    Please help! My pool is...growing something? from the wall.

    Tempting… but my pool is the main selling point of my house, and I’m not confident in my abilities to do this and make it not look like Crud. My goal is to hopefully have it look decent when done, although this statement from the contractor doesn’t fill me with confidence either “Please note...
