I had a fan today, little Paityn and her Barbie dolls were watching our every move. She did get a A Fish Out of Water book autographed by yours truly but she was camera shy so we could not get a good photo.

Yesterday, brand new liner in Norfolk MA

06/25/2025

My customer reached out to me. Told me and sent pictures of where his pool stopped leaking. He had hired another company who promised that his light was not leaking. Well, we discovered it was. Problem solved.

We figure we do 800 + pools a year. I was touched and at the same time saddened to get this message yesterday in my daily incoming texts. I am a mere ten years younger than this gentleman and I k own that one day I will be walking out of the last pool I will ever fix.
Thank you to everyone who has used my services over the years. I even love the occasional anti American trolls who come on here. When people expose themselves for what/who they really are I think to myself “mission accomplished.”
I plan to keep fixin’ pools for quite some time but wanted to share the message below that I got yesterday………….

This was kind of cool to get this text today. We are already swamped with work. Sad to see him “hanging up his weight belt”.

However father time and physical issues are making me hang up my weight belt (I'm 75). Getting calls daily and would like to have someone to refer my repeat customers to. Name is Arthur 508 525 ###x

FOR THE PUBLIC RECORD…
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My wife and I ARE Conservative Republicans.
We both support Donald Trump and voted for him three times 🇺🇸👍 a d we are proud of it and very happy with what he and bis staff are accomplishing.
A bunch of whack job Liberals have been arguing with me on F.B. as they post things about wanting to interfere with law enforcement, etc., in their crazy whacked out views of why they should do so . I briefly saw some ladies rant today where she said “if they are taken into custody, no one will be there to feed their pets “
Full blown lunatics every one of them. I have posted pictures of myself and Donna in our Trump shirts before I have stated on here that we are Republicans and Trump supporters. And I have also stated many times that if this bothers you, you are welcome not to use my services.
Thank you to all who have used me over the years I am sorry if my political views and desire for law and otter offend you enough not to want your pool fixed, but there are other people out there you can go to if this is the case otherwise shoot me a text and we’ll be able to get your pool all squared away for you. Have a great day everyone

My last job for one of James’ customers.

05/24/2025

Some of my customers or fellow pool guys may know James. I was working on one of his pools two days before his passing and was talking with him on the phone from the customer’s yard two days before he passed and there was no indication of anything wrong. As a matter of fact I asked him to do a few things to the pool before we’d be able to work on it. I have attached a video of the pool to this post.
Life is short my friends, I am blessed to be living the life now. Retired from a go nowhere but decent paying job of 38 years and still healthy enough to be working at my pool job and as a part timer in the funeral industry, a job that many have told me they could never do but I find very rewarding. I’ve got a great wife by my side who gets that I’ve worked years at nothing more than a job and I am now working (if you want to call it that) at what I love. I was out till 4:00 AM this morning in the driving rain and up at 7:00 and ready to start my pool day.
James whose obituary I have attached was a great pool guy if this makes sense, I could hear the smile in his voice each time we chatted to report in on pool work. He will be missed.

PLYMPTON- James A. Messier, 61, passed away on May 13, 2025. he was the husband of the late Deborah Gagnon Messier. James was born in Fall River and was the son of the late J. Vincent Messier and Doris Gamelin Messier. James was a graduate of Somerset High School and

New pool season, new truck, updated logo and lettering. Here’s the story.

04/16/2025

Some pre season work today. I got a call from a previous customer who can’t do a liner at this time and had several sun rot holes. Thes fixes are rarely pretty but I did what I could and hopefully bought them at least the season. Then the neighbor came over and said he had the same issue. So I made this one a 2fer.
Our season will officially begin on the second week in May and we’ve already got several jobs scheduled. Peek under those covers my friend. If your water isn’t higher than when you closed your pool up you may have a leak. Avoid the long wait and book now.

Hey friends, welcome to the 2025 pool season. As the nation begins to rebuild. 🇺🇸💪 we are getting ready for the beginning of the new season. We start work on or about May 1. The third week in April, I go to Florida every year and at some point there I will begin scheduling jobs for my return. Right now I have about 15 people waiting for the season to begin. So get out there and peek under the cover of your pool you should’ve gained water over the winter and if you didn’t, you likely have a leak. thankfully, I got no calls to dive into any ice covered pools this winter. We look forward to a busy season and hope we can take care of your pool for you if you need us. In case you were wondering what a Pool Guy does in the off-season I’ve actually taken a job with a funeral home and it’s been keeping me pretty busy .
