I love to get inspiration for DIY projects from seeing...

    Reuse for pool machinery?

    uploading pics of the decommissioned pool machinery in my far back yard. The whole pool was filled in with cruddy rock and yellow sandy fill long before I got here 7 years ago. No water or power there now, though it'd sure be handy to have it! Might be able to restore those later. That blue...
