    Has anyone used Jewelscapes Peyto?

    Thank you. I found that as well. Was hopeful that someone here had used and had photos. The forum style has changed and it's a little tougher to do a search it seems.

    Has anyone used Jewelscapes Peyto?

    Trying to find some images of Jewelscapes Peyto. Anyone use it or have any photos to show me? I built a pool in Frisco, TX 4 years ago. I posted a build thread. I ended up using Pebble Sheen in Blue Surf. Well, since then we moved to Edmond, Ok and our home we bought has a 9 year old pool...

    Fence staining; makes a HUGE difference

    This is probably a no brainer, but when I was going back and looking at photos of our build I noticed again just how big of an improvement the entire yard and pool looked after our staining of our fence. It sounds silly, but you forget just how worn out and ratty it looks, then you see picture...

    Just getting started in Frisco, TX

    We're in Frisco as well and used Robertson. Loved them and they ended up doing two of our neighbors as well after they did ours. Luckily we have a lot of good builders in this area! We're at 423 and Stonebrook parkway, where are you at?

    Photos of our "Blue Surf"

    yes, I think so, there was also a surface called "Antigua" funny enough by a brand our builder didn't use. So this seemed closest. We did a few bags of Abalone and that helped too. Actually wish we'd have done 1 more bag, love the sparkles and it refracts enough the surface will look like...

    Photos of our "Blue Surf"

    So, it's been a while since i've posted. But we've now had the pool for about 9 months here in Frisco Texas. I know when we were choosing our surface there just weren't many photos of Blue Surf from PebbleTec, so here's some photos! We absolutely love the color. We vacation often to Antigua and...

    Frisco, TX Start Up complete 10/26/16 *updated with pics*

    Thank you for all the comments, we're very happy! OK to answer some questions.. We do like the tri jet very much! The only thing I'd do differently on the spa is put the seats down about 3" more. We did not seal our travertine. Perhaps we will later but in speaking to several masons, all...

    800 a bag for abalone?

    We did Pebblesheen Blue Surf with 2 bags of Abalone and it looks awesome. Very happy with it. Even wish we'd have done a 3rd bag honestly.

    Best App for Pool Math?

    Is there a good app for Pool Math? I should get my TF100 monday, but was just doing basic stuff and installed Pool Pal. Is this one good? Frankly it's just easier to use an app on a phone than to use the poolmath website when I'm outside.

    Re: New Frisco, TX Pool Build Updated decking 10/9/16 they actually built the first portion with Gunite then are building the middle 18" up with block. I'm not sure why exactly. Maybe easier down the road if they need to work on the scuppers? Good question, I just don't know the answer LOL

    Re: New Frisco, TX Pool Build Updated decking 10/9/16 I absolutely hate it and I've continually complained. We have cleanup scheduled Thursday but I agree it's lazy and looks terrible, not to mention it creates more work for them. So glad to get it out.

    Lightstreams Steel Blue-grout color

    I have the exact same tile and we used spectralock #91 Slate Gray. The twilight blue was also a very close color from the same company. You can see our grout in my build thread
