Additional Tile Notes

The waterline tile in the pool appears to be in good condition overall.

The rock work surrounding the pool is older, and will likely need to be re-mortared / waterproofed soon ($1500+) especially around the Spa Spillover area ($1000+) as I am seeing areas where water is penetrating, but should be waterproofed.

Also, there is a crack present on both sides of the Spa Spillover. This area will likely need to be opened up and re-sealed for waterproofing ($1500+).

Heater Additional Notes

Hey heater does function and turn on. It does not appear that the heater has been turned on in more than one or two years and will likely need to have its burner area cleaned of leaf debris to prevent a fire hazard ($250).

I do not feel this heater will last longer than another one to 24 months due to its current condition and Replacment will be required if not now ($2800-4800).
