Looks great! Congratulations!
Leaks had to be fixed and a complete drain and acid wash. It actually looked a whole lot worse that it was. About 2K total. Charlotte County gives you a break on the water bill when you fill a pool, nice plus.

How much was just the acid wash portion?

It was a foreclosure and my bank wouldn't close until the pool was up and running so I didn't have time to shop around. Called several places but as is the case in Florida, only one showed up so we gave him the job. It was $900.00.

Ok, good to know. I show homes that often times the pool needs an acid wash. I assumed $800-1,000 based on past experience but wasn't sure what the current going rate was. Thanks

oddly enough your model sound like our next spec home...1900+ with pool bath/store and a full deck.....WHEN we get time !!!!!!!!!!!
Can you please post the pictures? I also have a 90° wall with sliders on both walls and can't figure out what to do.

How about a pic of what a 90degree wall with sliders on both sides is for us who aren't familiar as well? But I suppose if the solution pictures are posted that'd probably cover both bases huh...

X3- I take it some people who are living with these zero corner sliders are experiencing this problem. ^^^^^

I've been doing window treatments for 20 years and I can't think of one solution that wouldn't a) leave a gap at the corner, or b) just look really bad with an overlap at the corner.

This is an opportunity for a new invention. Make a track that follows the curve of both sliders.
