Good morning Vermont and FTE land. Have a productive hump day. Suppose to be some rain today. Be nice if this afternoon is rain free so I can mix up some concrete and pour the cap on the retaining wall.

Good morning Jim and the rest of you Vermont woodchuck wannabees. We're headed over the hump and into a bit of wet weather so get your galoshes out.

Jim, concrete cures better with a little water so get out there and start mixing it up. How is that pool project coming along? Bet the water is fairly cool - these 40 degree nights cool the pool down real quick, even with a cover. Next purchase? A pool heater!!!

Hi Shawn. I know concrete likes water to cure but kind of takes away from its durability with too much mixed in. Plus I have a couple sloped steps in it so need to keep the mix a little stiff

If look at the temp history for July you can see when we got the pool filled. Temps took nose dive and have been below average. So every is welcomed for the cooler weather. LOL

Our experience with a solar cover for our pool was very good. Keep it on when the sun is shining and only take it off when the pool is in use. Will extend the season by a month and keep the pool a lot warmer.

I figured you'd know concrete being an AOT guy but couldn't resist pushing a bit - you won't melt in a little rain.
