re: In-ground Pool Owners: do you regret it?
Posted by Skeeterzx190 on 9/28/26 at 5:15 pm to PenguinNinja
Have a 11k gallon in ground pool. We love it. We all use it. It’s really no maintenance at all. Usually takes me about 10 minutes one day a week for testing and the dolphin vac does the rest. Super easy and no regrets.

Maybe like the LNG facility heading towards Venice. Build gigantic walls around it?
re: running electricity 1000 ft from road
Posted by Skeeterzx190 on 8/22/26 at 8:07 pm to diat150
Dealing with this just recently. I purchased 32 acres at the end of a road. Entergy installed 4 power poles and connected to my temporary pole for construction. The issue I had were the trees in the way. We cleared a road and Entergy wanted 30 feet clearance on each side of the road, and that is from
The ground to the heavens. Any canopy from a beautiful tree had to be cut or the whole tree removed. I had to pay them to trim my new neighbors trees in her front yard as well.

$10k for 7 days for a cabin in North Carolina on a lake! This was for the cabin itself. We also rented a party barge for 2 days, went white water rafting and ate out a few times.

I had a great experience. Very easy to deal with and no issues speaking to them.

5 years ago I bought a 20kw generac from HMC along with the generac wire that is color coded for easy connection. Was not much price difference between the 18 and 20kw. Pretty simple to do the job yourself especially with the color coded generac wiring.

re: Tell me about life on the bayou
Posted by Skeeterzx190 on 6/28/26 at 4:38 pm to m2pro
I used to spend my summers on the bayou in port sulphur. We had a camp and my grandparents would basically move to the camp in April and stay until October. It did have electricity but was only accessible by boat. We caught rain water in a cistern for showers, washing dishes, and hand washing clothes. It was a village of many camps. Some of the native tribe lived on the water fully time and there was a school hiuse and a crew boat/ school bus boat if you will that ran as a school bus during the school year. I’d go to the camp for a month or two at a time. Daily fishing off the dock, running crab and min is traps around the camp, trawling daily during shrimp season. We’d make dried shrimp by the buckets. It was some of the best times of my life.
re: Queston for O&G people about subsidizing refineries
Posted by Skeeterzx190 on 6/24/26 at 1:10 pm to Violent Hip Swivel
Not too sure if subsidies would help. Just a single unit in a refinery cost billions and many years from design, manufacturing, and building. In those years the next administration enters the white house usually with a push for green energy, mpg mandates, etc. While oil and gas goes into everything I do t think companies are willing to invest tens of billions when the intention is to phase out oil and gas eventually

I have spoken to the engineer, he has been out twice and sent email with picture and marked trees to me removed and trimmed. I have also spoken to his supervisor who claims the same thing. I am responsible for getting power from the last pole on the street to my property, this includes trees in neighboring front yard.

It is in right of way with other utilities. Yes entergy can do it even if she refuses. However since I’m the customer wanting power all cost go to me.
re: Entergy new service
Posted by Skeeterzx190 on 6/4/26 at 10:47 am to ABucks11
Entergy says it’s cheaper for me to speak with the neighbor and hope to get permission to trim or remove. If entergy does it the cost will be significantly higher. It is on a right of way/ servitude. They can deal with tree if she doesn’t allow me access.
Entergy new service
Posted by Skeeterzx190 on 6/4/26 at 9:03 am
Currently developing some property to build on. It’s at the end of a street. The power stops at the last house on the street. I bought the acreage at the dead end. I have cleared a road going in and a pad for a house. I have cleared the 30 foot right of way Entergy’s requires. The issue is the last power pole is in the front yard of the last home on the street. It has one tall pine tree that’s being required to be trimmed or removed. Entergy is saying it’s on me and I’m responsible to remove the tree or trim it. This tree is not on my property or even remotely close to a property line. It’s in the neighbors front yard. I haven’t spoken to the neighbor yet. I feel if it’s Entergy’s right of way they should speak to her and tell her they need to trim it. What’s your thoughts?

I use a 3 way swivel and a lead duck decoy weight. When stored and not using the decoy weight can be compressed around the noodle. Works well for me
re: 18k Gallon pool maintenance Q
Posted by Skeeterzx190 on 4/7/26 at 8:05 am to SwampCollie
I have a 12k gallon pool. Really no maintenance at all. I have the uv light set up and chlorinator. During cooler months I put on chlorine tablet in the tube and it’s set on 1. During hot months I put 2 tablets. Dolphin vac cleaner when needed. Backwash and add chlorine usually on a Monday. That’s it. Maybe 5 minutes of my time. Never had any issues with water.
