New Build Questions in Kansas City
Comments (3)P.S. The sales guy said that the gunnite crew would be able to get the shape back to the original form, even though the replacement steel is off. They would also be able to spray the swim out/sun deck/grotto step-bench/deep-end walls with all the empty space from where the soil used to be on the outside of the rebar. I've seen other builders on here using steel sheets to maintain the form. My PC has done dozens of pools and I've never built one, just want to keep my expectations in check....See MoreSouth Dakota new build question

Doesn't mean you can't do it with single speed but performance is much better with 2 speed. If the furnace you are matching to a 2 speed condenser is not variable speed it will not achieve rated efficiency and in some cases may not work properly or take away from options that the system was ultimately designed for such as better dehumidification features....See MoreNew Build Plumbing Question
Comments (4)Personal opinion: a fine DIY solution. It likely will not give you any trouble for a long time, and when it does, it will be fairly easy to service. Not acceptable for a professional. This is like having a builder install a faulty outlet and throwing you a few extension cords to solve the problem. A plumber screwed up somewhere in the walls, maybe teed off a cold instead of a hot by mistake, and your builder doesn't want to fix it the right way because it will be a huge pain to trace the mistake back to the source. Not your problem....See MoreEric Rollins
