Today's projects
 
I drilled a couple of really slick custom pool covers. It was nice working outside today without sweating my a$$ off.

This pool is in Newtown. It took 5 hours to install this one.

This one is in Meadowbrook. An old pool in really good condition.

After drilling all of the anchors and winterizing the pools, I'm finally home tippin' back some Dogfish Head Pumpkin Brew...good stuff.

Fire and beer, good combo.

Nice work on the pool covers by the way. If I am ever fortunate enough to have nice big inground pool, you'll be sure to get my business.

WOW verrrryyy nice.

How do you do them "custom"?? Just measure, lay, pin, etc etc??

WOW! That pumpkin brew got to me. I didn't eat much of anything yesterday, then I put down 5 brews....I just woke up on the wood floor in front of the woodstove. I must be turning into a lightweight.

It involves measuring perimeter points from two different locations. The cover manufacturer then takes those measurements and produces the cover. Then, I spread the cover over the pool and drill/install the anchors. I managed to sell 17 covers this year:banana:

Lightweight and poolmike in the same sentence are two things i never thought i would see.

its not even 10am yet, im at work, and i just saw the glass of beer... this is going to be a long day.

nice work! My dad had that type of cover installed last year. It is a real workout getting those hooks on the anchor. They provided us with a nifty little metal rod that slips the ring onto the peg.
