That's going to be one killer pool! Absolutely love the geometric shape and the right angle corners. Clean, sharp and classic. The free-form design with the token grotto is so overdone these days IMO.

Good for you, man. :goodjob:

Looks great, when I saw the first picture of the shallow end pool, I thought...boy that is shallow. Then I saw the picture with the guys standing in it and realized how big it was :shock: .

By the way, what Kamado cooker is that?

Looking good! I like your deep end steps; that's a neat way of doing it. If you have any specific questions or concerns, feel free to ask :goodjob:

What kind of finish are you getting? Diving board?

Thanks, we will have a water feature with a slide and jump rock. We have
also decided to add a toilet and sink in the equipment room.
Edit- plain white plaster, pretty boring. :sleep:

Really like the flagstone path and patio. It compliments the stone on your house nicely. AND that's the first time I've seen a wooden door on a BBQ. I never would've thought of that and I'm probably going to copy your idea. Hope you don't mind!
