    Thanks Kim, As soon as the pool builder turns the pool over to me for care (two -three weeks) I will be getting some of these items for its care. Thanks again.

    Thanks- Here are some final pictures. The water is up to the tile in these but filled shortly after. This has been a great experience. Now only need to get the law cleaned up, re-stain the deck and close the fence and they will be done. The pool is fabulous. Now- if it will just stay warn...

    Decided to show one more video of Riley playing in the pool while filling. The video is short but shows her absolute love for the water. So exciting for us.

    Thanks to all. I will post a few overall pictures later on when i get home. Riley is the apple of our eye. She is so much fun to be around and just oozes personality. She stayed in the pool for about an hour as it was filling and had so much fun. She slept like a baby last night- on the...

    The color is called Petite Tahoe Blue- but for some reason it looks grey when they apply.

    Kim, The locks on the screens are up high. Additionally, code requires a child barrier fence which will span from the existing patio (thereby protecting the sliders) and fencing near the screen doors as well. Should be well covered. We will consider alarms when we have Grands (in the...

    Another great day in the world of pool building. Today we had our screened porch both assembled (yesterday) and attached to the house. Here are some pics. Also got the equipment mounted a few days ago but no pictures with me currently so they will have to wait. This is getting close to being...

    Riley is a rescue (of course). We had just lost our 14 year old Border Collie and decided we were going to do without a dog for awhile. We were heartbroken and thought it would be some time before we could have another dog. But my wife went to work a few days later and one of her co-workers...

    At about 1 and 1/2 years old Riley is a Bahamian Potcake dog. She is full of energy and loves to play with anything and anybody. She has no enemies (but barks nonetheless at everything) but only friends she has not met. She has expressive eyes and is a confirmed bed hog. My wife and I share...

    Ok- We are close now. The pb topped the deck today and we are very happy with the product. Hoping we can get it done in the next couple of weeks. All that is left is the screen, equipment hookup and interior of the pool including the gemcoat and table top. Here are a few pictures of the...

    Dreynolds- We an see the light at the end of the tunnel and I think it might not actually be a train. They topped the deck today and hoping to get this thing done in the next few weeks. I am going to post pics of the deck. Please let me know what you think.

    Yes. His name is Keith. Super nice guy. I hired his Son, Dennis to contract to take out my knee wall on the patio so it would open things up. He did a really good job. I love my PB but seems like things somethimes move a little slower than I would like. I am a little impatient to get it...

    Thanks KimKats. I have a call in to discuss with builder and I may even be a little premature because I showed him what I wanted and he knows so I am sure it will get done but I can't have that on my shiny new pool. Other than that I am happy with the deck. There are a few spots they will...

    Woohoo- I just got home and BAM- I have the beginnings of our patio. Here are some pictures. I am particularly interested in what people think about the photo I have labeled transition problem. Sould I go with a tile there or hope the Kooldeck provides some depth and looks finished. One way...

    HR- I think he is the only tile guy and yes I liked him very much but I cannot for the life of me remember his name. How long before you are done? - - - Updated - - - I didn't need to water my Gunite after they sprayed it- Mother Nature did that just fine. Poured for a week after it was...

    Thanks- Wish I could take credit for the tile but it was the wife's decision. The initial thought was to go with something busier but thinking about re-sale down the road we decided to go conservative. The tile is glass. Thanks for checking in.

    KimKats- I believe they are going to pour right there but also interested to see. Yes- they have some pcs of rebar set aside which you can't see in the photo but they are for the table. The tile on top will be the same as in the pool but there will be some patern or design. Originally thought...
