  • POOL REPAIRS/PERMIT:
    Finally received County permit to replace pool tile.  Work will begin hopefully next week.  Due to change in Florida State and County regulations, our pool was reclassified as a “commercial pool” and because of this change, the existing tile must be replaced with “Non-Skid” tile to remain open.  We have been waiting months for the County to issue this permit.
