As you can see, much progress has been made to the pool. The before and after photos remind me of “The Money Pit” with Tom Hanks and Shelley Long, but hopefully the before and after shots are the only similarities! I don’t have much of an update of what is left to do, but I think the main job is to refill, which could take a few days. I can’t wait to jump in this weekend!

As usual, the new photos have been added to my Pinecroft Pool Renovation album. The new photos consist of the tile work, pump installation, and plastering.

Major renovation began Monday at Pinecroft. The crew drained the pool, removed the brick and tile, bored out the cracks and cut the concrete for the new shallow end skimmer. I’m curious if the pool has ever been entirely drained before! The photos are posted. Take a look if you wish, but our beloved summer time oasis looks more like a pool at a $29.95 per night Super 8 in the middle of New Mexico right now! My dad says that if the crew keeps up this pace they should finish all the work by the end of the week! Stay tuned for updates. Link to the album
