They started January 02 (or maybe the 3rd). Were chopping up the shallow walk in area when I left.

Still chopping with jackhammers today. Didn't realize there are stairs at the one end until I saw the pool emptied.

Initial projection was that it wouldn't reopen until April.

When we visited last summer, there were large sand bags in at least one spot on the bottom of the pool. Typically used to slow leakage where there's a crack / structural defect. Sounds like the concrete in a number of areas needs to be re-poured.

Here right now, and the pool is still under construction. Looking at the work still to be done, April looks realistic.

Pool is filled with water but not open yet.

Were any noticeable changes made to the pool or just a refresh?

 

[hcortesis]

I could not notice any changes.

I am so glad to hear it will be opening earlier than they told us!! we are arriving next Friday!

 

[DenLo]

I understand it was just the annual maintenance for the pool closure.

 

[hcortesis]

They did remove and replace the complete bottom, from shallow end to deep end.
