		<description><![CDATA[The rototiller I have is many years old.  I&#8217;m not sure how old but it was manufactured in Europe (BCS) and apparently the company has updated all their designs from this model.  It&#8217;s a great rototiller when it starts but when it doesn&#8217;t, well it&#8217;s a pain. I finally figured out the exact starting order [...]]]></description>

It was the mid June and it was starting to be warmer during the days down here. Nothing like August, but enough that it was noticeable. I started out by running water into the pool [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once the concrete was removed it was time to dig down behind the pool. On the bright side, you know exactly how far down you have to dig and any water there was draining out through the leak that had allowed it all to get in making the ground quite dry. I hadn&#8217;t thought to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The wheel couldn&#8217;t quite reach the deepest sections of the concrete pad, but it got close. Once that was done, I started into concrete removal. The right tool here is a jack hammer. This tool is quite expensive though and I didn&#8217;t feel like spending even more money at the rental place. Looking back, I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Draining a pool is easy. You have a pump that is designed to move water and when set properly, it sends it to drain. Surrounding the pool is a concrete sidewalk. This is pretty standard for many pools and as long as you never want to remove it, isn&#8217;t a problem. If you do want [...]]]></description>

A quick check and there was one flat head screw that seemed like the obvious choice. There were also 12 other screws that concerned me. I considered the possibility [...]]]></description>

The installation instructions for the roofing product list that you should be 24-36 inches on center for your supports with no further details. Due to the pre-existing header, I [...]]]></description>
