Here goes a couple photos of him. My wife is doing great emotionally and physically. We are only 3 miles from the hospital so it makes it nice and convenient and we go 2-3x a day up and visit him. Regarding the fence, it is a cedar fence. It was put up about a month ago and it will age but...

Good Morning everyone, Sorry for the late replies and not posting as many pictures at the later stages. It's been crazy around our household the last month. Finished our new construction home, completed the pool, and our 2nd son was born June 2nd (3) month premature. Been a bit hectic. It's...

Thanks for the positive words! Pavers go in on Wednesday! Can't wait. The pool already looks totally different after seeing the concrete poured. I told my wife just 1 day at a time.... she has been there for 2 weeks, will be there until delivery. Hopefully 3+ more weeks atleast.

Thx for checking in. We have been idle the last 2 weeks due to rain. My wife is on bedrest in hospital, finishing new construction home, so pool has been secondary to say the least. Lol. They guys installed rebar last week and received permits from city. They poured the concrete today...

Old thread, but still great info! I am looking for plants to go on the back side of our pool (Around waterfall, weeping rocks, raised decking in back) and the (3) planters. We are in Houston, TX area. So far we are planning to do Spineless Yuccas (2) behind weeping rock/waterfall...

Question, We originally had drawn in the plans to have the travertine pavers come off the far end of the covered patio at about roughly 45 degree angle towards the splash pad. We are planning to have a big table under the cathedral patio and then couch inder the other covered patio . I...

Good Morning to all.... what a crazy few weeks its been from being 90% done with construction of new house, wife been on bedrest now for 3 wks and 22 wks pregnant, oh and then building a pool, and a thing called work. :) With all the rain here in Texas its been hard to finish many projects...

This is what my wife and I have come up with thus far. It's been a compromise.... LOL. We are going to use both the removable fence with a gate, along with black wrot iron fence going @ the back half of the pool, with a gate. Down the line when the kids get older we can eliminate the...

Good Evening, I'm set to meet with two different pool fence builders this week. One specializes in traditional fences like wrot iron fences. The other is one of the removable mesh fences. Here is my thought. We have a 2 yr old, and another on the way. I expect we will want/need a fence...

This is what we are thinking for the spa spillover.

Here is the one change we decided to make. Wife wants the blue tiles removed that are in the spillover coming from the spa. Wants the (1) larger piece of flat stone similar to the color of spa (Tiramisu ) Any reason we shouldn't make this change? Im looking for the picture we sent the PB.

Yeah its a big pool.... I think once the PB knew it was a 1 acre lot he had wiggle room without dealing with easements etc. Yeah the LED Bubblers were cool but couldn't justify the cost (After already hitting the high end of budget). I did inquire about waterfall lights but once again was...

I told the Supervisor that the tanning ledge was not the 7' it was suppose to be. More like 6'.6". He had the gunite guys back out and add more to the tanning ledge and stairs below it to make it all even and correct. We havr had massive rains all this week and it was a mudpit so I couldn't get...

I was SHOCKED when I heard the price of the LED lights. I honestly don't know the exact make and model and I'm sure that differs. But we are going with Jandy equipment and LED niche lights. They have the 9 colors on them. I'm pretty sure I saw on the PB's personal cost sheet $235 each. I...

I wish I had stumbled upon this website before I went and sat down with the pool builder. I knew nothing about pools.... I agreed to most everything the PB told me I needed. While I did research, it was not on this site and it seemed more sales brochures etc. My biggest regret was not having...
