Everyone winterizing?
Is everyone winterizing their clients pools?

We are still in the thick of it but the end is in sight.

I figure everyone is busy...no body is posting.

filling in a pool
Hi I'm sorry, I can't figure out how to start a new thread!
y sister and parents bought a house with an indoor pool in Acton MA last year. then My sister got cancer. I'm thinking they need to get rid of the expense of that pool. Anyone tell me what's involved in converting that huge room with cathedral ceiling and a wall of sliding doors to the deck, into a living room/ activity room? Pool is about 25 by 54

Just Finished Winterizing this Puppy!
Just winterized this project along with the two outdoor spas and a Reflection Pool. After drain down we hit it with air and got almost no water, it's nice to have a pump pit that's 11' below the pool deck!

We then installed the winter covers on each vessel. The main pool at 5,600 square feet was a hump, but the two of us did it. I don't care if I never see a Hilti drill again!!

Shoreline,

5600 sqft is a monster.

Is that pool in CT. Hotel?

Took a couple minutes with just two of you to get it installed.

Actually the main pool cover took two of us a day and a half to install. The anchors had to be drilled and installed, etc.
