My misting system finally works! Check out these pics

[DILLIGAF]

When I bought the house the builder told me the misting system in the ground would not work and they weren't going to fix it. So, I never did anything about it until my gardner was here and I asked him about it. He said he could fix it for me. He did and didn't even charge me anything. I can't wait to use this as the weather starts heating up. Kind of looks like a scary movie :)

for the man who has everything.

[SummerBreeze]

WOW it's a jungle out there

[DILLIGAF]

lol...not nearly everything :)
I just think these pics look very cool. I took them a few minutes ago

[Garrddogg]

Tom all I can say is wow! sure looks nice.

[DILLIGAF]

Thanks......I wonder how much MORE water I will be using with this damn thing....lol

[DILLIGAF]

WOW it's a jungle out there
I am going to cut back some of the plants. I have these kind of puff balls type plants that are going to go. I have already removed a lot of flowers and so forth.

[DILLIGAF]

For some strange reason I want to yell out:
"I'M AL GORE BIACH!"
lol

[charlyox]

Sweet. Just in time. It is starting to get a little warm in the BHC.

[INSman]

Do you know how many pumps and what HP each ??

[GRUNION]

I think that is a bit overkill. But it sure will be nice on a hot day. Nice yard too.

[burtandnancy2]

Are you using a booster pump or just city water pressure? If city, what kind of nozzles are they?

[DILLIGAF]

There is a pump and I do not know how much HP it is. It is about the size of a small mini-fridge.
Overkill? Ya, probably so but as it warms up it will evaporate a lot quicker. It is only about 65 here right now.
I just keep turning it on to check it out visually.....lol
Thanks for the compliment Grunion. I am at some point taking those palm trees off the island, dig down about 3 feet, put in a bar, a bridge to get to it and cover it with one of those palupas or whatever they are called. The thatch roof thing. If done right while sitting in there your head should be just above water level, while you face towards the sunset with a cold drink :)

[GRUNION]

NP one day I will have a yard like that:D Right now my yard is full of cars and boats.

[RitcheyRch]

Looks like a fog bank but still very cool.

If I can make a fog bank when it is 120 outside I am sure visitors will really appreciate it :)

[KREGER]

[spectras only]

Cool Tom ! Are your party quests carry radars with them to avoid bumping into each other ? :) :D

[H20Advantage]

Very cool looking too

[BadKachina]

That is really nice. The high pressure system works so much better.
How the hell do you skin and trim those palm trees without getting it all in your pool?
Beautiful backyard BTW.

[burtandnancy2]

D, I met the man who invented the hi-pressure mister systems down in Palm Springs about 20 years ago. Since then I bought one for our home in Boulder City. Wasn't as large a system as yours, used about a 1/2 hp motor and the pump put out about 1800 psi. Since then, everyone has something that works on city water pressure and they are just OK. Under 100 degrees outside, things tend to get wet, but as you said, when its 120, your won't be able to keep people away...

[Phat Matt]

Nice!
I think we might have to come visit your house again. :)

[BajaMike]

Looks cool Tom....wonder when I'll be invited back.....LOL
I like the idea of the bar on the island....sounds good.....like a little Tiki bar out there.
:idea:

Thanks...I had them skinned once and will later on this year again. yes, it is messy but the pool is self cleaning plus I have a pool guy come by once a week. The pool is always crystal clear.

[boatnam2]

[DILLIGAF]

They have been known to visit from time to time :)

[DILLIGAF]

Post some night-time pics, Tom....what's the temp out there today??
:D
About 80 or so with tomorrow a little warmer. Light winds...perfect IMO :)

[OCMerrill]

Very cool yard Tom. That misting system is tha Bomb right there. You will keep everyone happy when its 118 outside.
When I saw the palm trees on that Island...looks very cool but even better to read your going to take them out. I can see years down the road their root systems messing with your pool.:idea:

[ahhell]

are you sure thats mist???
looks more like a Cheech and Chong movie
Find any more 'lobsters'
dammit Im still laughing/crying:D

Thanks. Realistically I know those palm roots will eventually break thru the walls. Better to do some "preventative maintenance" and do something that I really want there rather than be forced to do something down the road.

That was a lot of fun last night. Good to see you again. I don't think I am making it this AM though :(...........

[DILLIGAF]

Tom, that is beautiful!
Thanks T :).
Hope things are well on your end. Hung out with Matt/Deb last night and we had a good time with lots of laughter.

[phebus]

Nice, when you want the party to end, you just turn on the tear gas. :D
Did the system come with the "siren" CD you insert, do really get them running? :)

[DILLIGAF]

lol....You and Phat Matt are always thinking out of the box. I think I may just have to try this one :)

[SHOTKALLIN]

Looks like the amazon

[AZKC]

Dam thats a cool setup :D I know we use our misters alot. Funny the city wants to ban them because of water usage. Focking Government never seems to get it.

[Debbolas]

LMAO!!!:D
OMG!! That is cool :D
(thanks for the wine, where were YOU Sun?);)

[DILLIGAF]

After I left your place I was going straight home. Got some gas and headed into the casinos. Made quite a few dollars but didn't get home till 4AM. I did leave you guys a message. Ended up lounging by the pool and cleaning up stuff at the house. Plus with the wind picking up in the PM I don't think I would want to be on Mohave in the Spectra.
I hope my language wasn't too bad around the kids. I had a fun time laughing :)

[Cole Trickle]

Cool Backyard!!
I think the BBQ/Bar in teh center of the pool with a 4 post Palapa would be awesome. I would probably never launch if I could chill in the back yard.:D :eek:
Can you set the misters up on a timer so they go off every 10 minutes or so?

[SHAKE-YO-AZZ]

so when is the party

I didn't even think about your language :jawdrop: It was great to see you :D The lake was better Sunday than Saturday :D We cruised around a bit and then headed in. Got stuck in a monster traffic jam in the Cajon Pass :( on the way home.

Glad I didn't offend anybody :).
That is why I left early Sunday AM. I hate the friggin' traffic with a passion.

[andy01]

Tom nice job man, it turned out great.
BTW I leave early on Sundays also, the traffic is just a killer at 2 pm on the 91 or anyother way back in this place. I leave earlier then most, I am usaully on the road by 6 on Sundays if not a bit earlier. It's that no drinking thing.......Christina isn't always happy about the early leave though :D

Thanks....I don't sleep out there anyhow so I might as well do something. Driving home is doing something, right?
:)

[nodigg]

NICE!
Now stop playing with that thing so you don't break it before the Laughlin run!
