- The plastering and painting of the pool walls is shown in this video. The application of the blue paint and the leveling of the floor are also shown. You can also see how I prepare the pool edge to be able to build edge tiles on it later.
Plastering a wall is quite hard work, so I was happy to be able to sit there now and then. The plaster mortar also dried out quite quickly. That was because of the sun and the wind. So I had to level the stucco fairly quickly after application and then correct it. At one point I decided to do some plaster early in the morning and late afternoon.
After I finished plastering I leveled the floor. Due to the rain damage, the floor was too coarse to walk on with bare feet. I also think it is always necessary to level a concrete floor, with or without rain damage.
During the drying time of the cement on the walls and floor, I had started to apply curbstones, parallel to the edge of the pool. Pool edge tiles are generally 30 cm wide. The concrete blocks are 20 cm wide. So I had to make the pool edge wider for the edge tiles. Hence the application of the curbstones which I have built on the wall of stabilized sand.
After the cement on the walls and floor had dried for a sufficient time, I applied the blue rubber paint. Finally, after this job, the swimming pool was no longer a large gray area, but it had the beautiful sky blue color that you expect from a swimming pool. That is why I especially liked this job.
The chlorinated rubber paint had to dry for at least 12 days before the pool could be filled with water. If during that period rain would fall on a day, 1 day of drying time must be added. Fortunately during that period it only rained on 1 day, so after 13 days I could start filling the pool with water which will be displayed in the next video.
