I'm sorry if I'm not following your question completely, been a long day already. I hope this helps.... So I just tore out my concrete deck. If yours is constructed like mine, the pool shell is about 12 inches thick, and the deck was about 5. The deck actually just rested on the pool shell...

Take a pic with your cell then go to an image hosting site to host it (imgur, imageshack etc) then link it to here.

Thought about that, just wasn't sure how to go about it. If I have this right in my head, the concrete would need an AB2 base, then 4-5 inches of concrete, then a couple inches of paver sand and paver on top?

We recently tore out our concrete pool deck. We're replacing it with a paver deck, and we're redoing our coping at the same time. We've got pretty much everything figured out (I think) except for anchoring the ladder railings (single rail on the shallow entry, double rails in the deep end)...

Re: Pics of what went wrong this winter Got the proposal back from a local builder. Between 17 and 23k, depending on what kind of finishes we want. Honestly, I don't think that's outrageous, however, it is more than we want to (or can) spend at the moment. Got some time to think about it I...

Re: Pics of what went wrong this winter Sure thing man

Pics of what went wrong this winter Please keep your content together as it is easier to follow. Thanks Casey~ Recently posted this http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/74528-Pool-is-in-need-of-some-serious-professional-attention Thought I'd update with pics, so here we go Uncovered last...

No pics yet, sorry. I will get some though. No way we can afford to spend that much on something that's not going to positively effect the value of the house, so we're thinking of recruiting some friends and tackling this ourselves. Anyone here personally resurfaced their pool? Been watching...

Plumbing and equipment works fine. It's just not very aesthetically pleasing at the moment. I suppose we can battle with flakes/chunks of coping falling into the pool for another year :)

2 years ago we bought a HUD house. Got an awesome deal and it came with a pool. The house was vacant for a year, and according to the neighbors the pool hadn't been opened for 4+ years prior. Fast forward to now, and this thing needs some serious attention. We've always had problems with...

It's actually a safety cover for the winter months.

Our previous cover was completely trashed when we bought the house, tattered, torn etc. We made it last through this past winter, but we had to throw it out this year. Any recommendations on where to buy a new one?

Yup :lol: Tanks for the info!

What's another recommended method of testing chlorine levels? My kit is down to about 1-2 more uses R-0870 and I'm in the process of shocking. Is there anything worth buying at an LPS or WalMart or anything? Dumb question I'm sure, but this is only my second season and I've only ever used the...

That's pretty cool, hadn't considered that. We were swimming late last night and my mastiff slipped on the coping and fell in the deep end. She went straight for the nearest wall, opposite the stairs. She wouldn't have found her way out had I not been there. She cut me pretty good with her...
