Sigh................any idea where he went to? At least that is fairly easy to do! OH YEAH!!!! That is a BIG step forward! :kim:

Does the gasket have pre-drilled holes?

The first thing I would do is see if anyone around you had a piece of the liner for you to feel and look at and from there. I think that will answer any concerns.

I am with you! Get that pool plastered to enjoy it. The landscaping can wait! In fact it will be oh so much better to work on the landscaping then jump in the pool!! If you have your pool water balanced and you get the dirt out right away then it is no biggie!

Have you tried an "ease out" to get the parts of the screws out?

well I never.......................what were they thinking? WHY did they do that?

I don't really have any real life experience. I am going on my gut mostly. I worry about the same thing you mention of it maybe thinner but don't really think it would be but something to think about. I also worry, like you do on it being harder to sweep and such. Have you seen any in real life?

6 of one and half a dozen of another............that to say there are pluses and minuses of each one. The steps and shelf will get the most "abuse" as they will be walked on and used the most so the embossed surface has to be pretty sturdy.

Hi and welcome to TFP! I have an idea! How about having BOTH of them at that end of the pool? Push the spa away from the house and put the shelf beside it. SO many good reasons to do this: -Best of both worlds by having them both there for the reasons you stated above. -I worry about the bench...

I think the weather has used it's powers up with what it threw at Tallahassee Friday, May 10! We had 3 twisters with 2 of them right on top of each other coming together right over downtown and ending 1/4 mile North of us!!! SO Florida is due a break as far as weather goes. You are SO close...

Okay, I forgot it was not a plaster pool. SO close though!

NICE! Love the planters as well! Have you been in yet?

I have some TFP cards that I pass out if I see someone in a box store by the pool stuff. I don't know if anyone has visited the site but at least I tried.

Kim is a household word in many pool builds for sure!! lol

We do have a residential one about that size that we helped build. I think it was in TX also. It is an awesome pool and yard. I will see if I can find it.

Go ahead and mix in the ph upper with the pump on high xfor about 15 or so minutes. Low ph can damage a liner. Then by pass the heater.

I think they will end up doing a water exchange BUT has to get the heater out of the equation so it does not happen again. They are on the right track for sure :hug:

Recommended Pool Chemicals try this one

:hug: this will get us started!! We are here for you!!!! Now lets lay down the road map: -Can you bypass the heater? If not do you know how to do pvc pipe or know anyone that does? The low ta and ph ruined your heater elements is my guess. Here is another :hug: after hearing that bad news...

I support your decision. Learn all you can by reading and asking questions!

Man that is looking GREAT!!!!

LOVE the accent tile. Just what was needed! Well done on them for suggesting it! LOVE the decking tile as well! That is going to nice on the feet in the heat!

You are right where most of us where when we found TFP! We almost did not buy this house as it had a pool! Look at me know...........a MOD on a pool forum LOL What I found most helpful was to pick an area and read. That way I could head off any problems before they even got started. You have...

Love, love,LOVE it all!!! From where it came from to now is quite a journey!!! WELL DONE!

The where you got it is not too important. What is important is do you have the measurements. I am guessing you don't have the paper work. Some times they will print the measurements on the top edge of the liner. Do you remember anything like that?

I can see the bling already!!!!

Okay so we need to find a way to clean up the inside of the wall of the corrosion that has happened. Do you think you could collect enough the water to do a pH test on it? Sure don't want to do alll of the work on the wall if it is going to keep happening.

All of that looks great! I am glad you are using foam cove. Yeah the wall foam on the floor had to be a nightmare to even try to use. You are going to LOVE the foam boards !

:kim: oh yeah!!! Permits are a good thing! Deck-I suggest concrete all the way around. You could have a fancy stamp and coloring on the ones at the end. That is about a fire proof as you can get.

Are you ;sure that is plaster coming off? Could it be paint over the old plaster?
