Thank you! We have gone back and forth a ton of times whether we liked it or not. In the end we like it a lot now the project is close to completion.
Finally going to start the concrete forming next week!

Eyetatto,
Just caught your post. Congrats on your new pool!! Beautiful design! I love the coping and options for the pool bottom. I would have to agree with KimKats, the Blue Indigo and Mediterranean are the two that catch my eye. I would like to take a closer look at these two options when I finally re-finish my pool. Thank you for posting the pics, wet/dry and in the actual tub of water. Please post up pics once your pool is done, I would love to see the actual finished product!
I see you went with Burkett's Pool Plastering, I am located in Tracy CA and sometime in the future will need to re-finish my pool. I've seen their trucks around. How did you like them? Satisfied with their work, workmanship? Any negative/positive reviews? You're welcome to PM with any concerns you may have had with them if that is the case. Thanks!

Plankton,
Thank you for the kind words about our pool! Things are finally starting to come together now that the rain is holding off.
Burketts was awesome, they showed up early and stayed late to get the job done in one day. They will also be applying the Wet Edge in a few weeks.
I was referred to them from my assistant. They did a complete replaster and new decking and she just can't say enough about how much better it is now vs the original job done 20 years ago from Swan. I would highly recommend them!!

Ok TPF we need your help once again! We are looking for ideas for our colored concrete pool decking. Our concrete guy is going to upgrade us to stamped at very little cost so now we are down to color. My wife kinda likes the color of the crushed rock base we have now but I am worried about heat. What do you guys think?
I would go lighter. See if you can find some different samples at a landscape place to stand on in the sun.
That is looking awesome!

With all the shakes we have in CA, i would go as light as possible so the contrast from the cracks will be less visible.
I would also suggest pavers instead, for my build pavers were ~1$ sqft higher then stamped concrete.

Luckily we don't get too many shakes here in the mountains. I think I want a little lighter than the crushed gravel and maybe slightly darker with the color powder they finish with. Gotta find a picture of something we both will like. No pavers for us as we have already blown our budget out of the water by a good 30%, haha!
I almost can't believe it!!! The first day of pouring concrete is here. After so many delays and no shows we finally have progress again. I'll post more pictures as the process moves along. Exciting day!!

Thank you! These last few weeks have been so stressful on us, we just cannot wait for it to be done.

The heat has slowed down the concrete but we are still making progress. Maybe one or two more days before the decking is complete!! Then we are less than a week from swimming, so relieved!!
