I have SWG and travertine coping and travertine pavers and do not plan to seal either

Thanks. I was really happy with the end result especially given that I was not on the ground for the build at all. When I arrived during Xmas time the only thing left to do was the glass beads and water fill. So I was a bit anxious during the entire build as receiving pics every now and then...

I have not used any lounge chairs yet. Mainly kids play area for now but 9" is not that deep so low lounge chairs should work fine. Yes, the bubblers work just fine with 9" of water. I mean they aren't spraying out like a fountain but they bubble enough to give the effects and sound I want and...

I have two sun decks. One is 9" deep with two bubblers and the other one is 18" deep and meant for adults to be able to sit there and relax with water coming up chest high

Here are a few pics of my pebble finish. I ended up using NPT Jewelscapes all glass beads (aquamarine).

Love the glass! Is it hard to keep clean?

So I have a question I was hoping some of you experts with experience can help me on. There are two things I am still deciding on. (1) pool operation controls: Originally I opted for the wall mount control panel inside the house combined with spa side remote. However, when they wanted to drill...

With HK real estate prices, I've been a renter for the last 10 years. It is very difficult to leave Florida and the new pool and house especially since it's about 5x bigger than our tiny apartment in HK but unfortunately the job is in HK.

The next project for the deck is an outdoor kitchen. Planning on putting it against the wall in the covered lanai under tha balcony. There is already pre-plumbing on the wall for a sink and water.

Thanks! Unfortunately it's a vacation home for now until I find a way to move back to Naples permanently from Hong Kong. - - - Updated - - - Thanks Kim. The deck extends 19ft from the farthest point of the house. The balcony is off a game room upstairs. Yes it is hard to leave the house after...

Happy New Year everyone! Here are a few pics I took on the last day of 2015.

It's two stories. I would say over 25ft. I will take wide angle pics with my big boy camera tomorrow morning

Only pic I've taken. Will take more soon.

Custom skimmer cover done today. I will post filled pool pics soon.

Quick question for anyone that has used pebble whether stone or glass or combo. Is it normal for some of the glass beads to fall off? I was walking in the pool as it was filing and I noticed my feet feeling some random pieces of the glass beads that have come off. I suppose perhaps this is normal?

Acid wash is bring out the bling! Very happy with going with all glass beads! Can't wait until water goes in today.

Thanks Kim. I can't wait to see if it turns out like the sample.

Christmas Eve and the crew was finally installing the pool interior. Still needs acid wash before filling. Hoping to have this done on Saturday and have a pool ready to swim by Monday next week. After they washed off the surface with water a lot of the glass beads were showing. I can't wait...

Yes the plan is to have pool service maintain the pool before I permanently move in. I am flying to Florida for the holidays and arrive late December 16th. Trust I will be at the house first thing dec 17 morning to check on the pool. I seriously cannot wait. There have been minor delays as...

After over two weeks, I was finally able to get someone to go take pictures of the progress on my pool. Two weeks until target completion date that PB promised but seems like a lot to do still. Next week will be equipment and lights. The following week will be jewelscape glass bead and two...

Quick question guys...if I am using jewelscape (all glass beads) for the pool surface, does it need brushing? I keep reading here on various threads that you must brush after the surface is installed. My PB tbasically said hey fill the pool he day after the glass beads are installed and that's...

Thanks Kim. This was very helpful. I asked my PB about the suggested break in period where no swimming is allowed. He told me that is not the case since I am using jewelscape glass beads I can swim right away.

I'll be staying there for the holidays only for now. Ultimate plan is to stay here full time but that may be some time away still

They told me that the most important thing is to get the travertine on the footer that borders the entire deck. That will be done early next week. This way the screen enclosure guys can come measure and start fabricating the two story screen enclosure that will be installed. Apparently this...

With all the 24x12 travertine on site now, the pool is ready for tile, coping and decking!

Couldn't agree more. I am in he middle of building now. I have a SWG and am using ivory 24x12 travertine coping. It's what I like

Really? I thought 18" depth would be too deep for loungers but good to hear that it works. My intention was to make it a different depth compared to my other sun deck that is 9" deep. I figured 18" is like a kiddy pool and a nice wading pool for adults to sit and relax.

Thanks! It took a lot of going back and forth to get to the final dimensions. I knew I wanted a more modern geometric shaped pool. The reason I positioned the sunshelf with the bubblers and the spa on the left side of the pool was to have an open full length lane of the pool for swimming the...

Latest pics...not much development. All I see is prep work for footers surrounding the border of the pool deck getting reading for screen enclosure. Also prep work for water line tile.

So my PB sent me confirmation that pool shell was complete...which means my next payment is due :-)
