You guys are great! Thanks for all the responses! You gave me options I would never have considered and a couple of nurseries that aren't too far. So peaches are out...too much trouble. Mangos don't last long here. We get too many freezes for them to survive long term. Pineapple guava sounds really interesting. I did some reading on it last night. Sure wish I could try one before I invest in a plant, but I see they don't fruit here until fall. (Others rave about Surinam Cherries and I think they are AWFUL!) I'll have to do some more research on mulberries. I love berries of all kinds. I don't think she cares if it is a tree or bush, as long as it produces edible fruit. I know I like loquats and they seem to be pretty easy. We had a tree at our old house that we never did anything to and it wasn't messy either. Seffner/Brandon isn't far. I'll have to check out Dee's and Kerby's. I would really like to find a good retail nursery. Thanks again for all your input. I really appreciate it.

PoolguyNJ...Lots of questions. I will do my best. My answers are in blue What size was the rebar? Looks like its #4 with a 12" On Center grid. I honestly do not recall, but I had engineering and it met code. How many salt cells? If it's only one, I'd say it's just barely adequate if it a 40K cell. If it's larger, ever mind. I seem to remember AutoPilot's units can put out more chlorine than most other cells. I have a Pool Pilot Total Control System with a CC-15 commercial cell and an acid feed tank Does the VF take one of the loops i the spa? And the VS gets the other loop? No, the VS+SVRS does both spa loops This question is based on the the above questions answers being YES. Does the AutoPilot cell reduce it's output in spa mode? In the last picture, is the man shoveling out rebounded gunite? It looks very dry. Its not rebound but the scrapings from leveling the seats & walls The previous picture showed 3 valves that look like splice valves but aren't what I am used to seeing. Who makes them? They are waterway valves (P/N 600-2370) that I am using to adjust the sunshelf bubblers Is the fire pit getting a gas line? NO Is blue glue code? I like using clear glue when working above ground. I'm surprised the plumber didn't use rags to wipe off excess. The Inspectors did not seem to care what color glue was used. I asked, and yes clear glue and clear primer would also have been ok above ground. How much friction loss do you think you saved by using the sweep 90s? The best info I found suggested a 35% reduction in fitting head and a 10.4% reduction in system head, but the study used Long Sweep 90s that had much shorter radii than what I used, so who knows. Given the amount of space they take, would you use sweep 90s again? Well, there will never be an again for me (I hope), but the use of large pipes, large valves, and straight pipe between valves and fittings seemed to take more space than the actual sweeps. As I live on 6 acres, space was not that big of an issue Did you have a bypass installed for the heater? Your pump can push more water than it can handle. YES, there is a 3-WAY Jandy Valve (in the picture above the heater) that I will adjust to handle bypass. The bypass flow and heater output combine @ a 3" Wye fitting before the jet control valves In spa mode,, I would expect the VF to be running at capacity give the number of jets you have. It is the VS+SVRS for the spa. The valves are set up so I could use either upper (10) or lower jets (8) or both, and Yes, I expect to fully crank the pump if using both, hence, the use of sweeps, etc to get the last bit of performance as the VS tops off at 160GPM with no head. I also do not intend to often have all of the jets full open

I saw my first ruby throated hummingbird this morning....a female. She spent lots of time at the Salvia Amistad (by far her favorite), Agastache Acapulco Red, red shrimp plant and firecracker plant. My porterweed is just starting to bloom again so not much activity there. She never once used the feeder, which is fine. She has returned several times but it is too windy and dark to get good pics. Joe has never seen a hummingbird other than in print and on TV so he was truly amazed by the little gal. Now, he knows why I have been so anxiously awaiting them. Don't know if she'll stay, I hope so. Also, have Gulf Frit caterpillars on the passion vine so my garden is starting to reward me. Rhonda

Uhhh GN Builders, apparently, you are in an area where there are basements. That just isnt true in a lot of places. There are a few basements in my area, but, they are very few and very hard to find. Most houses in this area, have a foundation the correct depth into the ground, and a house is built on top of that foundation. There are vents in that foundation, and there is an opening, for a door of sorts into that crawl space. Some houses are really crawl, like belly crawl, some you can hunch over and walk under, and some like mine, you can crawl around on you knees, and not have a problem bumping your head, etc. Yes, the water lines are in that crawl space, and so are heating/coolng duct work. Some even have their hot water heater in the crawl space.The height of the crawl space, depends upon the land the house is built on. Some houses have a very high crawl space on one side, and by the time you get to the other side, it is a belly crawl. It is the way houses are built, and I am guessing, you have no experience with them.
