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.
