How's it going from TX! I have a fairly unusual project brewing that I could use some input about.
I am looking into and researching a DIY situation. I have the construction background and and frame of mind to do something pretty cool. Here's the situation.
I am an avid skateboarder, and have been given the go ahead from the wife to build myself a skate pool in my backyard! Awesome I know, but here's the kicker. I can only do it if I can make it a swimmer also. Which complicates a fairly simple rebar, concrete, and pool coping skate pool.
I can handle the plumbing and all that no problem... But do I want to. The situation is my wife would like to swim in it the 6 months of summer we have down here and skate it the rest of the year.
So the difficulty is can I keep the chemicals right and just have one of those electric robot pool robots handle my cleaning? Or should I just make momma happy and effectively double the cost of this project? If i go the full on swimmer route I will go for the polished hydrazzo plaster since i know it can be dry for a long period of time and hold up.
A lot to think about! I appreciate your thoughts
