Bill and Penny
Talk about a mess!  Bill and Penny were awoken one night when they heard a large crash from the back of their yard.  The next morning to their dismay they saw that a large oak tree had fallen into the swimming pool.  To make matters worse, then tree was inhabited by a colony of honey bees.  The deck was shattered and the one of the walls in the swimming pool had collapsed.  The vinyl liner in the swimming pool was ripped and ruined and the swimming pool was a total loss.

Aquamaid started from scratch on this project.  We removed the old concrete deck, the fallen tree, a broken diving board, and the ripped vinyl line.  The existing pool pumping was abandoned for relocating the existing pool equipment.  From there the project was pretty much a new swimming pool construction project.  Instead of replacing the swimming pool with a new vinyl liner, Bill and Penny choose to switch to a gunite pool shell.  Aquamaid removed the support walls for the old vinyl liner and made the swimming pool deeper to accommodate the new gunite surface.  A tanning ledge feature with an umbrella hole on the ledge was created so that Bill and Penny could watch grandchildren swim and still be under an umbrella during the hot Texas summer months. 

Here is just a summary of some of the tasks that took place on this mess to paradise project:

• Removed all of the existing deck, fallen tree debris, vinyl liner, and support walls.
• Excavated the swimming pool bottom making the swimming pool a foot deeper in the deep end.
• Added a new electrical system, pool pumping, lighting, equipment and an automatic pool cleaner.
• Poured and extended a new pool deck, removing a old out dated pool slide.  Bill and Penny now have a patio next to the pool like they always wanted!
• Added rebar and then shot gunite pool walls changing the pool from a vinyl liner pool to a gunite pool.
• Resurfaced the swimming pool with a 60% Caribbean Blue Quartz mix.
• Added an Oklahoma Flag Stone coping around the parameter of the swimming pool.
