Pool Replaster, Pt. 1

Nothing pretty about these shots, but I know my mom will want to see. Bob does a great job maintaining our pool, but the plaster has been wearing out for several years. We finally "bit the bullet" to have it refurbished last month. Here are a few before pics. The dark spots were rough on our feet! We didn't realize how bad things had gotten until we saw it empty. Gross!
Next step was to dig down below the ruined plaster (see all the "moon craters"). Damage was worse than expected. White stuff is a bonding agent to dry overnight.
We were worried about blossoms from our trees dropping into the wet plaster, so they hung this tarp. Worked like a charm!
After pics comin' up tomorrow!
