Looks great.

Now how about some warmer weather?!

What water arches are those? Mine don't stay that tight. I like yours!

Thanks.

Pentair Laminar MagicStream. Great at night as they have led's built in. Laminar flow is required to allow the light to travel the entire length of the stream, hence the tightness. Kids love 'em....actually, so do we.

Thanks for the info on the arches. I will have to see how big a pain it is to switch mine out. Mine work well but have a little spray to them.

Great pool! Could you post a picture showing the pool tile? You had a nice close up pre-completion, but would be nice to see it with the water! Thx!

Thanks! Sorry for the delay....my point and shoot is out of commission. At any rate, I'll include 3 general and 3 detail pics. Tile details (product name/number) are in one of my previous posts. Enjoy!

Really like the way the light dances off the darker tile in the sunlight. Chose a lighter plaster (Sunstone Super Blue) for contrast.

Thanks! Looks awesome!

noticed that your decking reinforcement is basically laying on the subgrade rendering it useless and subject to oxidation and eventual deterioration. It should have been lifted a couple of inches for proper encasement and functionality. (Midway, 4 inch deck = 2 inch lift to run welded wire right through the middle of the deck) Just like the rebar for the gunite is set about three inches above subgrade for its proper encasement by the gunite. That being siad, I think your backyard is a mini paradise! Great concepts and as most everyone else has said, I too like the curved beam for the spa!

Had a conversation with the PB about this one before they poured the deck. I assumed they lifted it on the day of the pour, as doing so any sooner would have rendered it impossible to walk on. I wasn't there for the pour but trust that was done. Agree, it would otherwise serve no purpose. Thanks!!!

Although, interestingly, not sure how they would have done that with the forms in for the brick expansion joints.....you are then likely right. I'll ask but not much I can do at this point. Curious, how much stronger is that concrete with the 'mesh' mixed in??

 

[bigdav160]

That's the way it's done around here. As they are placing and working the concrete they use a tool to lift the wire up.
They start on one end and work their way to the other.

 

[savela]

That's what I figured. Thx.

Re: Underway in Corpus Christi, TX. - 10/26 tile

I really love that coping- is it travertine?
