The pool has just been refurbished - less than 2 weeks ago.
I have plans to do the whole pool area...Pergola (already bought - need to build it), pavers, lighting, ornamental shrubs, etc.
My place sits on an acre so I have lots of room to dink around.
I'm retired so what else is there?
.
I bought the place in 2010 and just had no reason to rebuild the pool (I didn't really care) - but I have a fiance now.

I got 5 estimates for the pool renovation - the old pool was the original, built in 1960 and had been empty for years and was a mess.
All of the above-ground PVC was dry and useless. The pump was inop.
.
4 bids were all over $20k for everything new. One bid was $26k.
I found a young stud who is taking over his father-in-law's pool company. He did the entire rebuild for $10k+.
New return lines, new vari-speed pump, new sand in filter, all new wiring, the works!
.
We like it!
