Yeah, according to the president, the project will dramatically improve the iconic site.
We scrubbed the surface of the existing [music] granite that's been there since 1922.
We then grouted all of the granite, fixed it [music] up, took about 2 weeks.
And now we have a nice clean surface on which we're putting a industrial-grade swimming pool topping.
And they [music] said, "What color would you like, sir?"
It's called American flag blue, I said, "That's the color [music] I want."
The president says the renovation will cost about 1 and 1/2 million dollars and take roughly a week to complete.
