I think you’re brilliant and competent I’m a diy guy myself and I love learning and challenging myself. Most don’t have the confidence

Thank you so much I have a extension cord reel I need to do this I know this is a hose reel but like u said is the same mechanism

Great video . Can you just re tile that top part of the pool without re plastering the pool ? I want to re do my tile top . And paint the pool is that possible without replastering ?

Anybody who has used the real aircraft paint remover in the 80’s, 90’s & early 2000’s, knows this product is trash. They shouldn’t be allowed to sell it. It’s totally useless, unless it’s latex, cheap 1k or water paints. You’ll get the aroma of ammonia & get to clean it up. Don’t waste your money or time. Be prepared to strip mechanically.

Why not “epoxy garage-floor” the pool instead of plaster?? Last for 3-4 years ?

I have a feeling some dishwashing gloves might do the trick.

Different primers cause difference

Hey brother, I need one of that. How much is gonna be one of that?

Primeweld and FlexZilla... Good man!

Add some grout between your coping and tile as well id go with epoxy incase the concrete moves it wont crack so easy. If pool gets to full water will start seeking thru there and tile will eventually pop out especially the small glass tiles .

Dude. We wanna skate your pool. It’s perfect.

Are you in Knoxville? Do you still have this mower? Or did you happen to sell it in April for $150?

Very interesting I am in the pool business and have seen many decks drop.I may have you make me one! Do you have any issues with the slab cracking on you a customer of mine had his deck lifted and somehow a corner was broken off??

Luv the design

Its very strong stuff. Its the best available

Would you install the tile BEFORE completing the demo of the plaster and why?

Nope!! I only do leak detection and repairs that are superficial. My company will fix things that don't involve draining pools. Especially in the keys. But I commend you sir. It's not easy work.

Are you selling the plans?

Need part 2!

1. Thanks for making this video. It's great and very helpful to us others in the 'pool with cracks community', haha. Not to get off topic, but at 6:15 into the video, regarding the main drain, I would definitely abandon this single, out of code main drain for safety reasons. While it may be nice to have a main drain for circulation, cleaning, etc, it's not worth the entrapment risk that it poses. You could retro-fit to a code-compliant multi-port main drain system, but that would be a fairly big, expensive project. With today's powerful and often over-sized pumps, main drains like this one can become really dangerous, especially to kids who just love to poke around at them. Alternatively, they do make a retro-fit 'safety' main drain cover, which can bring this type drain up to code. I think 'AquaStar' company makes these. And not to be a 'debbie downer', but I'd consider getting rid of the pool light (120 VAC?) too. Pool lights are great and pretty to look at, and I believe may even be required by modern code (the idea being that you can see if a person is laying on the bottom of the pool), but regardless of code, I feel that the electrocution risk does not outweigh the benefit. Of course, GFCI and proper pool bonding will help mitigate the risk. However, I prefer to light the pool water via an external source, such as a spotlight mounted on the house, a post, or similar alternative solution.

I just changed all the fluids in my 2002 Jeep running gears - front/back differential - transfer case - transmission - engine oil … knucklehead how much I saved doing simple stuff

It would be a disaster without a doubt, unless you happen to be an expert and have 4 expert friends. Good call to pay for the plaster job, make up the money by doing other task which don't require that very specialized experience.

I didn't know you were fabricating them to sell: I thought you made one for yourself. I will go visit your website. I honestly don't know if I could use your slab-jack. I am in the early stages of either remodeling, repairing or restoring our swimming pool deck and tiles etc.

Exactly what I was looking for

Mine just arrived! The packaging was outstanding. I will be putting it to work tomorrow.

Thank you for talking me out of plaster

great job. Your welding and metal skills are awesome

you can waterproof the tie wire

Shorts...sucks

Did you contact pool companies or concrete companies?

I don't have to watch to know you can. I got a quote on my Vulcan Nomad for 5k. Strange engine tick. Did it myself and WITH the special Kawasaki tools I had to buy it cost me 500 bucks. But that's not all. That 500 bucks included a boatload more than just fixing the issue. I was able to replace half a dozen wear parts while I had the engine out.

The “hack” is paying the shop just for an inspection and then doing the repairs for items you can do yourself. They will actually tell you which parts are the problem and you can see from my numbers the savings can be huge.

Thanks for sharing your Maker Project! Your slab lifting tool reminded me of our Plymouth Fury III jacks and jack hook. I have to repair our swimming pool, but the more I watch YT channels like your channel I realize that our slabs aren't as bad. Some of tiles have fallen off the pool wall and that is when I learned that my parents paid a contractor 15 years ago to give the swimming pool a makeover, which included new tiles glued over the original tiles, new grout/mastic/mortar and provide a less slippery deck. Five years later in 2014 we experienced a couple of tropical storms that caused extreme flooding in northwest Florida, which shifted the slabs, I honestly don't think the slabs have shifted any further since 2014. I am trying to determine the best methods and solutions with a fair cost. I think I will be forced to do the DIY method because we received a bid for 25K

How many times have you broke the concrete where the definitely awesome invention meets the concrete under the slab?

Do you think this might be the same thing for a garden water hose?

If it's that easy . Thanks

Super interesting

One should really use an Oxy/Acetylene torch with around a #2 tip for heat shrinking so one can more control the heat effected area. Propane/Butane or MAP gas have way to large of flame and heat a significantly larger area. Which intern creates a lot more distortion on sheet metal. Also the use of the spray bottle and rag is to CONTROL your heat effected area. We don't want it to reach the good area around the damage. There is no point in checking your panel until it has completely returned to room temperature U WILL GET A FALSE READING! The shrinking disc is a great tool. However lets keep in mind it's intended use is to iron out the minor HIGH spots after our hammer n dolly work. At this point You really want to be using the spray bottle and rag to again CONTOL the shrinkage. Think of it as BLENDING the last little bit of metal work. Lets remember he is learning. Learning is trial and error fact of life! Without failure how do we learn what to do? LOL The struggle is real but it's part of the process. I think this was a great video. It shows U don't be afraid to try an that U can correct your mistakes. He will figure it out and U will also. If your really nervous what I did was go to my local body shop and ask them if they had an old panel they didn't want? Cant recall if the just gave me a fender I believe been years. Take it home n try U aren't out anything and U can learn so much. Plus if U can correct it. Hit it with a hammer n do it again. LOL

😂😂

My brothers company made some out of rebar folded them like staples

Cut 1/2” rebar 16” long bend ends 2” down..boom you got a staple.Everyone does it different

Do you mind to share the contact for a good bid from Florida?

How long could you have the gunite exposed to sunlight ? Im thinking about resurfacing my pool backyard entirely myself.. im not sure if thts even possible. Pool is about 33 thousand gallons.

cool tool

Next time you can pressure wash and acid wash it, then apply a bond kote. No need to remove old plaster unless it’s delaminated.

Government made em take out the methylene chloride

Shoulda definitely straight acid washed it then power wash

do you have to demolish the entire plaster? Could someone technically try to detect every single hollow points and just make those repairs. Man i really dont want to take out all the plaster T_T . I am kinda in your situation, most of the plaster seems to be glued to the ppool , but there are some hollow spots. More context here: my pool been sitting empty no water for years btw and some of the plaster seem to be doing fine and some arnt.

I am in the same boat. I am in SC near Charlotte and looking for a crew to replaster my pool.

You'll get a million comments on the weld but stainless is counter intuavid when you go down on amps and weld slower you put more heat in the part if you run a little hotter and move faster it actually keeps heat out of the part in short it goes down to jewels of energy but good job man mine came out descent to
