Month: July 2022

Here is what things look like today, after a day of chipping out the old plaster. There is still the deep end to do, and hauling away all the debris. They should have this done tomorrow.

Repairs on the pool will begin early next week and we should be back open within few weeks.

This is best estimate based on what they need to do, starting with chipping out 2 or 3 layers of plaster over the entire area of the pool to get to the base layer, and then apply a new layer of plaster over that. It will take days for the new layer to properly cure before we can open the pool for swimmers.

We will keep you updated as things progress.

This past weekend, we determined there were a lot of separations in the pool plaster, the last of which was done in 2014.  I spoke with the pool company that re-plastered it last time and was told there are probably 2 or more layers beneath the last one. His suggestion is that we have all of the layers of plaster removed, down to the base material, and then re-plaster the pool.

At this time, we are awaiting the quote for this work and in the meanwhile, the pool will be closed until we can get these repairs done. We will let everyone know when this work is scheduled and the approximate completion date.

Below is a link to a Dropbox folder with some photos of the problem areas, These are not all of the problem areas, just a sampling of them.

The Pool will be closed until further notice so we can perform plaster repairs and cleaning.
