New house = new projects. A "build" thread

I think it’s time for the cross drilled and or slotted seat.

:rofl

More updates to the house. With the temps up in the 90’s, it has been pretty overheating at the house. So I installed a custom cooling system… lol.

Wife showed up Saturday night from shopping with my mother with an 18’ soft sided pool and gave me the “Can you put this up tomorrow”… yea, FML. And as most of you know I don’t do thing half-assed. These can just be thrown down over uneven grass, but I went all out and ripped out all the grass, tilled the ground to loosen it up, and then leveled it as much as possible (only had a 4ft level and no boards to extend it). End up after all was said and done only being about 1" difference… which is pretty damn good if I say so myself.

Once it was filled (took almost 24 hours to fill) I went around and put down some basic play sand to provide a border around the pool where grass won’t grow and I’ll be able to keep the mower away from the pool. Thought 20 bags was going to be enough but not quite. Still need about another 20-30 bags to finish the border.

put some stone down around the pool so you dont track all the sand down. the Faux bluestone would make a nice border.

I’m going to do stone eventually but for now I’m just going to throw down a small bucket of water to rinse fee before jumping in.

ummmm… fencing required. yup… sorry… Its NYS law… water over 24" deep… you need an approved pool fence… around the entire pool…safety latches, etc etc… not just some basic chain link shit. Colonie is always stopping at people homes to inform them… Dont want to be judged by a jury in a dead baby case. Insurance may not cover in case of an incident.

I know, Fawk!

Other than that…nice.

This x1000.

Need a fence, Colonie gets a hard on for stopping at houses and fucking people over.

They don’t need to go stop by, just walk across the street since a Colonie cop Kenny used to work with at Circiut Shitty lives right there LOL

Umm, Cop or Code Officer? Very Different training!

Keep electing liberal democrats, they will make more even laws and codes.

Everything we read says that the pool itself can act as the 48" barrier. So since the pool is over 48"barrier as long as we secure the ladder (remove it each time after use) it is within code.

Fucking retarded codes

Stupid rules…LMK when you need help putting up a fence Kenny LOL

Correct, code enforcement not cops.

EG has 4 of these MFers that get paid bank to drive around and fuck everyone over.

Colonie has about a dozen between commercial and res. , and they don’t cover the village. But… many many many pools dont meet the standard and no one bothers them. I’m more concerned about what happens to Kenny if some kid dies in there. Insurance will fight that payoff. No permit, no barrier, no notice to company that a pool was installed.

Well I will be informing the insurance company and getting an exact measurement to the top of the pool to give them the required information. I could be completely wrong here, but I didn’t think a permit was required on these soft sided pools because no actual contruction, digging, etc is required. They are more similar to a kiddy pool than a true pool…

What happens to Kenny is all his buddies come over with shovels and some lime. No kid, no problem. :thumb :thumb :thumb

Ehh… a meter man might find the body.

You have obviously never seen the size of Kenny’s backyard…LOL

exactly.

Or the 120+ acres of wetlands behind it… lol
