What to do about different fixture finishes?
Comments (7)Oops, didn't mean to post that link twice. Well I thought about it some more and it makes more sense to source different accessories - TP holder, towel bars, robe hook, and possibly shower curtain rod, than it does to replace the faucets. I had a heck of a time finding a shower curtain rod (mine's an L shape) so I don't know if I'll be able to swap that out. The accessories shouldn't be as hard I hope. Kohler does not make the Purist line in brushed chrome though (why!?!??) so it will have to be a different brand......See MoreHow much darker will enhancer make grout?
Comments (1)Enhancer will definitely make the grout darker, but it varies depending on the grout. The best thing to do is make up a sample board before you commit....See MoreBrushing a pool-Does it make a difference?
Comments (11)And extending on what Lindsey said, buy a small round corner brush to attach to your pole, to get the plaster dust out of the crevices around benches, steps, etc, where the large brush can't reach. It makes a huge difference. I had one for my spa (when it was curing for the 2nd and third time) but not one for the pool. In those crevices by the pool steps that the big brush couldn't get to very well there is white buildup that does not come off now. It's plaster dust that's cured into the finish. All of the crevices in the spa are dust-free and super-smooth thanks to that little corner brush. The first week or so (while the water is clearing) it's critical to brush every time you think about it. After that, once a week is fine. Those first few days, the more you brush, the nicer your plaster will be for the long-term....See MorePowdered eggshells.....do they really make a difference
Comments (24)We actually have one (from that recall list)... however, looking at ours I think someone would have to have a heck of lot of eggshells to be able to use it to powder 'em up. I have a VitaMix that requires like at least 10 or more to use effectively so anymore I just take the few I get and put them into a baggie and crunch 'em with a rolling pin and call it good. It ain't powder but I just don't have the time or patience to do it right....See Morekevinb
