Pool Remodel - Part 3

The pool is being replastered today! Woo hoo!! I'm at work, and when I return home this evening, the plaster should be in and the refilling should be on its way. I am so excited to have our pool back - it's been hot here! Yesterday, I was taking some items out to the alley behind our house for bulk trash pick up. I wore sunscreen, a hat, and glasses, and my freckles on my cheeks still popped out. Eeeeesh ... what's a girl to do?

Stay tuned for part 3 pics!

Pool Remodel Part 2

We came back from our vacation on Saturday, June 16, to find some progress in the pool remodel. They put in the new tile, and our waterfall feature to the left of the bench is in place! Now all they have to do is plaster it! Woo hoo! Stay tuned!

Pool Remodel Part 1

Here you can see the remodeling of the pool has begun! In the first picture, we had just drained the pool. Note the dried brown algae on the bottome of the pool. On the steps, you can see the missing chunks of plaster. Imagine those chunks missing all over the pool! Stay tuned for Part 2!

Our Pool - Before

Here are a couple pictures of our pool before we started the remodel. The previous owners did an amazing - and enigmatic - job at keeping it crystal blue during the sale of the house. A week after we moved in, it was a lovely algae green reminiscent of the Mead family above-ground pool we had in Riverside, CA, for a time. Yuck! The dark spots on the bottom of the pool are rust spots from the metal rebar coming through. Also, the plaster had huge chunks missing all over the place, which you can't see in the photos. Stay tuned for the Remodeling updates!
