Judging by the picture which is already days old….its a bit late now. The work done.
I believe there was genuine repairs to be done, now wether the pool guy is qualified is a different question.
They painted the bottom blue.....like a swimming pool. The pool is supposed to reflect the Washington Monument and/or the Lincoln Memorial not be a big blue batch of water.
I genuinely thought it was called that because you went there to reflect upon matters / yourself. Didn't know it was literal.
"I am 'ere ... to clean ze pool!"

“I’m here to distract from…i mean fix the pool?”
