Phase 3 of our home purchase/remodel was to replace and enlarge the old pool decks, re-plaster the actual pool and move and upgrade the 30 year old pool equipment. But before that work could begin, I felt I had to deal with some problem stone walls.

These walls surround the pool on two sides, and are fairly traditional in this part of CA. Unfortunately, ours have fallen/caved in over the 18 months since we moved here, and had evidently done so in the past as well.












When we saw the house for the first time I thought the chains looked kinda cool. Upon the second visit it occurred to me they were there for a reason...

It kills me to get rid of these, but we do have several even longer ones we plan to repair. I have even found someone to do the work, but I had to agree to keep all the stone until he was done... Stay tuned!
