So we've resigned ourselves to the fact that our 17K gallon 1960's-era rectangular IG pool (concrete/plaster that had been fiberglassed by a previous owner) is going to have to be resurfaced. But now that the rainy season will be underway soon (we've had two pretty good but short rainstorms so far), and the pool is at the low point of our property (and we have heavy clay soil that stays heavy and soggy out into June), we're worried about the pool 'popping' while it's in its drained state during the resurfacing
Which scenario sounds least likely to be problematic:
1. Go for the resurfacing now and hope that the really heavy rains don't get going for another month or two
2. Wait until spring when the rains have stopped but the ground is still pretty heavy and soggy
3. Wait until late spring/early summer when the ground is dry but: 1. the water costs would be higher b/c of drought pricing (and we need to use the bulk of our water allocation for keeping the landscaping alive); 2. the pool would be out of commission during time we'd like to be using it
