New Pool Under Construction - Riverside CA

[JoshU]

Very nice progress - I really like the bar.

What did you end up doing about the tile work?

 

[Nightmare]

Oh, I guess I never posted the final photo of the spillway. I don't love it, but we couldn't come up with a better solution.

I made a sketch of what I liked, but it required every tile to be cut at least 2 times.

And here is the final product with the Coping

The Amulawood Patio Cover is installed. I found some lights at Lamps Plus that fit perfectly on the posts.

Retaining Walls passed inspection. It was $480 just for the "Retaining Wall Permit". I guess the county could have even charged for 2 permits since there are two separate walls.

As you can see these are very large retaining walls and probably required special engineering and inspections, not to mention soil evaluation, earthquake and tornado prep.


I guess the Pool Permit was only $420

More Palms

Looking pretty special there. Plaster and then Fill'er Up. I like the paver patio in the rear. Very nice.

 

[XsAllOverIt]

I like everything about it especially your view... Wish I had that!!!

 

[Nightmare]

More plants and palm trees yesterday. More rain today. There should be a ton of progress next week.

WOW! Thats a kickin' setup...... A true oasis

 

[mirage]

This is a really great looking escape!

 

[Flippy]

That is a great looking backyard. Keep the pictures coming.

We had a casualty yesterday

I tied up several of the palms next to the house, so the painters could get to the fascia. The winds kicked up an broke the triple King Palm

 

[Melt In The Sun]

Well shoot! Those are beautiful palms too; I wish we could grow them here. Any chance they'll replace them (without you having to buy new ones, of course)??

 

[Nightmare]

I told the guys to tie it up, so I'm sure it's my dime (or about 3000 dimes).

 

[Melt In The Sun]

At least it's only 3000 dimes....I was imagining far more, but I've never looked that the prices on those. I really like the crownshafted palms; too bad they're so wimpy in the cold.

Steve, i cant stop looking at this thread.......the design IS beautiful and the layout, landscaping, view,etc just blew me away.

Plaster is on the pool. I think it will all look a little different tomorrow after the power and acid wash. Most of the pebble seems to be covered in a thin layer of concrete.
