    Can 6x6 tile be cut to 2x2 and look ok?

    Chipping out the plaster is a battle I just didn't have the energy for. It took me this long to get them to even replaster.

    Hi all, it's been awhile...please tell me if my PB is full of it...very very long story short, after 2.5 years of nonsense from my PB, they finally have agreed to replaster my pool since EVERYONE (ok, except the plaster company owner, lol) they sent out here including an independent third party...

    scale?

    Allen, I wouldn't say that the pool ever felt smooth...it feels the same as always...a little like sandpaper...I just felt the section he tested and it doesn't feel any different than the rest of the pool.

    scale?

    I'm not positive if it was Jack's...that's what they called it but I didn't look closely at the bucket...I'll look at my cameras and see if I can zoom in. I didn't see an obvious reason for scale either but I'm not an expert. So Mark, do you lean towards this guy is full of crud? He wants to...

    scale?

    I need opinions from people I can trust...very long story short...99% of my pool is like a light blue color (Wet Edge Cadet Blue)...1% is a dark blue where the plaster people attempted to fix a bad plaster job. The pool was originally plastered Nov 2021 and they attempted their fix Jan 2022...

    Building a 25-yard pool?

    As mentioned by Newdude, my pool is 52 feet long. I would have preferred to go longer but the budget didn't allow. It is sufficient for me but I'm not a former D1 swimmer, lol. I am a triathlete so I only swim 2-3 days a week...I would expect you will be disappointed with anything less than...

    I know better (pool store)...

    oof, it's been awhile...just tested...60. (Just for laughs I looked at the pool store report...they have 150 :LOL:...no adjustments will be made based off of that...purely looked for entertainment value ;) )

    I know better (pool store)...

    Went to the pool store today to pick up Muriatic Acid. While I was there figured I would get "official" water testing done since it's been quite awhile (supposed to have "official" tests for any plaster claims is my understanding). So guy runs all the tests and then tells me I need to add 2.1...

    Agree with the others on not having the bench all along the back.
