They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Can we get our colleagues to post pictures of interestig repairs or unusal situations? I think it would be helpful.

One that comes to mind is an "overlay". I personally have never hears of it and I am not alone,

I love the photo idea! It is easy to attach a photo to your message, below the message box is the Attachment Box where you can attach photos, VERY IMPORTANT: you will have to limit the photo size, the attached photo below is 564 x 423 pixels ( 111kb file) in prior posts, photo files as big as 200 kb have been OK

The only time I have heard "overlay" used it was describing a snap-on pipe fitting that can be glued over a leaking pipe

On to the photo of the day:
Last season I got to operate this Hydrazzo polishing tool to remove stains caused by the fill water running down the length of the pool as they slowly filled the new pool with a garden hose, it was kind of like riding on a floor polisher underwater

great idea, will post some photos soon

Customer sent me this picture of the top step of his 2 year old pool
He wanted to hear that the liner was defective, he confirmed my suspicion that he uses "floaters", chemical tab floaters in his pool. and that they often got stuck on the top step. The chemical feeder sitting on the step ruined the vinyl, no defect, the pool liner installer never mentioned not using floaters on lay-over liner stair pools.

Photo of the week!!

pinhole leaks eaten through Flex-Pipe by termites

Believe it or not, I have found new flex hose still in wrap with the same the exact same holes. I sent a piece back and they said it is a factory defect.
