- Comment on I Can Replace this Rusted Post but ... 2 months ago:
Doesn’t look like the pole was gal at all, just painted mild steel. That stirrup will work but will rust again but that’s okay as you can replace it easily enough if you are still around.
when you afix the stirrup (get a better one with a foot and chip concrete flat with a cold chisel, use SS bolts, brush and rust proof paint the bit where you cut the support off, just prop the joist with a log (or whatever) and a jack as you are working. It will look ghetto but be solid. You don’t want the fasteners taking the load, that’s what the foot of the stirrup is for.
I am not a builder, just what i’d do ;)
- Comment on No where to go, but up! 2 months ago:
i used to live on the 13th floor in an apartment on the Gold Coast in Australia. Across the canal at the end of winter the houses there all had pools looking like this… they’d then spend a week or two cleaning it up, swim in it 2 or 3 times, then it would eventually go back to looking like that. Seemed like a giant waste of resources and time, i’d swim laps at the community pool or cycle to the beach and swim laps in the enclosed swim area
Now my community pool here in Tasmania also looks like that over winter :) but they clean it all up and I swim laps for free in Summer. i do give the community group a donation once a year so i guess not ‘free’ per se.
good luck OP, plenty of like looking pools oot there ;)
