I miss the swimming pool in our back yard.
Actually, what's outside is a hole in the ground. It's not technically a pool, as water keeps on draining out. Over time, we slowly piled old unused junk into it. Which is actually a good thing, as it serves as a deterrant to neighborhood skaters. In the case of my neighbor (who also has a pool), she couldn't keep them off her property.
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.
I brought out my laptop and right there and then, my friend introduced me to the Concrete Polishing website and within moments found a contractor who agreed to come over. We scheduled a meeting for the near future and very soon, I'm sure, our pool will be the envy of my friends.
