We have a pool in Palm Springs. The quotes we got were so outrageous that we're going to update the pool ourselves.
I have a 8 foot deep pool that I want to make shallower to about 4.5 feet.
Here's what we're going to do:
1) We will raise the drain and add dual drains
2) Fill in the deep end with Sand. I heard sand is best to use. I have extra "soil". Can I use that ??
3) We will then add rebar with 12'' or less in space between the rebar. What size rebar should we use ?
4) We will then epoxy the rebar into the existing shell.
5) We will then pour 6'' of concrete to top off the debt
6) Lastly we will replaster the pool
Do I have the right idea here ?
