issue I have - intentions where the legs are. They are fine for me because I’ve got an entire mat so they don’t compress and slide out from under the legs. This is also a reason I didn’t do sand - I didn’t want the sand washing away

To be fair, I clearly started out by saying that I run my mouth in the first 10 seconds. If you stuck around the entire time that’s kind of you my dude. Links to products are in the description as well as me saying things like “cattle pads” and “chat” and there’s this really cool site called “Google” that can help you break those terms down if they are too complex. I’d say I don’t care what you think but clearly I care a liiiiiiittle bit since I came to respond. Also just needed a way to fill a few minutes of my afternoon while I take use the facilities so… here we are. Thanks for watching, though - as far as the TH-cam is concerned a view is a view is a view!

@@WitbierCircus I stand by my original comment. “Google it” is kinda a cop out for providing scant information….heck you barely even showed us the install. All good. I’m sure you’ve got other videos that are outstanding. Hope everything came out ok.

Just had a piece cut to size at Lowe’s. Don’t remember the thickness but it’s “standard” window glass and they got me handled!

If you’ve got the connections I’m game to shift careers toward this endeavor.

Do a video where u copy him in; repeating lines etc. make it work for u. Start by saying…so some people think i could be a Ryan Reynolds’s double, copy some vids and lines….then do your stuff as Ryan Reynolds’s! See if it works for u

U may need glasses or a new prescription, he looks nothing like Ryan Reynolds

@@wesmiller4643 I suppose I could say the same to u from my perspective, and that’s all we wonderfully have , our own perspective….

Very thin layer of chat on top of essentially clay packed earth. Very rocky and clay filled area.

Need more info on what they're called, price and where to get them.

@@user-fy5by5xp7n Cellular plastic - Expanded polystyrene (EPS) with the size 47x23,5x3 inch. The price in Sweden is 6$ a piece and i used 24 to cover the bottom of my 13' round pool. You'll find them in every hardware store all over the globe.

@@user-fy5by5xp7n Cellular plastic - Expanded polystyrene (EPS) with the size 47x23,5x3 inch. The price in Sweden is 6 USD each and I used 24 of them under my 13' feet pool. You can find them in every hardware store around the globe.

No idea! Don’t live there anymore but Lowe’s got me handled without an issue.

Yeah, a small portion of the edge got outside the tarp last year and stained darker. It’s all under a felt pad now - more appropriate to the size and looks a lot better!

Stall mats are big, black, rubber pads. What are you expecting them to look like? Yes, I talk more about the pros/cons and decision, but there's a thumbnail image of the setup on the video link, a link to the actual mats I purchased, a link to the video where I got the idea, and an updated video link in the description. Since I can't sleep, I thought I'd reshare here for you: th-cam.com/video/wxF0W_h1ko8/w-d-xo.html Also working on a new setup this year and I'll share that - with plenty of visibility because that'll matter a lot more with the hard pipe and new deck box I'm adding for the hardware. You could also just... and hear me out on this... not engage just to be negative. I know.... I know.... it'll be hard. But I believe in you - you can do it!

Me too. Good luck to us

What did you put under it, just straight grass? Dirt? Sand? Chat?

@@HowerDo sand inside landscape timber border

Figured looking at big, black, rubber mats would be even less interesting than my face. Maybe try clicking the product link and staring at that while you listen, let me know how it goes. Always a solution when you really put your mind to it!

Loads, but I had to remove material to create a level ground space and have serious drainage issues. I’d be buying sand every year and destroying my yard just to get it in. Also, I don’t like the way sand feels.

I didn't put any sand underneath - it's chat so it sits better, but I need a bit more to create a better layer and level things out.

@@HowerDo Okay. Thanks.

Be nice

The balance really is in price point here for me. I'm debating selling some of these high value Legendaries to fund another box but also wonder if losing them will lock me out of the market long-term. The reprints are for months at this point and there's no telling what they may adjust to support collectibility of the first run. I have had two great boxes though, a third at $250 is just... hard to swallow if I can pick up some singles to 'complete' or future proof a bit.

Also, I think you've gotta go singles or full sealed boxes at this point. Just posted another video about my concerns with buying individual packs. th-cam.com/video/pA5GPbjTXxE/w-d-xo.html

I agree overall, just have to get used to the action rhythms and timing. Also not all this nonsense trying to load people up, fly them through space, and unload them for a battle.

​@@HowerDoyou too have played the original tcg lol

@@Billchu13 Yeah, part of the appeal is seeing how they approached gameplay. So far it's a better game and I'm not spending all my time trying to move ships and people into spaces to fight.

The CCG was so clunky! This carries over some of the concepts but has a more fluid play motion. Still sorting it out - need more game play.

@@HowerDo I used forcetable which is free online to get the hang of it

Love those packs... I pulled a hyperspace Lightsaber in the 3rd slot for uncommon and was stoked, then saw the Luke right behind it. Next pack had a Boba standard foil, made for a great box. This box had solid pulls but nothing fancy or exciting in the foil slots or bonus R/L hyperspace slot. Still very enjoyable.

Hey Mike - I’m going to get an appropriately sized “pool pad” to help with staining but the tarp and had worked fine. The pool pad should be a little softer and will keep the pool liner from settling into the cracks between the pads. The only the spot where it stained is where the tarp got pulled back during setup that stained. I didn’t use pavers because I was concerned the edges might be problematic and the pool would be under stress from the increased height. May try something though because the indented areas are clearly under more stress. Probably add another video soon about this years setup as I’m also shifting to a saltwater based setup.

Believe that's flashing, mine were plastic and I just re-use them. Should be able to get some at a hardware store if you let them know what you're doing.

You mean $800-ish. Current price appears to be $55/ea x 8 = $880 + $50 delivery + tax for his size pool.

Sand is super cheap. It's not anywhere close to $300 for a pool that size. I used play sand I bought at home depot and it cost less than $50 for a 16ft round pool. It's $5 per 50lbs bag, and you only need a couple of inches of sand, just enough to level things out and soften the ground a bit.

what questions can I answer or what can I show you otherwise?

Pool is actually down now so it would be a lot easier to highlight the pads and issues I'm seeing as well, not a bad callout and the perfect time for an update all things considered.

​​@@HowerDo not all of us have a clue what a cattle pad is. That's why you should have shown them

What type of wheels are on your office chair and how much does it weight? Do you feel like the warping and failure was due to the eco underlayment or product?

Rollerblade style wheels - hard plastic but not 'squared off' like a skateboard. Definitely think the underlayment could be connected - it's a lot of pressure and the area under my chair is the only area affected.

Wonderful to hear this is still helpful so many years later!

I had a very hard time finding the strips 5 years ago when I did the video, but I believe you can get them on Amazon if need be. Like everything else I suppose, except actual pieces of glass. That would be silly.

This was a 15x15 round, on an 18x18 base. Debating going up to 18 next year as 15x15 felt a lot smaller than I expected once you throw three kids in the mix.

Lowes or Home Depot has glass. You can get a standard size and cut yourself or ask an associate for help getting the size cut you need.

glad to hear it, thanks for letting me know!

I still say the 'better' approach is new windows, but you can't always swing that cost either! Good luck with it - glad this thing is still helpful after several years of life.
