Working on setting up golf packages right now. Thanks. Next onto landscape lighting, then I think I am done.

Running behind in updates. Final gates went up today and landscaping is 95% done. If we actually have a sunny day I will post pics tomorrow. It has been a process. Not to all. Expect to be 20% over budget, even with good planning. Once the project started, it was lets add this, lets add...

The pavers are great. Different than what most builders use down here. Almost everyone uses Belgard products, they are the biggest distributor in the area. I found these pavers, Techo Bloc while searching online. They are based out of PA so it took a little to coordinate getting the product...

Plaster crew is gone and we are filling with water now. Landscaper will be here tomorrow to start the curbs, wall planters, and recessed kitchen area. I and I hope the weather holds here so we can keep moving forwards and get some use out of this pool before the real fall weather gets here.

Finally after 2 weeks of being rained out we are moving forward. Pavers are done and the first coat of plaster is on. A bit of advice, do not use sand if you have large grout line on your pavers. It is a mess. We need to go back now, clear out all of the sand and use polymetric sand instead...

Thanks. Not overly concerned about the money, more so the quality.

I know there are many different companies out there that will build a custom pool cover. We have a free form inground pool and I am looking for recommendations of companies that build these types of covers. Any input would be helpful. Thanks

I agree. Glad we decided to have the contractor not cut the pavers until we got back. So difficult to determine the size from a set of plans. We may be swimming by next Friday. Minus the huge landscaping project

So we took a few days away from the project and come back to this. Plumbed, electrical almost completed, bullnose, tile, and 1100 sq ft of pavers. We are waiting on the other 200 sq ft to be delivered. We decided to expand the deck area a little more.

Concrete shot yesterday. Plumbing and grading today.

The flooring is just brushed concrete with a brick inlay. There was an existing porch with a brick boarder, so when we expanded the porch, we used the same brick and broke the porch into 3 parts using the brick inlay as the divider.

Ready for inspection. Then weather permitting, shooting the shell on Tuesday.

Thanks. Both took a lot of work with the design. Had to make it fit in with the existing landscape. The woods to the left are wetlands and we did not want to be able to see the pool from the road. It is working out fairly well right now.

We are keeping the soil. We are using it to raise the surround grounds where the pavers are going. The backyard is on a small slope heading away from the pool. We will use the dirt to finish off the grade and ensure all rain water runs the direction we want. We have already run hard pipe to...
