Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Default My New Pool Landscape:

Got rid of over 100 Areca palm trees that were messy as hell and decided to do something simple. Now I need a truckload of mulch.

I have two sets of dual Robellini palms and two Sylvester Palms, the rest are Bromeliads and Agave varieties that I had laying around, I pulled some from a house I'm selling that the buyer didn't want and some from my mother's place. I have a pallet of red mulch coming in at 0900 tomorrow with 70 bags. I lifted a wheelbarrow yesterday with 450 lbs of marble rocks and my back is almost out, I've got plenty of beer if anyone wants to come help tomorrow....

I'm looking for easy maintenance landscape...I'm getting old.

They're nice looking plants. Careful you don't bust your pucker string.

The fence is new, the pool is not, but it was refinished a couple years ago

I'll post a picture of the whole thing once it's all done.

Where the hell are you RTO? Fred said we can work for beer.
I love Cuban food to, we have to talk nice to his pretty wife.
Fred what kind of mulch will you be putting down? Think? other than cedar chips, insects love that mulch.

That's what insecticide was made for.

I'm done, all 70 bags laid with weed blocker underneath. My back is a gonner tonight. Advil to the rescue.

Looks purdy, pics will follow later, it's too dark outside.

Nope. I got some cutting from a tree up in RTO's AO but the heat killed them. Now I have no place for one and I can't have it close to the pool, the roots are quite invasive.
