And BBQed a monster Tri-tip on the new Weber Grill!
We cheated just a day on using the pool. We were supposed to wait 10 days after filling which would have been Monday....Sunday was close enough.
The project took a little over a month to jack hammer all the old plaster off and repair cracks. Since this pool had been built in the 30s and had scarcely 2" of concrete for the walls and floor, we took our contractor's advice and caged the bottom with rebar and added 15 yards of shotcrete to the floor and sides.
Finally, the reinforced shell was plastered with Stonescape's mini-pebble in a beutiful Tahoe Blue.
Now, we're almost done. Those three missing bricks in the coping are just waiting for a match to complete the project. The old ones were cracked and one chipped. Sadly the first replacements were the wrong color or it would have been finished last week.
