    It's a miracle - we finally got plaster! They plastered us a couple of days ago...apparently the PB pushed the Plaster company "to take all measures necessary to dry up the pool and get it plastered". Not sure why we couldn't do that 3 weeks ago...still don't understand that. Pool is now...

    Re: Under construction in McKinney Tx Thanks - that is good to know. We are putting a section of flowerbed in between to create 2 different pathways from the existing patio and the decking...to create a break. But I do agree with you Cajun -- our stamped concrete patio gets hot (it's darker...

    Re: Under construction in McKinney Tx I was curious what kind of decking you have? We have an extension of our patio that we did a few years ago that is stamped concrete -- and we are looking to do sundeck for our decking. I was worried it would look strange having 2 different materials next...
