I wouldn’t be afraid of a gunite pool if the plaster is in good shape. I bought a house with a gunite pool after only taking care of vinyl liner pools and didn’t see a big change. I did have it replastered and it was way cheaper and faster than I thought, but it was already chipping when I bought the house.

So if it’s a house you may be in long term, you have the option to change the color when it’s time for a refinish. Mine was 22 years old before we refinished and now it’s brand new again.

I DIY’d my bathroom and did Pex B due to the cost of the expansion tool. Unless you have access to one, it’s just not feasible.

I was advised not to use the “pinch rings” that are more like a hose clamp but the actual copper crimp rings.

I would splurge on the crimps that have the plastic insert that keeps it snug to the pex while you crimp it.

So you’d sheath the entire interior of your house? Have to cut out all the receptacles and extend them the thickness of the ply? I would not do that. I’d put 3/4” ply in pocket door frames for toilet paper holders and blocking for TVs and call it a day.

Yes, fairly straightforward. Some disassembly of the pump will be necessary to get the motor detached but it’s not bad. Usually just have to deal with minor corrosion/stuck bolts.

I gave up on CCA doing more than sinking concrete and hosting banquets.

I doubt it’s a breaker. If it’s multiple parts of your house, it’s likely just low service voltage. The weather has warmed this week so not unexpectedly, utility voltage can drop.

If you have a good meter and are comfortable using it, you can measure the voltage on each breaker to neutral. Also make sure all neutrals are tight.

If it’s brief, it may also correspond to your A/C or other large load kicking on.

I installed a SWG 3 years ago and it has been great. But I recommend upgrading your pump seal to extreme duty as the saltwater will eat it up and get into your motor bearings.

I’d start with the easiest…make sure it’s not your truck or a dirty plug first.

If that’s good, I’d check voltage at the light to see if the light failed internally or if you have a bad connection somewhere dropping your voltage. With LEDs, they need a certain threshold voltage to turn on, unlike incandescent which would just be dim. Low voltage = bad connection somewhere.

Doing a bathroom renovation and planning to replace the ceramic tile with marble. Seeing all the rage with uncoupling membranes but unclear on if it’s needed as I’ve pulled up a ton of ceramic over the years and it’s always set directly on the slab.

Needed or overkill? The downside I foresee is adding marginal height where it will meet the existing floor at the door.

Anyone know why LP smartside trim is hard to find in Louisiana? I’ve searched HD/Lowe’s and local lumber yards. Nada. Move outside the state and it appears to be available.

I used the siding on my shed and wanted to use the trim but now I may need an alternative or a trip to Mississippi.
