Let the Pool Renovations, Round 2 Begin!

I know it's been a while since we've updated here, and I actually do have a lot to add.  But, ill start with our current project then later work backwards through our other completed projects and updates.  

Today, we begin draining the pool for what we'll call Pool Reno, Round 2.  If you remember back to when we first bought the house, the pool was black.  

We knew it had black algae, and that although we drained and pressure washed and changed to saltwater, eventually the algae would grow again.  Our plaster is very old and pitted.   And, yes, every year the algae returns in minimal amounts.  

This year was no exception, and the pitted plaster has become so old and worn, the algae grabbed on and had some fun.  Way worse than it has ever been!

In addition, some of the tile and coping began falling off because that happens when the pool is what ours is, just plain OLD!

We decided it is time to bite the big one and get the pool redone.  So, today the draining begins once again.  

We are just doing plaster and repairing the tile and coping for right now, so we may even have a 3rd part in the next year or so.  There are obviously many more updates to come!
