10:06 When is the best season to remodel your swimming pool? Cons of remodeling in the spring. Time constraints, weather, and product availability can be an issue. Pros, full staffing and skilled labor is available.

17:20 Issues remodeling a pool in the winter are weather, labor availability, and pushing up against the holidays. Nobody wants their backyard to be a mess during holiday parties or traveling.

20:45 Fall is Frank's preferred time to renovate pools. The weather is manageable, there is less rush to finish before the holiday season, a reasonable labor force, and plenty of time to order and wait on preferred product selections if needed. There is also plenty of time to allow proper plaster curing. Renovation companies may also offer some incentives.

30:40 soapbox time: Frank goes off about plaster/renovation companies not offering proper plaster start-up yet will quickly void warranties if it needs to be done correctly.

34:28 Listener question number 2; When should you order your cover for your swimming pool. Frank recommends ordering leaf and safety covers in late summer. What is the difference between a leaf cover and a safety cover.

43:00 when covering an operational pool you must continue to test and properly treat your water.
