The gate leading to the pool was broken.

The pool itself was broken. See all the cracks?

So the city inspector said, “Fix it or else!”
I had some old boards from the fence I took down. And as an Iowa farm boy, I have skills.

So I fixed it. For less than $20 . New hinges and corner brackets, but I used old nails.
Now, to repair the danged pool my own little self.
You are the man!!
Thank you. Now if only I can learn to repair pool cracks cheaply.
That one is tougher. We go to the bullpen on those. We have a pool, but when it snows and ices and it packs down, the brick around the top of the pool can crack.
I tried to do the job before and trained myself to grind out the cracks and apply the resurfacing materials, but I only got halfway done before health problems stopped me. I am hoping to get farther this time.
