We bought a foreclosure last year with a pool that was built in 1981 and is quickly becoming a Money Pit. Resurvace, patch, re-tile, New equipment room - Heater, filtration, rebuild of the cover box, new cover motor, cover, gliders, rails...
The money pit went to a whole new level over the 4th of July weekend...
The bullnose brick coping around the pool extends above the concrete pool deck from 3/4" to 1 3/4" and the outer edge of the bullnose brick is a sharp 90 degree edge straight down to the deck. We've recognized it as being both unatrractive and dangerous but it had been a lower priority than the functional issues. Over the 4th an ankle got broken on the coping resulting in an ER trip. Fixing this edge issue has instanlty become the priority but we can't find anyone who has a solution that isn't tearing out 2,500 sf of concrete deck and re-pouring a deck at $20k, which simply isn't doable. we wanted to put a stamped concrete overlay on top of the existing concrete deck to fill in the gap and upgrade the overall look of the pool, but contractors are saying it is too high to pour slab over the exisiting deck. Any help or ideas would be very appreciated.
