Glad you all enjoyed the infographic. Below is a link to the daily Infographic site. The one that always trips me up is "well" and "good". As in "How are you?" "I'm doing well." or is it "I'm doing good."? My daughter corrects me every time and it never sinks in which is the correct word. So I just say "I'm doing okay." :-) In high school my DD corrected her English teacher a few times, often pointing out that the questions on quizzes were not phrased properly. And she was nearly always right. We thought for sure DD was going to be reprimanded or something but it never happened. We were just relieved when the school year was over and the teacher was behind us. Then the next year, she came home complaining that she had the same teacher, this time for History. Oh, no! When I checked with her a few days later to see how it was going, she told me she was the best History teacher ever ... because that's what her degree was in, not English. Turns out the school just stuck the teacher into the English slot to get her into the school until the History class opened up. By the end of her senior year, my daughter was such good friends with the English/History teacher that she lived at the teacher's home for two weeks and watched her son and two dogs while the teacher was on her honeymoon.

Having 1 1/2" pipes is the correct method for all inlets into the pool. Your really in a great position now, Don't glue the female adapters on to the 2" pipe, use the part number Reno suggested and use a 215-9150 for your 5 in the pool., this should be an 1 1/2" slip socket x 1 1/2" female thread (both white color) I don't use their products so I'm not intimate with the product line or part numbers, hopefully he'll see this thread and point you to the right part number if I'm wrong. Once your plaster applicator places these you can use standard wall inlets which come in differing sizes Here are the profiles and sizes A- sidewinder for flat surface returns on a sunshelf B- 3/8" opening directional eyeball for walls C- 1/2" " " " " " D- 3/4" " " " " " E- 1" " " " " spa wall These are industry standard eyeballs in a variety of colors, you can also get wall fitting to fit both of your pipe sizes in the same colors too. Just look at the same profile wall fittings on his linked chart and change the part number to the right color. Your not in any trouble at all since you didn't glue the female adapters on the pipes yet. On the vac fitting for the wall I'd plumb it to a 3/4 hp booster pump assisted pressure side pool sweep plumbing it off of the pool return pipe, when you want to use your manual vacuum your best served going to the rear port of your skimmer for this job description. I'm no fan of a suction side pool sweep like the 340 or a non assisted pressure sweep like the 360. A Polaris 280 or a Letro (Pentair) Legend booster assisted pool sweep are worth their weight in gold. Just my .02 on pool sweeps. And, trust me, I never call the novice homeowner contractors knuckleheads or boneheads. I just enjoy the laugh they gave me when I looked at or read about what they've done. Your really in a sweet spot, all you need is wall fittings and a plaster contractor. Post some pic's for us to enjoy, if I see something out of the norm I'll point it out without pointing a finger. I just had to ask who placed the pipe, LOL!!! And somehow I knew the answer before you delivered it. See ya, Kelly

Here in North Dakota it's open season for coyotes year round. You can shoot or trap them as needed. We have a local pack that comes closer to town in the winter; I love to hear them howling but they will kill cats and smaller dogs. We have our yard fenced, my dogs are huge hunters but indoors most of the time. The open "prairie", thousands of acres of fields and tree lines all around the town, give them plenty of room and prey to hunt away from us. Still, I almost fell over a small female coyote last winter. I was stepping off the front porch, taking some trash out to the bin late at night; she had apparently caught some critter and was eating it by the steps. I nearly stepped on her in the dark. We both jumped and yelped. She grabbed the carcass and ran off with me in hot pursuit. I didn't want her to feel too welcome, but I didn't want to shoot her without provocation, either. I think she had been tossed out of the pack. I'd hear the pack howling a long distance off, and she'd be at the end of our block (which is the end of the town and the beginning of the back of beyond) whimpering and howling. After a month or so she was gone; I hope she found a new pack. Anytime I go out after dark now I knock on the door, stomp my feet on the deck and make enough noise that the critters can slink off into their invisible mode.

@Lisa G If you spoke to Mapei im sure they told you self leveler over a wood structure is risky. especially when using it to level. There are very strict minumum or "feather edge" concers with self leveler and if by saying " mesh " you are likely referring to " 2.5 Lath (synthetic or galvanized) its very tough to terminate that with a feather edge. It usually requires a deeper pour or Lift to encapsulate the lath and meet mapei's mimimum thickness requirements " While terminating leveler anywhere in the field of the floor. ( or perhaps they are referring to bridging board seams with sheet mesh as well..) mapei does make a few different levelers as i recall. Regardless. You have a bigger issue in either busted joists, crowned cantileavers, or a sil plate, support beam issue etc. and that needs to be dealt with properly FIRST. simply jacking the floor up at low spots im affraid is not always the fix. At times we have to completetly remove all subflloring down to the joist themselves and plane down joists, cantieavers etc while also sistering and raising other settled joists. This can also involve failed footings, CMU issues rotted sil plates etc. ( i am not looking at youre homes structure here). Everything Cancork said about Mapei and OSB OSB OSB is very true and remember that self leveler used over a deflective substrate still requires a properly installed and deflection rated substrate to work and it does not like feather egdging at all over wood as it is a great point of possible cracking/bonding/failure. I would suggest getting a lot of stuff in writing and document things with a lot of pictures of both under the home @ post/beams/joists & cantileavers and sil plates/foundation/cmu. In wood structured homes the best subfloor/substrate you can apply is EXP1 APA exterior glue plywood, double layered at 1/2 or 5/8" layers cross grain, glued and screwed and this is likely what mapei will tell you. For floating and wood floors you can at times get by with a single 3/4" layer (structure permitting) as well you need to be sure all and every board seam being properly perimiter and cross blocked. Self leveler is great in the right scenario, but remember its not being used to add strength ,(the lumber and plywoobut are) but the leveler is only there to level out an ALREADY sound and properly prepared subfloor/substrate and it is ADDING more WEIGHT to youre joist system and substrates deflection.. sorry for the long winded typos, a subject near and dear to every flooring guy/gal!!! My free advice learned over years THE HARD way, the kick in the shins hard way!!. The thing about what we do is we learn immensly by failures, and tearing apart homes to see exactly what works over time and what doesnt. as well as staying on top of constantly changing industry standards and practices. Cancork included. Perhaps you have an excellent builder, still tread lightly with levelers over lumber and try to find the structural cause of the out of level floor.- best
