Can this pool marriage be saved? Renovate or demo.

I appreciate the enthusiastic positive response. I’m still too worried to party! Probably due to thinking that’s 20 grand. Really.
Water filling stopped after 46 hours.
Still playing with the deck color. Not the best for visualizing but using glidden website paint your picture and a sherwin Williams app.
Mguzzy - I contacted the insurance agent who responded eliminating the diving board changes bubkas with policy cost. Good idea though.
AFTER 12 grand 8 to go
BEFORE 20 grand

Pump on, acid bath to expose plaster specks and scrubbing started. Deck gets another treatment before final coating. Wind blowing, leaves falling, still 80 degrees. Trusting PB again.communication helps rather than texting...after shut off water fill it poured from the night sky. Can I get a water bill refund?

I would consider it a 20K investment in your equity... besides it just looks nicer. If you didn't have it fixed think of how yucky it would be to use your pool... Now its fixed and it's something worth showing off, befitting the setting you are in. You will want to swim in it now!
Mguzzy. Thanks for your coaching. I hope you and all other TFPers are safe from the fires.

Thanks for your concern.. I'm not affected.. but I know many that are.. Its surreal to see this happening for sure.
I knew your pool was gorgeous when you first posted it, and now it truly shines. I'm so glad you kept the pool and fixed it up.
Plaster is progressing nicely. The acid wash has exposed the blue freckles. I am now convinced it’s looking pretty good.
Heavy winds today dumped tons of leaves into pool. The skimmer wizard was not reinstalled yet. I went out to trim my beautiful hibiscus because it’s dropping big bud bombs into the pool. I noticed the skimmer was jam packed and pulled out gobs of leaves using bbq tongs. While doing this the jets started belching big time. Then the skimmer went old faithful right before my eyes. Since moving in there’s always been what I have learned now is air in the system but no obvious leak in shed or loss of water.
I’ve never seen the skimmer bubble like it did. PB probably won’t be back until tomorrow. One hint is the shed floor around the sand filter is wet but the lawn pump is next to it and it may have been on this morning too.
Does anyone know why? Does it need immediate attention whatever is the cause?
