Helluva project, man - cheers!
So, is this going to be your new sunken greenhouse?

 

[starcraftguy1988]

Man this is mostly non weed related, and its been one of my more favorite threads. Good shit who knew pool renovation would be so exciting as a spectator!

 

[Mohican]

The new electrical, drain, and irrigation are in the ditch!

We cut the cement and sledge hammered out the pieces:



This was the rat's nest of electrical and gas at the equipment before:

Man I have been busy! Work, pool, finally meeting my grandson!

 

[Thundercat]

Work and pool are ok, but I’m sure it was awesome getting to meet the grandson!

It was the best! They stayed here for three weeks. I miss them so much.

I took off for Home Depot yesterday and heard a loud thump on the freeway. I thought I just hit one of the markers the wrong way. When I turned off of the freeway at the bottom of the off-ramp I drove over some lane markers and they were very loud. I swerved the car to check the response and it was mushy. At this point I knew I had a flat. I pulled in at the nearest parking lot and called AAA.

Facetimed my Grandson and my daughter and they helped me relax. He loved seeing the tow truck.

AAA got me in 30 minutes and flatbed towed me to Costco. The tire had a large piece of sheet metal shaped like a hunting knife right through the center of the tire! Costco charged me $29 under warranty to replace the tire. I love Costco and AAA!

Pool Update

Here are some pics of the pool progress.

Plumbing attempt #1 - These are professionals!



I had the deck removed by another contractor at a fraction of what the pool place wanted:





Plumbing attempt #2 - One guy showed up after two weeks and tried forcing pieces together.



Plumbing attempt #3 - they still didn't finish the stubbs in the right places!



New tile and coping repair:



Backfill:



Coming next - concrete!

Mo

I like looking at pool decks but god do I hate pouring them.

Concrete looks good!

Mrs Mo and I scrambled to get the new light in before they started plastering.

Got one of these:



We replaced the light 20 years ago. That was a nightmare! This time it was much easier (ish).

@Wattzzup - It was hell trying to find old school rock salt that has that uniform 3/16 inch cube crystal grains!

@Wattzzup - It was hell trying to find old school rock salt that has that uniform 3/16 inch cube crystal grains!

Is that what makes the texture on the surface?

 

[Mohican]

Deck-O-Seal:



It is the sand epoxy mixture they put in all of the concrete expansion joints. We had these plastic channels that were all broken and sharp - full of nasty stuff.

Plaster application time!
