Pool Tiles Coming Off

I just moved into a house that has an inground concrete pool which was originally finished with 1"x1" ceramic tiles. The pool is 30-40 years old and the tiles are starting to come away from the concrete. It looks as though this has been happening for quite some time as many repairs are evident.
I am considering scraping all remaining tiles off and applying some kind of paint instead to clean it up. Is this recomended, and if so, what kind of paint should I use? Otherwise re-tiling would cost a small fortune. Any ideas?

yeah! hey --- you could always just paint the tile instead of having it re-set. Nobody'd know the difference

tree roots VS above ground pool

M

MrRealtor on Apr 07, 2006

I have 1 gum ball tree about 30' from pool & another one about 20 ' from pool. About 25' is a silverleaf. The trees are about 40-50 years old and there are a few roots in the area of where the pool would go. My question is what if any hurdles do I face due to this situation? I have no other placement for the pool and would like to make sure it is placed properly. Any help on this????

I am installing an above ground pool and i was told to use peat moss instead of sand because it does not wear out the liner as much, but the instructions says not to use peat moss, what should i do
