A fellow DIYer and amateur woodworker I like working on home projects when I'm not sitting in front of a computer.

How can I efficiently heat a pool? I live in a hot southern climate so that probably wouldn't work . . . although there is a bit of overlap where I'm cooling the house still and wish the pool were just a bit warmer. I'll run into that show eventually . . . I watch TOH and Ask TOH I'm just really behind! |

How can I efficiently heat a pool? Might be an old question but I'm still wondering. Most suggest to add what is essentially black tubing to my roof and that should "extend the season" but won't keep the pool warm in the winter. And it's not exactly "free" since you have to pay to pump the water up there and even with a variable speed pump it's probably the second or third biggest user of electricity for a homeowner. "People with experience" say that using gas to heat a pool, even for a weekend, costs nearly $100 even in a mild winter climate like in Phoenix, AZ. I've concluded we aren't swimming in winter! |

How do I compensate for the sun confusing my garage door opener's sensors? Just in time for this to drive me crazy again! I'll try that out. |

Should I fix my swimming pool with plaster or a clorinated rubber? From what I understand old pools have longer lasting plaster (because of the hazardous materials that were used that are now outlawed) so it's best to keep it around for as long as you can. |

How can I diagnose my fridge's evaporator fan? Any chance it's just the fan motor? I had a dead one on a brand new refrigerator. |

How can I efficiently heat a pool? Late but a good answer. I want to do solar but a friend of mine said it wasn't worth it on his pool (though, maybe he just didn't run it right). There is some cost involved to run it since you have to pump the water though the array. Only thing I don't like is I don't know if I want that kind of weight on my roof! |

How can I efficiently heat a pool? Quickly heating and cooling the concrete could cause cracks would be my guess. |
