Re: New Build - IG Pool/Spa/Grotto - Little Elm,TX upd 08/13 Blue Granite looks teal? It will totally change with the chemicals. Don't worry yet!

Re: New Build - IG Pool/Spa/Grotto - Little Elm,TX upd 08/12 Pool (should be) filling Fantastic! It looks a lot like my color. Looking forward to seeing your water.

Re: New Build - IG Pool/Spa/Grotto - Little Elm,TX upd 08/10 PLASTER TOMORROW! Nice!

Thanks for the quick answer. Guess it will only be used while we are on vacation! Is there a reason why we shouldn't use it to disperse (just asking out of curiosity)?

Another random question. We have in inline chlorinator and was wondering if we could put stabilizer in a sock in it or baking soda, etc.

Just retested. PH: 7.2 (overshot a little. Hmm) FC: 5 (yeah baby!) CC: .5

Thanks, YippeeSkippy! I thought it was best to test CYA first thing in the AM? I have all the stuff just figured I would wait until in the morning. Just dosed pool to get ph down to 7.5 and FC to 5 (kind of a guess because I don't know exact CYA). Boy that MA is some scary stuff. Now I know...

Hi, all ... the pool builder has turned over the pool chemistry to us (I thought they were going to manage it a bit longer but ... that's a different story!). Feeling a bit overwhelmed but I know this whole testing routine will become second nature in time. So, posting my FIRST set of tests with...

Re: New Build - IG Pool/Spa/Grotto - Little Elm,TX upd 08/02 decking begins I think it took five days for our deck. Two for base and three for stones. It really feels like a lot of progress when they get to that point. Check to see if they are using polymeric sand between the pavers. They did...

Re: New pool build outside of Fort Worth, TX. Updated 7/23/16 Love the color of your water!

Well, they are done. Looks good but there are some areas that I am worried about. Is this mottling normal? Looking from the side. Looking back towards the house. Check out all the loose plaster hanging out on top of the seat. Coping is still dirty but I am assured it will clean...

Starting to clean up.

Resting before the truck gets here. They are fast. I took my first picture of them starting to do the actual plaster at 9:03. Here's where they are now at about 9:40.

They are here! The name of the plaster company is Adams/Barclay. They have a Pebbletec logo on the side of their truck.

Rain, rain go away. What did you ever decide to do about your sprinklers? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

We're getting plastered tomorrow!

Fence guy just stopped by to see the issues. There is going to be a lot of rework. The fence is 9" short in one spot, lots of spliced in boards and so many other issues that I can't even begin to explain. The best story was that when they built the retaining wall they didn't want to put a...

It's still over a week later than what we were told. I am not going to lie ... there was a fair amount of foot stomping, raised voices and not so nice words said to the Hauk team the last 48 hours. I was insisting they give us plaster today but obviously did not get my way. The fence guy...

Messing around with my water when I should be working.

The pool is beautiful! Looking forward to seeing a pic of your lit fire pit too.

Looks good! This is the really exciting part.

Yep. Hauk. I think I forgot to say we are getting plaster on MONDAY!

Update: after a lot of "discussion" with PB we met with our new PM today. We were transparent about the problems we've encountered and shared our expectations of how we will work going forward. The good news is that we are scheduled for plaster. And that will only change if there is an act of God.

The drama here in Plano continues. After not hearing from our PM since Friday I put in a call to the sales consultant to find out what is going on. It's on that call that I find out our PM is no longer with the company. It would have been nice to have someone call me instead of having to take...

New toys arrived today!
