As the title states, if you have fore features do you use them (beyond the initial honeymoon period)
We still have a punch list for our pb to complete (while he has not sent someone he does at least still respond that he plans to
)
This has left my brain to process all the additional stuff that could be done while the project is incomplete. One item left on the punchlist is for the completion of the French drain behind the 36" rbb at the back of the pool. Since this trench is not filled and will need to be additionally cleaned out/dug out due to the rains we have had I am contemplating running a gas line to facilitate addition of 1 or 2 fire bowls. I have already gone down the research rabbit hole and determine that 1 could be added (diy) for under $500 all in. We had a 1.5" propane line run to a future BBQ island so I have a relatively easy path to connect to that. The propane is 2 stage with a high pressure regulator at the tank then a low pressure regulator at each fixture which gives me well over 1m btu capacity.
As a secondary component of that potential project, though at a much increased cost, also have additional 120v wire run that I could easily add automatic ignition thru our intellicenter. I'd be curious to see if those that have fire features use the more when they can be automatically started versus needing to open a valve and manually light.
