Pool
(click images to enlarge)
The pool is finally chipped and ready for plaster today. The pool contractor that we used only had two guys working on the chipping so it took 5 days. I bet our neighbors are happy that the jackhammering portion is over and done with!
We had them save the original tile. It was in really great shape and after some cleaning will look like new. Unfortunately the chippers slipped and damaged two of them. At least they didn't ruin the classic "Hoams" tile. That one is a keeper right there. Hoams was the original pool contractor (probably the only game in town back then) for all of these tract houses in 1959.

we have the same pool as you, so i enjoyed the pix of the guys with the jackhammers. my pool guy has a different story about hoams. he says anthony and (another pool co.) were building all the pools for alexander and got behind. so alexander formed his own pool building company (hoams is an acronym, the "a" is alexander) and starting building the pools too. ours is an 18x36 and we replastered about this time last year.
