The swimming pool out back is now gone.
Don't get me wrong, the pool is technically still there. It just hasn't been used in a long time, as it kept on draining the water. So, without being used, it slowly became a storage place for some of our unused, but not to be discarded, things. At the very least, having a lot of stuff in there is better than what happened to my neighbor's pool; she just can't keep the skaters away.
Recently, we've come into some money and have elected to fix up the pool. By our calculations, we found that we would have a little extra funds to fix up the aesthetics of the surrounding area as well. So the next day, we went around to look for whatever would work with it.
As we looked at the prices for tiles, however, we realized that we just don't have enough funds for the classier ones. The cheap ones were not an option, as we'd rather stick to our old poolside tiles than downgrade to those. So that's what we elected to do at the time; go home and just enjoy our newly fixed pool.
When I talked about the tile dilemna with one of my friends, though, he mentioned something interesting. I wasn't aware of it, but he said that we could add concrete tiling to the pool. The surrounding area is concrete anyway; all I had to do was get a contractor to work on it for me.
So there: My friend very kindly logged me on to the Concrete Polishing website and within a matter of minutes found a contractor willing to come over and help with fixing up our pool. We scheduled a meeting next weekend and I'm sure our swimming pool will very soon have a handsome new polished concrete floor.
