Working on setting up golf packages right now. Thanks. Next onto landscape lighting, then I think I am done.

Running behind in updates. Final gates went up today and landscaping is 95% done. If we actually have a sunny day I will post pics tomorrow. It has been a process. Not to all. Expect to be 20% over budget, even with good planning. Once the project started, it was lets add this, lets add...

The pavers are great. Different than what most builders use down here. Almost everyone uses Belgard products, they are the biggest distributor in the area. I found these pavers, Techo Bloc while searching online. They are based out of PA so it took a little to coordinate getting the product...

Plaster crew is gone and we are filling with water now. Landscaper will be here tomorrow to start the curbs, wall planters, and recessed kitchen area. I and I hope the weather holds here so we can keep moving forwards and get some use out of this pool before the real fall weather gets here.

Finally after 2 weeks of being rained out we are moving forward. Pavers are done and the first coat of plaster is on. A bit of advice, do not use sand if you have large grout line on your pavers. It is a mess. We need to go back now, clear out all of the sand and use polymetric sand instead...

Thanks. Not overly concerned about the money, more so the quality.

I know there are many different companies out there that will build a custom pool cover. We have a free form inground pool and I am looking for recommendations of companies that build these types of covers. Any input would be helpful. Thanks

I agree. Glad we decided to have the contractor not cut the pavers until we got back. So difficult to determine the size from a set of plans. We may be swimming by next Friday. Minus the huge landscaping project

So we took a few days away from the project and come back to this. Plumbed, electrical almost completed, bullnose, tile, and 1100 sq ft of pavers. We are waiting on the other 200 sq ft to be delivered. We decided to expand the deck area a little more.

Concrete shot yesterday. Plumbing and grading today.

The flooring is just brushed concrete with a brick inlay. There was an existing porch with a brick boarder, so when we expanded the porch, we used the same brick and broke the porch into 3 parts using the brick inlay as the divider.

Ready for inspection. Then weather permitting, shooting the shell on Tuesday.

Thanks. Both took a lot of work with the design. Had to make it fit in with the existing landscape. The woods to the left are wetlands and we did not want to be able to see the pool from the road. It is working out fairly well right now.

We are keeping the soil. We are using it to raise the surround grounds where the pavers are going. The backyard is on a small slope heading away from the pool. We will use the dirt to finish off the grade and ensure all rain water runs the direction we want. We have already run hard pipe to...

Thanks for the positive input. Builder had very good references. I just can't wait to see how the finished product turns out. He has never used the Techo-Bloc pavers and we were all over the place with color choice and patterns. We went real basic. I will keep the pictures coming. The...

That is the same response we got from our neighbor's children when they saw the drawings.

Hey guys. Been reading a lot over the past few months and we have decided to go ahead and pull the trigger on a pool. We broke ground yesterday and it is moving along fairly well. Biggest surprise so far is we did no hit any ground water. We sit very close to the water table hear at the...

Mostly pine trees. Where the pool sits it is fairly wide open so I would expect a little debris from the trees but not much.

We are finalizing up the options for our pool which should be under construction within the month. Looking at pool cleaners it is a tough choice to make. The pool setup is a free form, basically 3 circles 16ft in diameter overlapping one another in an 'L' shape, with salt water. Wet Edge...

No water features. Pretty basic is terms of not wanting to add items that may be more costly to fix later down the road. Living in the south east we are pretty hot from May through Sept so no heater, no hot tub. The video is a virtual layout of the pool and backyard area. Pool builder does...

We are looking into building out 1st pool. Virtual tour provided below. This is the setup recommended by the pool builder: Perimeter Feet: 120’ Steps : Per Plans Bench: Per Plans Surface SQFT: 658 SQFt Pool Depth: 3’ – 5’( With lounging area per plans 12” deep) Tile: Waterline 1” x 1” Matted...

Thanks for the input. I really did think the quote was high as an upgrade. He already had buit into the cost of the pool 2 500 watt lights. So an upgrade shouldn't be much more than the equipment cost needed.

We are in the process of finalizing up a contract with a local pool contractor. He has a pretty good reputation from several different references from homeowners to two different subs that have done work for him in the past, both fencing guys. While looking over his proposal there are a few...
