Welcome to the forum.

Looks like it's going to be great! You're off to a good start, and you've got a nice window of dry weather to work in too. Hopefully the rain will stay away through gunite for you.

 

[kimkats]

I love the shape!

What state do you live in? That info is very helpful.

Do you know what colors you will be using?

We would be glad to help you pick them out if you have not already done so.

Welcome! Love to see new pool threads... keep those pics coming!

Are you *sold* on that ozonator? They aren't actually all that useful in outdoor pools (because the UV from the sun both works better and is free!) and you might be able to save the cost of it and splurge on something else? Maybe a robot or something??

You will also want to ditch the Nature 2 system. It will add metals to the water which is to prevent algae, but chlorine does the same thing. Metals can stain your pool and I THINK can turn hair green. Plus, from what I remember, the cartridges are expensive. So if you ditch ozone and Nature 2, you might save enough to add something extra to your pool!

 

[TT300ZRCR]

interesting so its better to ditch the ozone and nature 2 setup.

i am going with the mini stonescapes in tahoe blue matched up to a borba turqoise tile.

 

[TT300ZRCR]

plubming is almost complete as well with the installation of the equipment pad and pressure test. Waiting on the inspection from the city now.

Also i was wondering about soil injection. Does anyone use that as a service provided to prevent issues.

In talking to the concrete guy I will probably use, he offers soil injection and said it's a good idea. But I won't be doing it because we don't have the extra money for that. I was told $2.50/sq ft, I think.

 

[Helen203]

What is going on with the power lines leading to your pool?

And your brick fence looks great!!

 

[TT300ZRCR]

power hasnt been run yet.

the soil injections was addon negoiated in the price but not sure if it would be needed everyone in my area never got it done and seems to hold up fine.

 

[Helen203]

But what happens to the poles heading right to your house?

 

[Marlahoutex]

Helen, I'm guessing his power is run overhead so the poles will stay.

I would love to see the sample of your tile next to the stonescapes. Do you have pics?

I know in my neck of the woods in Texas you absolutely cannot build a pool under power lines. We had to pass on several homes when we were looking because of this issue and trying to build a pool.

 

[Marlahoutex]

Flippy, in Houston you have to be a certain number of feet away - I think it's a 22' diagonal easement from the water line to the power line.

These were homes in Katy when we were looking. We ended up buying a house already with a pool in Richmond.

 

[TT300ZRCR]

those poles are 15 ft from the brick line. they dont connect to anything on my property we have underground power feeding from the front of the house.

What is soil injection?

 

[TT300ZRCR]

from what i am told it is injection process into the soil to stabalize the ground and help prevent cracking this builder i am using has seen great results in my soil area. He has been building since the 1986
