The automatic pool cleaners are great! We have a Hayward Tigershark robotic pool cleaner. When it is done, all I have to do is rinse out the filters, reinstall them and it’s ready for another round. This pool has an electro hydraulic system to roll the cover in and back out when swimming is done

Because of the number of pools in the area, pool maintenance companies are a dime a dozen and do the work for cheap. To have someone come weekly, treat the water and clean the pool and filter is often in the range of about $20. Much like lawn maintenance. I can get someone to cut my grass and tr

We can handle two houses, so we’ll get the new one in order, move everything, then get the old house all spiffed up and ready for sale in the spring. Paint, epoxy floor in the garage, network cabling, etc., will get done in advance before we move in. It’s in really good shape and pretty much rea
