Yep, they set the new coping right on top of that "new" bond beam with mortar. The pool was redone in the summer of 2021 and the pavers were laid in the summer of 2022. At least here in Miami, the temperature doesn't fluctuate very much, but it's a shame regardless. There's probably too many...

One additional question. Even if they had chipped down to the rebar, how would the joint be sealed properly?

That's what I feared. There was no rebar or anything unfortunately and I wish I could go back and convince my dad to go with the company that had a longer wait to get started. This is someone who did my neighbors pool, so we trusted him, but my neighbor just had the plaster redone. No coping or...

Two years ago, my dad had his pool redone by someone who turned out to be very incompetent. To make this short, I will leave out some of the reasons why. Basically, the work done involved applying new plaster and raising up the coping by pouring concrete on top of the existing pool shell and...

Thanks I'll check that out

Hello everyone, I'll keep it simple. We're having pavers installed on our patio and the current skimmer is flush with the old patio. The pavers will raise the deck up about 2 inches and the skimmer lid will be recessed. We bought a ring from the local pool store but the problem is that it...

Okay cool. I appreciate the suggestion and the method of pulling the light. We'll be ordering something in the next few days and I'll be updating everyone.

Yes exactly what he said. No open connections except for the junction box.

Because from what I saw when our lamp was removed, the cable goes into the housing and it's all one piece. We're also changing the whole fixture to an led one because the gasket has a leak and the lamp is full of water. From what I've read online, it's no problem to do it the way I described by...

Back for an update. The floating skimmer isn't that great and I'm going to be sending it back. It robs the vacuum line of too much suction and the vacuum kinda just floats around. I have a new question. The pool guy was a joke and my dad got him to agree to break the contract. I just think he...
