Wait on the lawn, in fact wait on any improvement project in the backyard
until they are done. Are are you going with replaster or one of the newer

we took down the pool the bottom rail that the wall sits in is all
corroded and rusty so we need to replace it. I have called the pool

I have been taking care of my pool for over 10 years with no
problems. This year, I can not get it clear, can not control the
algae, and can’t keep chlorine in the pool.
