Do you think the price per unit is worth it?
No. It’s good but not worth that much IMO
Do the lenses have anti reflection coating on the inside to avoid self reflection? I hate seeing my own eyes in glasses.
I can’t see my eye reflection on them. That’s in a couple different lighting settings-natural and indoor. Hope that helps
We’re six days on now how are the Howlins holding up?
These are some of the most versatile sunglasses I’ve ever had. They go with and keep up with everything. Haven’t needed the strap. Good with sweat dirt and date night. Pretty sweet

alnk.to/6TA2VHR VALLON SUMMER SALE
It's in the shade of the walls of the pool. Fyi
Yes thank you. It’s been moved since the 1st video 😀 lots more sun
Super helpful as I put mine together by myself and am not great with technical instructions! Thank you!
You’re welcome!! My goal was to go through this and bring up and issues I was having in real time. I know from past experience how the instruction paper world can be different from the actual putting it together world
Yes! I live in Iowa where this is made & it’s very popular here! Better yet it’s all natural. Less chemicals than OFF plus it smells better.
We’re in Minnesota and we picked it up at the fair years ago and have been using it since. Good Iowa product! Agree-natural and smells good. We used it this weekend and during 4th of July fireworks. No bugs.
Im assuming utll get it off of walls to ?
For that I’d consider a Mr Clean Magic Eraser. I’d worry about the oils and stuff in the goo gone leaving residue/dripping
Those fireworks are so beautiful!!!
Yeah they sure are!
If more people were willing to give and help their neighbors, we would have a much better world. Looking forward to seeing your garden grow.
I TOTALLY AGREE. in fact our plan is to give away once we get it going. We do that already with our apples. Thanks. Good to hear from you! Come do s’mores with us!
Mmm cheese curds!
Yes! The original and the garlic ones!
Great video, great vibes ! Very good informative review appreciate your authenticity. They definitely look good wish I could try but they’re not where I live 😂
Right on. Thank you! I appreciate that. They are good. Next time I’m at target I plan to get some. Wish I could send some
@@DadAdventures that’s amazing and for real that would be awesome haha ! You’re most welcome😁
Thanks. We’re loading up on joyride for a Disney trip! Better (I think) than pure sugar for us and the kids
Do you have a link to your pool cover?
I do! amzn.to/3yTRBbw it’s lovely. Thanks!!
You cut this short like you were trying to feed an elementary class with a single pizza
Many elementary school kids and many “mini” pizzas. Had an assembly line! Most pizzas turned out 🤷♂️
Pizza dough should be thinner, by the time its fully cooked the top is burnt. Either that or cool is at a lower temp
Next time, I’ll do both. Thin, lessen the hydration of the dough and keep at 500-550. Bottom line too thick and too hot. Many lessons learned here
Bro slow down 😭 I can’t see wtf going on
Sorry! Yes the editing could be slower
Bro the movements and editing is too fast
Yes thank you the editing could be slower
Use less flour on the pizza tray. Too much flour burns. Keep it to a minimum
Roger that. This was corn meal. It did burn. I also had dough that I feel was too sticky. We tried to rescue it with flour and it was so so. Part of this journey is to figure out the dough aspect. This was a fast yeast recipe. I thrive in the sourdough world but am new to crust so will be trying that out soon. My goal is as homemade as possible from the crust to the toppings. Sourdough crust and garden grown veggies/sauce. Thanks!
Turn it down to 500 degrees. See how you do
Absolutely will do. The pizza towards the end was cooked cooler around 550 and did much better. Thanks!
Cream cheese? What in gods name?? You need to be using full fat, low moisture mozzarella.
Hey try before you deny. I felt that way too. I’m from the east coast but am living in Minnesota now. That’s where I met cream cheese on pizza. that’s in addition to mozzarella-as in the pizza I made here. Some next level stuff. Thanks!
@@DadAdventures Exactly do what you like, idk why people deny, if I want pineapple on my pizza it's my choice 😊
Yup. Pineapple pizza is amazing
Deep fried it
Wow
She like her bath!
She really does!
That's a awesome set-up! We have the same pool but rectangle, we have the round one. So the water is heated?
Thank you! Our pool there sprung a leak and we have a new above ground now using the same funscile sand filter. To heat the water, we use a combo of 2 solar dome heaters and a solar cover. All in all it does a god job to warm (not hot) the pool. Thanks again
Ok, she is adorable! ❤
Aww thanks. She’s outstanding
Thanks for the help. You posted this just in time! Discovered I had the same issue a week after you posted. Couldn't find any resources until your video. Found an igniter with 5 outputs and it worked...thanks again!
That’s great. I’m glad that it was helpful! It’s nice having the ignitors working. I did get a separate starter for the air fryer so now all are good to go. Thank you!
Very important milk……😂😂…tell us about the very important tit it came from
you gave me info on ingredients and made it fun! great content
No problem thank you!
I bought a used dome solar heater off marketplace and I don't have a pump. Can I just use a normal hose from the faucet in our backyard?
You maybe could. 1. The hose to the dome would need a converter to match the size of the in/out 2. It helps to have a pump to move the water through the dome 3. The water would still be about the same temp. It’s helpful to have a steady body of water that get continuously cycled through and gradually raises the temp to warmer. I bet they have pumps on market place too Let’s rig it up. This could be the ultimate pool
maybe chect the company’s website and see if they sell parts of the heater.
True
Hey great video thanks for honest opinion! Also just wanted to say please don’t place the candies on top of the bags.. they might be Dirty
Awesome thank you. Yes you’re absolutely right. Thought about it too late 😂 turned out ok though. Thanks!
Great review! Really appreciate it.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!
I would not put anything in there that you are not willing to lose. That safe will not keep your stuff safe. I can get in without touching the lock.
Ok. But what’s a guy do at the water park? Can’t bring that stuff into the water. Gotta add in some common sense. This can aide in reducing theft or at least make it harder to get after your things. I agree that people are going to do things no matter what.
how did you get it , they come out tomorrow
They did a test launch for a couple of stores before it was everywhere
Our target here in Minnesota has it. Pretty good stuff!!
looks like alot of candy per bag! not trying to snub us like chip bags! good review!
Yes-exactly! Honestly thought it’d be less. Quite a bit there. Thanks
I know this bag!
YES!! Rusty but trusty for sure!! Has survived this family can only imagine for others
Okay but how do I connect it to the pump?
CZcams SAVED my Pool Filter! czcams.com/video/eXulJz9tr2s/video.html
True story. I just made a quick video answering that. Good timing ⏱️ 👍
your inlets/outlets pipes are backwards. good luck.
yep 2 hose are supposed to be in - 1 hose out
You’re absolutely right. I looked again and see by the picture in the manual. 😖 I’ll flip the directions tonight. I really appreciate it
You are 100% right. I’ll switch it tonight
i tought you were supposed to install these after the filter.
They are. These are connected to the water outlet after the sand filter. They pick up hot water on the trip back to pool outlet (filtered)
@@DadAdventures i don't think the water is flowing the way you think it is, the water flows out of the pool on the holes labeled B and goes back in on A, the highest hole. unless you filled it up high enough so it can pick up water on "A" which is not supposed to, and you have your hoses inverted. look at the instructions.
You’re absolutely right. I looked again and see. I’ll flip the directions tonight. I really appreciate it
no prob. good luck
👍
Is at possible to turn the top hooks 180 degrees so they go through the hole before you hook it on the rail. It might hold better. Just a thought.
Yup. Was just thinking that. Going to try tomorrow so opposing weights vs same on both and will only slide lateral instead of that plus tendency to pop off. Good stuff brother. When it doubt Zip tie it
Wish we had these in 1996!
🙈🙈🙈🙈
So they kept milk frozen but not a popsicle?
Yes! We transported a large amount of breast milk from Hawaii to Minnesota (military) via UPS “overnight” and when it finally arrived it was still frozen. Honestly blown away. We were expecting spoiled honestly but no. There might be other packs out there but this is what we used (the large ones) and buddy did they work well. You can imagine the relief. That was years ago 😌 thanks
@@DadAdventures But why did the popsicle melt?
@@JimmyKay1976 I see. Good question. Probably a matter of insulation of the lunch box. The milk had styrofoam and newspaper plus the ice packs. Is a mystery.
This video was the pits. Keep up the good work.
😭😭😭😭🤣🤣 this literally made me laugh out loud thanks buddy
I've noticed in my solar heater setup, that you reach a higher temp difference when the temperature is cold on the water that goes in to the solar heater. When I use tap water (45°F), I'll get a temp of 81°F after the solar heater with clear blue sky and 73°F in outside temp. But when I use the pool water (82°F), I'll get a temp of 100°F after the heater with the same weather conditions. So the difference in rising temp with cold water is 36°F and the difference is only 18°F when I switch to the warmer pool water in the intake (?) I'm experimenting alot with different temps and with what I've learn so far, I'll bet you can heat up your pool quicker if you put your domes in parallel instead of in series. It would be interesting if you could measure the temp difference with an IR-thermometer on the hoses before the first dome, in the middle and then after the second dome to see if you get the same kind of difference in temp as I'm getting. Keep up your good work and enjoy your new filter and clean pool
That’s great. I don’t have an IR temp gauge but want one as I’m interested too. Not sure what parallel vs chain means. Also I expect the circulation of the water as heated by all sources to carry a diminishing difference in temps as things equalize but YES great stuff.
@@DadAdventures Oh, get one, they are outstanding with the instant temp measure when you experiment with pool heaters. In short, split the single hose from the pump with a Y connector and run two separate hoses to your domes. After the domes, you put another Y connector so you go back to a single hose and put that in your pool. That's a parallel connection, but separate strings might be a better word instead of parallel.
@@SolarProjectsSwedenoh I get it. I see. That’s an interesting way. I don’t have any more Y connectors now but might consider. Great stuff. Really appreciate your thoughts
Молодец. 👏 👍
Thank you
Working my way through the Joe Pickett series
It’s a good series
I’ve never read it what’s it about
Basically taking a hard look at safetyism and learning that we aren’t better off and that discomfort and resilience can be the best life teacher. There’s a bunch more in it. Good stuff
@@DadAdventures oh thx
👍
I've read this book! I've never heard anyone mention it, that was a surprise to see on my yt shorts
Yup I heard of it a little while ago. Good stuff
The latch on the handle is installed wrong but you probably know that by now 😂 or maybe you like it that way 🤷🏼♂️
Turns out didn’t need it
Nice vid
Thank you so much I hope it was helpful. Used the trimmer yesterday and works great after multiple seasons
If you scarify and loosen up that hard compact layer of soil first, it won't dry into a hard shell that the grass can't penetrate. Also mixing in some organic compost should help keep it softer. Now by far the most important if you dont do any of that, is to keep it hydrated and water 2-3 times a day until the seeds sprout.
Right on. I left this up to its own devices Thinking of doing a redo test with more control using the things you listed. Would be fun to see the difference. Currently out of seed but have lots of compost
No way that even comes close to heating a pool
Heating no. Making it a few degrees away from scary cold yes
