It’s a plot I tell ya!

Saturday, March 25th, 2006

So it appears there is only ONE company in all of San Diego that sells pool tiles and they are only open in the weekday and a few hours on sat. Times at which normal people sleep in until 😉

Our pool re-modeling company gave us a catalog for National Pool Tile Group

I stumbled out of bed this morning and headed over to grab samples of tiles. It looks like we are leaning towards the Portofino You can not tell how good it looks on the web site.

We want to go with a tile that is pretty earth-toned and that is close to the color of the coping we decide to put in place.

A New Pool for the Summer

Saturday, March 25th, 2006

So the goal is to get the pool redone by this summer. The things we are planning to do:

1) resurface the pool
2) replace the old style spanish tile
3) Tear up the coping and deck
4) Lower the ground around the spa to be flush with the existing deck
5) install new decking and coping
6) Rip out all lighting and install new modern lights
7) add a step in the spa for easier access
8) replace the skimmer
9) install a vacuum pipe
10) redo all the plumbing (bigger pipes) and move the values
11) install equipment automation
12) Install a chlorine generation system

I think that is everything….

Oh yea, Convince Angie we need to re-add the dolphin mosaic back into the pool.
