Love how it’s coming along!!!

Wow, and PB1 wouldn’t adjust their price?

One other thing... PB1 has a grotto and weeping wall, but it looks like PB2 only has the weeping wall, but no grotto. Not sure how much of a cost difference that would be though.

I agree, both designs look great! I don’t think you could go wrong with either one. But PB 1 would definitely need to adjust their pricing. That’s a very large gap between the two.

Awesome ideas!! And it's funny because those are most of the trees/shrubs we have picked out :-) Except I want to do a mix of Cherry Laurel and Texas Mountain Laurel :-) The landscaping in your yard is gorgeous! Yes, I'm starting to see that I need to stock up on bleach until I get the SWCG...

Boy, ph is all over the place! But we finally have some FC!! New numbers

Hi Kim Ph number is correct. It’s darker red than the 8.2 mark. Also, I have the electronic ph tester with the deluxe kit I bought from the site. And it’s been very accurate. I’ll look for the dates on the bottles. I had no idea I would need that much bleach, lol

Thank you Kim!! Here are my numbers after adding 75oz of chlorine and 96ozs of muriatic acid. And I added 64ozs of baking soda. We just added another 46ozs of chlorine (the rest of the jug... heading out to buy more now) because the FC level didn’t budge.

Wow, that looks incredible!

Thank you both soooo much!! I added chlorine and after 20 minutes my husband did the muriatic acid. I will test the levels in about an hour. And see what needs to be adjusted. We are picking up our German Shepherd and Great Dane/catahoula/greyhound mix from board and train today. They haven’t...

Okay, the PB said we could take over the chemicals. Here are the readings I took today What should I add? We have people coming to swim tomorrow and Sunday. Pool school was supposed to be today, but got rescheduled until Tuesday. So I have had no guidance from the PB other than to put a...

I’m glad you are all safe!!

Lol! I’m fine. I’m always accident prone... I find cracks to trip over that aren’t even there.

It is looking awesome! Love the grotto and the coping!

Hi Goob... It is 19.5 inches tall. We wanted a taller fire pit so we could use it as seating when it didn't have a fire. We also wanted to be able to sit on the outside bench and easily roast marshmallows without bending over the fire :-). It's been a great height. Hopefully, it will...

LOL... I was going to do one of the brush duties each day, but my husband said I couldn't because I'm too accident prone. Which is true. I've already managed to fall over one of the pipes sticking up and almost broke my ankle. He doesn't want me walking the elevated wall and falling...

Hi, it is NorthShore Tahoe. We chose it because we were told that the grey pebbles would make the water more of a turquoise/aqua color and that is color we are seeing. We didn't like pictures of the tanning ledge and spa with the grey pebble, but when we saw it in person it is actually very...

Husband is brushing twice a day with the wall whale brush. Water is turning a beautiful shade of turquoise/aqua blue. I absolutely LOVE the cascading spillway... it has the most soothing sound!

Thanks Maddie! Unfortunately our HOA refuses to allow us to add any height to the fence so we can only go with trees/shrubs :-(. Any suggestions on what to plant in the small amount of space we have? If you look at my first post of the renderings we are going to follow landscaping lines that...

Thank you!! I looked up Acid start up, and it does seem like that’s what the PB did. And we do have pebble plaster and it seems that’s a common way to do it.

That’s insane! I hope you and your family are safe and that the water doesn’t continue to rise.

Just filled up the pool yesterday morning. These were my readings after the pool was filled. Today the PB came and added chemicals. We saw him add muriatic acid. And there was some kind of white powder put in. He said he shocked the pool. The pool will be running 24/7 for the next week...

That is insane!!! We are in Fort Worth, so out of the path of Hurricane Harvey... stay safe!!!!!

YES... please give us suggestions!! We are so lost on landscaping! We need something that tolerates Texas heat and our SWCG pool. Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated!! And yes, we are ecstatic at how fast our pool build has been. Four weeks from excavation to water [emoji4]...

And we have water!! These are my first water test results. So, what do we need to add or do first? The pool finished filling at 5am this morning. We probably won’t get the equipment turned on until tomorrow. Also, we still have a LOT of blue plaster showing all over (the pebble we...

Thank you so much! We love it! Thank you Cliff! Hi! We went with Wet Edge Satin Matrix in the color NorthShore Tahoe

I know, right?! I pestered my poor husband for pictures and videos all day :eek:.

Yes, it has only been a month since they broke ground, so a very fast build! The blue color will mostly come off with the acid wash. We chose NorthShore Tahoe Pebble from Wet Edge, and it's a grey colored pebble that should produce a very pretty darker blue color with water in it. Although...

Annnnd we have PLASTER!!! They were originally scheduled to show up today, then rescheduled it for Saturday. But they drove up this morning as I was leaving for work! I thought they would have to cancel because it was raining, but my husband said they hung out for an hour until the rain...

I know [emoji22]. They brought in sand and dirt for the yard after clearing out the debris and put the fence back up yesterday. They are supposed to come tomorrow to fix a couple of minor things. Then clean and prep the pool on Thursday. And we are tentatively scheduled for plaster on a Friday...
