The Biggest Pool Trend for 2024 | Catherine Arensberg
People say bigger is better, but would you believe that the hottest pool trend for 2024 is a SMALLER body? Known as a cocktail pool or splash pool, these micro water features are perfect for entertaining adults who love to sit and have a glass of wine water side. Cocktail pools are also far more budget friendly than traditionally sized pools and fit nicely into even the smallest of back yard spaces. I, for one, and excited for spending less on install and maintenance being en vogue - call your local pool contractor to get started on your own splash pool today!

Most of us don't build new homes. We move in to existing homes where previous homeowners have made it their own, and sometimes that means they spent a lot of money on something that you would never have done if you'd had the choice. But guess what? Now it's YOUR home and it's time to make it YOURS. Allow me to give you permission to remove that thing you know the last owner possibly spent a lot...

Beautiful
Why not use a latex primer
I need help? lol...I have a lake house with Tando Beech house shake (product) cedar shakes in a color called Hattaras . Our trim is all white.....Im having a hard time figuring out a good color for my door. Can you suggest a SW color?
My mother is 87 years old and we live in Mississippi, she says that another reason to paint them blue is because it keeps birds from nesting and wasp and dirt dobbers out from under your porches. Makes it look like the sky.
What type of soil is recommended to plant in a pot ?
Great idea that saved my new project!!!
Music was unnecessary and did not add to the content. However, I didn't know about these and will try them out. Thanks!
Are you still happy with your oyster quartz pool plaster selection? We live in WI and going trying to select our pool plaster color in the next couple weeks.
Genius! Thank you.
I live in a subdivision whose "mature trees" is/are part of its appeal, so the bylaws state that we can not cut down any tree over a certain height without approval. We are surrounded by water oaks that have been here since the 80s. During Ida, something like 15% of the homes here got a water oak through the roof. We are due for many more.
Can tray be a plastic one?
Beautiful, perfect ornament to go around the house in containers 😍
I have these faint brown stains on my inground saltpool plaster, despite brushing daily and vacuuming often. Not sure what the stains are. Walls don't have it but floors do. Chemicals are all well balanced. Pool is only 18 months old. Someone please help me with advice.
Does this Diamond Brite plaster as well seals the pool if there is any existing leaks? Thanks
back in the late 60's people used to have it hanging off the antenna to prove they went to Florida
You kidding me are you serious theirs a huge difference on prices
That looks terrible, Jeremy. Let’s think of ways to not harm the tree AND beautify the area, Jeremy.
So....your contractor didn't tell you how to care for your new surface?
I'm deciding if going with Cool Blue from Diamond Bright or Aqua Blue from NPT. Hearing the experience in this video, is there something related to Diamond Bright materials that will help me on my decision to go with NPT?
Same here. Our plaster pool need to be resurfacing/redone in general since it's old and chipping.
Hello dear what size tab is that
Name of pump please?
It's not Diamondbrite it was the installers who did a poor job. I've never heard of using a steel brush on the finish. They were supposed to use the acid wash after installing the plaster and that's it...
Are they removable
Is this the same as little lime? I noticed it called it Dwarf LIttle Lime so I want to make sure these aren't two different kinds. I saw a video of where little lime is huge like 5 ft.
Where can we buy this?
You said what I thought. Blessings.🙏
I will also use a dollop of urethane (supper tough glue when cured)because I'm mounting a broom rack. I will drill a hole in each brick clip and mount them to the rack. I'll squeeze a few drops out of my caulking gun and clip it to the wall. I suppose I can send a picture later. Thanks for the idea👍. I'm m sure I will be happy with the results. I know how spring steel works, and this is what I want. Never heard of those clips until 10 minutes ago 😌👍 thanks
My crape myrtle does not bloom. What do I do?
First put the pump fill the water and then the top with the rocks for me was easier this way thanks for ur idea 👍
Does the chain rattle every time there is a breeze or does the material muffle it?
I agree with using metal edging; however my plastic edging has not become brittle in over 20 years.
Can't add weights...I have white sheers. It would pull the rod down. Smh I'm getting white thumb tacks and putting them at the bottom of each panel adhering to the wood deck. It's the only thing that works. Nothing else works. With high winds on a steep hill, save yourself aggravation, just use white hair clips to clip up top directly on rod or a few matching zip ties and thumb tacks. I'm done trying to figure this out.
Just had my pool gunite last year now walls are rough
Brushed for 2 week twice a day my robot is picking up white chalk
What did you do with your rough plaster
Question, I am painting my bricks in my sunroom. Would I have that same problem if I get special paint for bricks. Thank you for sharing. God bless.
How heavy is your chain? It seems like it would do some damage if a strong gust of wind came and the chain wasn't heavy enough, and the curtains blew around with the chain in it.
You also don't want it to be too heavy for the rod you put the curtains on. Although I want to try this I have to make sure the whole thing doesn't end up more than 15lbs.
Thank you
Nicely done. I’ve made multiple fountains. The hardest thing to do is figuring out a tray to fit in the planter and be able to hold the weight of the rocks then hiding the cord.
Great video! For a small driveway with a gravel, should i a use a landscape fabric? And if yes, what type is better? I'm trying to separate my neighbors grass lawn with a nice looking edged gravel landscape. Thanks
Always ask for a man when getting advice!🤣
Instead of topping it off with water manually, if you have a drip irrigation system you can run a drip line to the pot and put the right size emitter to fill the pot with the appropriate level of water. Where I live summer reaches around 95-105 degrees and I use a 5 gallon emitter for 20 minutes 3 times a week and that’s perfect for the summer time for a container that is approximately 75 gallons and 28” at the opening as an example. You can play with emitter size and duration to dial yours in. Pro Tip- if you have a newer irrigation system most are comparable with a solar sinc sensor which adjusts the duration on all water stations based on temperature and if it rained recently. While this is mainly to conserve water and prevent overwatering sensitive plants it also adjusts the amount of water filling my containers. I have 1 large fountain out front and a few in the backyard with bog plants and fish
Thanks so much for the video and ideas.What a great idea🎉
Ya need to change video title to "How to talk about replastering a pool when someone else does it".... bad video, uninformitave, bull 💩 title.
Polaris and Dolphin are brands, not specific pieces of equipment. Each brand has lots of different pool cleaners.
This 100% is user error. The metals came from either the water truck or your piping if you filled it with your own water. Brushing the pool is recommended twice a day for the first two weeks. Those stains were either hydration (lack of brushing and high PH) or metals (lack of water maintenance) Your installer should have given you instructions. And they should have polished the pool with a diamond pad. You brushing it with a metal brush is a huge mistake.
Oh, and very impressive trigger finger.
Great job
Thank you for watching.
The host is so humble and personable. Very refreshing.
Thank you for watching.
Looks like an 8 year old filmed this, actually my 6 year old knows how to focus the camera on the activity. Delete and do it over. 🫣
Have y’all had problems turning the tv because of the remote signal issue?
Hi, Ive just washed the ceiling of my outdoor porch ceiling with bleach to kill the mildew. I painted the ceiling last year with a collar I mixed up myself and have very little left (not enough to repaint the entire ceiling). What are your thoughts on applying the M-1 diluted with water? I thought is to use the entire container with 3/4 gallon of water and using a sponge roller. Thoughts?
