Has anyone had any experience with water proofing their new gunite pool prior to plaster? Or if anyone is a builder and has knowledge of it, or if anyone has been pitched by a builder that has knowledge. I unexpectedly had additional time waiting for plaster and have started researching doing...

Hopefully this link works correctly. I'm thinking of the Azure Treasure from Wet Edge in the Primera Stone. Other considerations were the Grigio Treasure and the Rivera Coast. Wet Edge | Products | Azure Treasure Wet Edge | Products | Grigio Treasure Wet Edge | Products | Riviera Coast The...

I was wondering what I had to do to get your input on my build. :D

I didn't think that building a pool would be so stressful. Getting the color/style/design of all the finishes is difficult when you have no foundation to go off of. We have made some progress from last post. The center portion of the wall had some late changes. We were going to use an antico...

I am going with the Wet Edge Primera Stone for the plaster. If anyone happens to read this, and has any input i would love to hear it (color input as I have set my mind on the primera stone for its look and feel) I am wanting a blue water that makes you want to jump in without taking your...

Coping still going in. Today the back wall split face travertine almost got finished. Electrician ran all his lines. Final choice for hot tub glass tile made, as well as the column tiles. Pics below Split face travertine Hot tub tiles

This pool turned out awesome. I tried to read all 79 pages.....but couldnt make it lol. I noticed you are doing fire bowls, which I am doing as well. Wondered if you found a good place to lool for them or if you already got them what they look like?

Yes Ma'am, we have made great progress. I have been out of town for 8 days, but my guys kept the momentum going. I have the gunite installed (actually before i left town), all plumbing ran, and the coping started today. Plumbers are supposed to set all the equipment tomorrow, electrician is...

More progress. It has been an extra day for plumbing prior to rebar for the in ground system, but now rebar is in. They are installing the plumbing jets, lighting, accent lighting conduit, and gas line tomorrow then getting gunite Saturday.

Finally got started. Progression photos from today. First piece of dirt removed....exciting moment View from the balcony. The guys were awesome and made good time Tanning ledge and hot tub pad Finished and ready for next stage. If you build it, they will come....

Am I correct in saying that if I want to spend the least amount of my time adding liquid bleach and testing, then it would be best for me to go with a SWG?

I do remember reading a thread where someone asked for pics. My brother built a SWG pool here in 2005. Unfortunately his ex-wife now has that pool and maintains it as well as a pig in a mudhole, but his flagstone is in the same shape as it was brand new. I however, saw a customer of ours pool...

I am just finalizing my 1st pool build, and prior to finding this forum I was completely sold on a standard tab system with U/V and ozone. I see so many people on here that love their SWG systems. I have read many many post on here where this subject comes up, but many of them are old. I have...

Also, if anyone has any ideas as to where I should put the lights if they need to move, I would be interested in opinions. I dont like the idea of them being in the swim lane, but i dont want dark areas either. I thought maybe 1 could go under the tanning ledge, and 1 in the 2nd step of the...

This will by my first pool to own, and now my first pool to build. I have the plans below and would love to hear some insight. I will be beginning as soon as I get my last quotes back. Once i have everything set in stone, I will add my info to my signature. I plan to use Hayward pumps and...
