replastering - I guess I can't postpone the inevitable any longer

Hi Keith,

I don't know anything about replasterers, especially in your area of the country, but you might be able to negotiate water drainage into the agreement, especially since there's always a danger of floating your pool out of the ground if you have a high water table and the draining is not done correctly. I know when I had my liner replaced 2 years ago, it included draining of the pool.I guess the only thing you can do is call around, but I would definitely ask that specific question when choosing someone to replaster it.

Hi,

Thanks so much for the reply. I've thought and read about this whole 'pool-floating' thing many times. We live up on top of a pretty steep hill. If the water table is actually only 6 feet below our ground level (deepest part of the pool is only 6 feet), it would seem to me that everyone in the town right below us would be swimming. I wouldn't want to take any chances though and will definitely take your advice, but I can't imagine that we live in what would be considered a 'high water table area'.
