Pool Deck Makeover

One of the things that we were excited but extremely nervous about was the on-ground pool.  Neither one of us had a pool growing up so we weren't really sure how to care for it.  The first thing that we had to do was to make the pool and access to it, safe.  When we looked at the house, Tony walked around the pool and there was a bounce in the decking.  The "decking" was plywood covered with outdoor carpeting.  I'm sure when they installed it, it worked great until it rained and the plywood filled up with water.

Tony and his dad started by ripping up the old decking.  This was the easy part.

The next step was to cut the 1 x 4 boards to length and sand down the corners.  With Tony's mom and I both sanding and the boys laying and screwing in the boards, it went pretty quickly. 

Prep and Install
After the deck was installed, we had a new liner put in.  The old one was bleached and ripped in the corner.  Not bad for a weekend project!

Completed Pool!
