Very nice my neighbor has one I still love my intex pool I can take down and put away hi from texas.
@@alexander2685 ahh, yes. That is something I never did with my index. Mine was up all winter. Thank you for sharing your perspective.
Any updates? Mine does the same thing
@@jameshoffman3730 Hmm, mine done a lot of weird things and wasn’t always reproducing the same symptoms. I replaced the HMI / control unit and it is working good now. I didn’t finish the 2nd video because I could never put my finger on what was actually faulty.
Thanks for the video!! This is exactly what my starter is doing!!!
@@CalebLivaudais glad we could help!
Hey brother, props on the pool. Wrapping up the deck for our stock tank pool as we speak. I just wanted to jump in here and tell ya that your diagonal strap for you gate should go the other direction. You want the brace to run from the bottom hinge up to the latch side of the gate. Wood, when properly constrained, is generally stronger in compression than it is in tension. Running the strap the other direction will place most loads on your strap in compression rather than tension.
@@w.j.hammer5902 thanks for sharing the tip!
Just so u know trains pour sand on the rail to get traction and climb hills 😄
Fabulous video. Have been to Louisville and always meant to explore Jeffersonville. Was not aware of this pedestrian bridge. Thank you.
@@stephenburns3678 thank you, glad you liked it!
Now that is cool.
@@bro.weaver1282 thank you! It was a fun time.
My father was adopted when he was very young in 1930s. Thru DNA testing we found many of his blood relatives living from S Texas where my adaptive grandparents took in my father from catholic adoption to Durango Mexico. His father was killed in a railroad tunneling work site somewhere in Illinois. Ironically I’m living in Illinois and wonder. Which tunnel did my grandfather meet his end? I lived for 7 yrs in New Albany IN and familiar with Ohio valley terrane and oddity’s. Was a member of N.S.S. National Spelunking society for many yrs. I should concentrate my exploring to S Illinois where tunneling for railroad works in 1930s would have taken place. Thank you for inspiring videos.
@@michaeltait3783 You’re very welcome, and thank YOU for sharing your very interesting story! Best of luck in your search.
Good video, but hardly the only one on YT showing the problem & how to fix. Your starter looks a bit different than our D130, ours has a spring that pushes the bendix up/down and held in place with a mini c clamp. Good tip on holding that bolt in - it’s really in a PIA location.
Thank you! The video is a few years old now and at the time I wasn’t able to find what I was looking for. The bolt definitely has challenges, hope the tip helped!
@@maxspeedadventures Thanks for the tips.
I replaced Motor still won’t feed. I made it turn 1/4 turn then stopped.
Hmm, mine done a lot of weird things and wasn’t always reproducing the same symptoms. I replaced the HMI / control unit and it is working good now. I didn’t finish the 2nd video because I could never put my finger on what was actually faulty.
Do you ever have an issue with rust forming in the tank. I think it happened from using chlorine but I’m not sure ?
No I have not. I think the galvanized coating would have to be scraped away for it to rust. If you notice the difference between now and when it was new in the original video, it now looks cloudy or dull. That is the coating forming what we called white rust when I worked in grain bin business. It forms to protect the metal from rusting. It can flake away in a bending process or roll former. My guess is your tank had missing galvanize.
Thank you so much !
Very nice!!!
Thanks!
I want a tank pool SO badly! It’s convincing my husband that’s stopping me. 😏 I think I’m nearly there! 🤞🏼
Good luck, I just posted a new one last night that talks about how easy it is. I was in the same boat as him from past pool experience. With this I keep it up every year without being asked.
Thanks. Have a great summer.
Thanks, it’s my favorite season of the year. You have a great summer too!
Put the garden hose over a return line to fill up hose
Thanks for sharing the idea!
Good idea but too slow for me I bought a battery operated vacuum and it works great
Thanks for your comment. Feel free to share a link if you like.
This is the kind of person who has no business with a TH-cam channel. Not a single thing you said had anything to do with the downsides to camping in an Element. It rained. Stuff gets wet when it rains. It doesn't matter what kind of rig you're in. Also, it's shameful that you put a bunch of food in a fabric tent and then acted surprised that animals got to it. Like you're out camping and you don't know you need an animal proof container if you're going to do that... If you'd have left it in your car, they wouldn't have gotten to it. ... man, have a seat.
Yikes, I’m sorry you were so disappointed! I’m curious if you watched the whole video to increase your level of discomfort or shut it off early? Also, is there any chance of getting you to subscribe so I can get an honest, no holds barred opinion? Thanks for sharing your perspective, happy camping!
Loved this video!!! Thank you -you might want to look into a Trelino toilet, they come in different sizes, super compact -separates the 1’s from the 2’s and solids can be thrown out in their composting bags. Trelino has awesome reviews. Happy travels!
Thank you so much for your support. I love the sound of your suggestion, if I didn’t already have something similar yet less comfortable that I rarely use, I would definitely check it out. I am sure however someone else will benefit from your suggestion given the popularity of the video. Safe travels!
Sorry that happened, at least you have a large vehicle to sleep in, I do not so I would be devastated and that would be the end of the trip for me 😢 Thank you for the warning
Even a bad day camping is better than a good day working! I just wanted to share a warning to help others and to keep my channel original and believable. Life isn’t always rainbows and lollipops.
Idk that mighta been a squatch!
Yeah, that’s what I said, probably two of them as much as was eaten and how it just disappeared! But, everyone laughed at me.
Put food in cooler and lock in the car. Vaseline on poles help to keep animals away.
We camp in a CRV and my hardfast rule is that before bedtime I put everything that animals could eat or would be messed up by rain in the front seat at night. Anything of value that could be stolen as well. I don’t ever use plastic tote boxes. They’re generally a pain. I use sturdy canvas supermarket type bags to store most everything. So much easier and convenient to pop them into small spaces in the vehicle. Second most important rule is: The weather man/woman tells fibs. Don’t trust the forecast and assume that it’s going to rain and mess up your stuff. Use a cheap tarp or even a dollar store plastic tablecloth if necessary and hold the edges down with rocks
All great ideas, thanks for sharing your lessons learned! Also, you are right about trusting the weather. I actually packed up a day early because of this and was very glad I did.
sorry, how is this "downside to element camping"? its just camping....looks like the element saved your trip...you would have been wet in the tent....
Yes, I would have been wet. I try to show all sides in my videos so my viewers get a realistic picture and are not let down. It’s definitely part of camping. I learned long ago how they can open a cooler!
Am I the only guy who thinks it looked better before? Not saying it looked great, but the worn aggregate was better than that “city sidewalk” look.
Interesting perspective, thanks for sharing. I do appreciate old things, but in this case I think I like the new look better.
The coons once unbuckled my latched cooler and devoured everything. They are quite clever scavengers.
I bought an '05 Element in March. Camped in her last month with 3 other ladies who own Elements, with my 3 dogs. I bought the Coleman ComfortSmart cot and slept on that. With its 15" clearance most of the stuff I brought fit under it. I just swung the two rear seats up and out of the way so my dogs had room to sleep. I've since bought a Thermarest, as the cot pad plus 2 yoga pads weren't enough paddibg for me. I bought a BRS-11 stove (uses isobutane) and ordered a butane adapter (I already have a propane adapter), and just ordered a very small BRS 3000T knockoff in case I need a second burner. Bringing along a small, collapsible twig stove in case you run out of fuel is probably a good idea. After the past year's issues with coons at my house, I don't leave food out when camping. I have hanging containers for fresh fruit and some produce, and small plastic totes that stack for dry food. I'll probably experiment with bringing along my 12qt Alpicool fridge and a small power bank, but so far have just dehydrated food and brought that, so haven't needed refrigeration. I bring a small insulated soft tote with food that needs to be kept cooler, with frozen packs alongside it inside. Good for a couple of days if it's not too hot. I love using the tailgate for sitting or cooking. I have a small 4-shelf rolling rack I found at Walmart and a low chair that folds up small enough to store in the rear compartment, and a side table that collapses for easy storage/travel. I bought two Kelty bags to store kitchen stuff in at REI, & just ordered a knife set that cimes in its own bag with cleaning cloth, soap dispenser and folding cutting board. How'd you make your window covers? I still need to do that for mine.
They are probably telling their buddies how good the snacks were down at campsite 28!
Idk, but they sure went through a lot of food. Cleaned up their mess pretty good actually!
Story for ya. About 20 years ago, my sister and her ex were asleep in their tent when something woke them up. They saw the shadow of a racoon outside the tent so the ex tossed a pillow at the wall of the tent to make it go away. Well, turns out that coon was actually inside. And this was a new tent with a circular opening and it took them a hot minute to find the zipper. They finally found the zipper pull, dove outside and got in their truck. The coon just stared at them from inside the tent while standing on it's hind legs. Then it began pouring rain. And yes, they had a bag of food in their tent. I have laughed about this story forever and it never gets old telling it to others. Thankfully, no one got bit or scratched.
I have always ended my swimming for the day by making a whirlpool -- leaves it pretty much set to clean the next day.
That’s a great idea. Thanks for sharing!
Preciate the video. You oughta have a whole lot more subs my man.
Please educate me about subs??? Videos relating to the pool? Any suggestions would be appreciated too! Thanks
Cool place. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the wonderful support! You’re living my dream, congratulations.
Belated thank you. Not certain how I missed viewing the video, but I did. The winter woods are very special. Many thanks.
Oh man, you missed one of my favorites. Wasn’t that a special morning? Glad you’re up to speed (isn’t that punny) now!
Nice job. :)
Thank you!
How has this held up after 2.5 years? We are needing to resurface our patio and have been debating how we want to go about it.
Overall I would say very well. Considering the cost was about $10 I would say great! The big crack in the middle did crack again as expected, but all the pieces stayed in place and it is still a huge improvement. I wish I was able to share a photo, pictures say a thousand words. Thank you for the question.
@@maxspeedadventures Thanks for the response! I think we are going to give this a shot and worst-case, we won't be out much! 🙂
Good luck and just to emphasize once more, the cleaner you get it prior the better it will stick.
Any update on whether this failed, and what was the drying time?
The sun roof is for the sun, the back is for the night time. 😉 I hv a moon roof also & the moon roof is removable, u know that, right?
I did, I thanks though, someone else may not!

Did you just spread dry concrete and wet it after?
I’ve tried it different ways. I think mixing is the best method to help give it an even consistency. Spreading dry worked, but I needed more water in the thicker spots and it was hard to get right. Concrete is basically a mix of rock, sand, and Portland. The rock and sand settle and it leaves a smooth top coat of Portland. I simple add more Portland over my existing concrete for a new appearance. It’s super easy, you can do it. Good luck!
