BigJD, I have 4 of the TIC Omni's around the pool and they are great. I don't have to turn the volume way up and the sound can be heard evenly throughout the pool area and decking as well. Greenhaw

Good job Karl. Anxious to see it all grouted in. Greenhaw

Shingar, You can tell her it hasn't changed one bit since she left. Greenhaw

Re: Your Opinions On This EQ, That is a very good point. I am now changing my opinion on which sun I like.

Re: Your Opinions On This Give me some suggestions on the sun: She prefers: I prefer: Tell me what you think. I can take it. :wave: Greenhaw

She is thinking about a sun like this: And I prefer a sun more like this guy: What do you guys think? Does anyone have a suggestion or a preference? Greenhaw

Re: Your Opinions On This Plan on doing a large sun on the roof. Will leave all the rust intact on the roof and just drop in a sun. Greenhaw

My grandfather built the barn in 1945... wish he could see it now. Greenhaw

I would have to agree with shcuck. We went with Hobert and everything went very smoothly. Communication was excellent. Greenhaw

We are thinking about putting some sort of sun on the roof. I wanted to add a sunset above the water but she is thinking on a large sun up on top. Thanks for the tip and keep'em coming. Greenhaw

Your Opinions On This Here is my wife's latest endeavor and addition to the pool area. Give me your comments and suggestions on the project. It is still a work in progress with a few more items to be added to the mural as well as some more detail. Notice the barn in the background of the...

Here is the latest addition the DW has been working on. Notice the barn in the background of the first picture: Once again notice the barn in the background. It is still a work in progress. She has a few more items to add and then finish up withe the detailing and accents of the...

Here are a few more with water, fence and some of the beds done: And the one that makes it all worthwhile- Some of the kids and grandkids: That is kinda where we are right now. The wife is working on another project and I will place it in the next post. Greenhaw

Wow it has been a while. As you all know, when the pool gets completed you seem to get real busy. We are now officially complete (sort of) and life is great. The construction phase went very well. Completed in just under six weeks and can't say enough good things about Hobert Pools as our...

Jaime, Although our pool is relatively new, we have had no problems with the bubblers. We enjoy the sound and the look and they run pretty much 100% of the time. The kids enjoy them also. We have seperate valves operating each bubbler and I would highly recommend the added valves. We also...

Jaime, Adding to PoolGuy's comments: We recently completed our pool and struggled with one or two LED's. We went with one LED and now regret the decision. $500 was the reason we went with one and not two and that would have been $$$ well spent if we had chosen the second light. If the pool...

shcuck, Your pool looks great. Seeing the pictures and videos bring back some fond, recent memories. Hobert finished our pool on 8/8/11, and we were 100% satisfied with the entire process of dealing with them. I think you made a good choice in builders and would recommend them to anyone. I...

It's been a while since any updates. Decking was poured on Monday, 8/1/2011 and the plaster should go in tomorrow morning. The decking is a stamped and stained concrete. Give me your thoughts on the finish. These pictures were taken the day of the pour and lots of staining powder still on...

I found the least expensive panels on craigslist. Not sure if that is available north of the border. Greenhaw

Star, I like what you have done so far. I like all the elevation changes around the edge. Greenhaw

Does anyone have any opinions on using wicker around the pool? My only experience is one 4 piece set my wife bought at Brookshires grocery store (pretty cheap) that we had under a covered patio and it only lasted about one year. Is the longevity on wicker very short or did she just buy a cheap...

I am having a ball valve installed on the overflow so I can keep it closed and not lose water from normal use and splashing. Will be able to open it when needed. Am I the only one that has done this? My PB wasn't big on overflows because of water loss and he suggested the ball valve. Greenhaw

It has been a few days since my last post. Had about a 12 day wait on the tile and coping, but got those installed yesterday- 7/18/2011. Electricians came and wired all the equipment, controller and light. Here are a few pics from the tile and coping: Clean up crew is coming...

We are currently waiting on the tile installers so I have about a 10 day wait during our construction phase. I am contemplating an outdoor shower for around the pool and would like your comments/ concerns about the installation: 1.Do they get used enough to justify? 2.Are you plumbed with hot...

Gina, I too have a well and was wanting to fill with the well water. For me the metals were not a problem but the water was extremely hard. The TA and CH were both off the chart. You may want to go ahead and invest in the TF-100 test kit and at least you would know what you are dealing with...

Murray, I am currently in the middle of construction. If you are looking for another company for comparison, I would highly recommend Hobert as an alternative. They have been excellent to work with, timely on each step and communication has been excellent. Their price was very competitive...

A simple wall, lattice with climbing vines or bushes between the pump and the pool would also provide somewhat of a sound barrier. Greenhaw

No rocks, red clay all the way to the bottom. At this point, we are now wetting down the gunite 3-4 times a day; to slow down the curing process and adding strength to the gunite. Will do this for the next 7-10 days while waiting for tile and coping to be installed. Greenhaw

Not sure I would want to tackle that project alone... but it appears that you did a great job. Greenhaw

Very nice finish work Jack. Isn't it nice living in the country. Greenhaw
