You guys must of taken classes at one time on making content and editing. Fun, good entertainment, humorous and informative. By the way from my experience with boats if you attach anything to the pool be careful of the disimular metal thing if you use screws or bolts. Stainless will react with steel causing a corrosion point.

Hey Andrew, we are on county land where there are no specific restrictions against it, so we’ve been able to hide in broad daylight. Many city regulations do prohibit it so we focused our search outside city borders. Always take into account the cost to install utilities if you are considering vacant land. Other than that… maybe plant some fast growing trees? Good luck! 😎

Really like the simplistic pool, I wanted to add some insight. Your pool is very small you might only need to run your pump for five to six hours. Three things that you need to worry about your water is alkalinity, PH and Chlorine. You keep those within the recommendation you’ll be good. Also get a small nylon brush that keeps the algae from forming. Also saw this skimmer which is awesome to pick up any debris kzread.infoQhaVMJ66KME?feature=share Take care and good luck with your projects.

So you have to add muriatic acid to reduce the ph. But, you also have to add baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, or whatever) to raise the alkalinity. This has the side effect of raising the ph, so you have to add more acid. I don’t get it. Maybe that’s just my pool. Lol. Have fun!
