Replacing the tile floor in our pool house. We bought the house in the fall of 2019, and enjoyed the pool for our first summer last year. I am sure It would have not been as enjoyable without the help of the great members here at TFP. We had alot of struggles getting a badly neglected pool up and running, and clean after it had been closed and ignored for 2+ years. Anyways back to the subject of this post. We noticed some tiles were loose , but as I said we wanted to enjoy the pool, so we decided to put those repairs off for a while. Well the time is here now for those repairs so it will be ready by opening time this year. I have attached some photos of our progress yesterday, and I will continue to update you guys with the progress. We decided to get rid of the tile, and go with composite decking. So yesterday we picked up the materials, and started the demo process. we had to take up the tiles, then the badly degraded backer-board. The old floor is 17 years old, because we found 2004 stamped on the backer-boards, and plywood. If you look at bottom right corner of the first pic its hard to see but the tiles were sunken down in one spot, and popping loose. We started pulling up tiles as you can see in the second and third pics. after removing the tiles, and backer-board we discovered why the tiles were sinking down in one area. As you see in the forth photo the ply wood was rotten, and so soft i stepped right through it. We are currently trying to get all of the plywood up now so we can start the composite decking install. This is the most time consuming and tiring part so far. The plywood is glued as well as nailed with ring shank nails. Its just me and my wife tackling this project, but we will have it done in no time. Stay tuned....
this one on!!!
