pool renovation

Our pool has these brown glass 1x1s and they have been a problem popping off. I’ve had a tile pro re-do them years ago and they still pop off. I want to replace them with something else - no more 1x1s or small glass tiles for me. I’ve had too much e t trouble with them. Here are some pool...

Hi all, This is my first post, so bear with me if I don't get all the necessary information out on the first shot. I found this forum after looking everywhere for good information on good plastering techniques, what to watch for, etc. and being overwhelmed with how much information was out...

I am not sure if this is the right section to post this in but since it is technically new and a renovation it may be fine. I bought a house that sat empty for a while after repairs were done because of hurricane Harvey. While it was vacant the pool pump was stolen and the pool was...
