Story
- We have two sets of stairs to go up from our deck to the pool.
- Over the years, these have settled and large gaps in the concrete have open up.
- We thought about demolishing and rebuilding the stairs.
- We decided to fix this by hiring a concrete raising company.
- To raise concrete by drilling a few small holes and injecting a foam-like substance.
- They have you sign a waiver that they are not responsible if they hit a pool line.
- They hit a pool line.
- Demolishing the stairs is the only way to get at the pool line to repair it.
- We wound up having to rebuild the stairs anyway.
- This wound up demolishing our small stone wall too.
- We rebuilt this wall a few month later as described on the Small Stone Wall Page.
