    Really need advice on a very large remodel project

    That would be devastating and I definitely take the story to heart. Thank you for the warning.. if this is the route I go down, I'll definitely spend more time than I originally anticipated on finding the proper material. From my research so far, epoxy is the way I want to go for grouting. It...

    Really need advice on a very large remodel project

    Awesome, thank you man. I'm going to use your advice to kickstart my research into this. I'm going to look around for other material that may work as an edge as well. I personally like the more modern, clean lines that you see in concrete or wood (even the new hybrid stuff). I also recognize...

    Really need advice on a very large remodel project

    Yea, I tried that initially but I wasn't having much luck. From what I understand, there are only 2 plaster companies in town that do pools and I couldn't find them. Going to give it another shot and see if I can't unearth them though. Saving $9k on rock is awesome man! Sounds like we have a...

    Really need advice on a very large remodel project

    To clarify, when I said "Lose my shirt" regarding the house, I just I meant that we would lose a lot of money *if* we had sell due to relocating. I didn't mean that we'd lose the house itself (we are fine and fortunate, but thank you for your concern :)). As of right now, we arent certain we...

    Really need advice on a very large remodel project

    Heh, yep! Oh, when it comes to some stuff ebay can be awesome. poolproducts.com actually has a subsidiary company set up specifically to deal with competition on ebay. (I figured it out once I realized their warehouses were in the same location). Their CS rep admitted to it when I asked about...

    Really need advice on a very large remodel project

    Yea, I really didn't (and don't) know how to take care of them. I cleaned up one but it looks really scraggily now. If I manage to keep the trees then I'm going to hire an expert to come show me how to properly take maintain.

    Really need advice on a very large remodel project

    I personally don't like the look of the deck at all :(. I hate the fact that the stones are plastered together. I've gone as far as to risk life and limb by suggesting to my wife we rip it all out, sell the stones on craigslist, and put down a legit deck. I'm still alive but needless to stay, I...

    Really need advice on a very large remodel project

    Wow, thanks for all of the awesome comments and suggestions so far! I'm going to try and be as diligent as I can answering all of the feedback and questions. Before I do though (don't want it to get buried in my responses) I have a question that I'm having a hard time finding online. When it...

    Really need advice on a very large remodel project

    Alright guys, I seriously need some advice here (and greatly appreciate any/all you give, even if it's burn it down and get out). My wife and I bought our house a few years ago. We are young, dumb, and naive. We didn't get a pool inspection, our inspector told us the wall wasnt that big of a...
