POOL REMODEL

You think we would have learned to not do any more projects around this place .  .  . BUT  .  .  .
the pool had a leak. And the leak led to finding a bunch of places where the 30 year old pool is crumbling and leaking under the patio. And so the snow ball starts to roll !
Thirty years ago we had a leak in the bathroom of our house in Miller Place and ended up adding an entire second floor to the house. We are dangerous to say the least once we put our mind to home repairs. The window fiasco was just one of the many adventures we have had with our lovely Florida home so I can only imagine what we will run into with the pool. But the time has come to fix up the old pool and make it look new. We will empty it tonight and tomorrow the work will begin on taking off all the old tile, sand blasting the sides and bottom, putting on new tile, resurfacing the pool, putting in new railings and ladder, and putting in a new pump and filter. What could possibly go wrong?
The patio surface will have to wait because we just can't afford to do the whole job all at once. But the colors are planned so hopefully within a year the entire pool area will have a make over. All Ger and I have to do is live another 100 years so we'll get to enjoy all these changes.

  2. I love seeing old pools get a refurbished touch. It is amazing how something considered lost can suddenly seem irreplaceable in a matter of days with the right crew. I would love to be apart of something like this from the start to the finish.
