Disrepair

[Joepilot]

Hello everyone,
I am trying to repair an old pool, and it’s turned into a can of worms. Haha. Hopefully I can get it going again and back to it’s former glory so we can enjoy it for the rest of the this quarantine!
Thanks,
Joe

Welcome to TFP.

That pool looks good. We have watched pools in much worse shape come back to life.

You can browse the Under Construction section and find some of the projects.

When you are ready begin your own thread there with your plans and challenges and we will help you along the way. Some resources that may help are...

I hope that you're monitoring the ground water situation. High ground water can float the pool right out of the ground.

Also, I recommend that you make a rule of no glass by the pool.

We have two others going on right now. I will look for their threads so you can see what they are doing and ask them questions. Please DO start a thread for your fixing!

Welcome joe


Step one, Grab wife and drinks. *check*
Step two, Well, step two is a doozy.


Lol. The folks here love a challenge more than they love helping. It’s almost like the worse something is, the more they will be darned if they don’t help fix it. You’re in good hands.
