Build in Dallas with small yard

[NDallasModPool]

Something happened before the holiday! The pole for the arbor was installed so we should see some additional progress soon!

I love that tile!

I love that tile!

Thank you! We must have spent 6 months looking at different tiles and even considered having something custom done then this tile came out of the blue.

stonework has started. we are using the stone we took off the house so it will match.

Neat build and like Robbie, I like the tile too. Very unique and different choice. Nice to see something out of the norm like that. Interesting choice on the steel as well. I don't believe I've even heard of that.

Thank you for the kind words.

You're welcome...any more progress?

 

[NDallasModPool]

May I ask what kind of tile and coping you are using? We're looking for something a little unusual but have not had much luck here in OKC. Thanks!

coping is Lueders limestone and the tile is Daltile winter blues.

They have done the deck form finally so we should see a pour first of next week! We are hoping we swim in a couple of weeks.

Hey good deal! I was wondering about this one a few days ago. Meant to check in, but glad you posted. Keep us updated!

 

[NDallasModPool]

They have poured the deck and are working on the roof structure! We are getting close to the end but we still have not decided on the plaster finish. We are looking at Bead Crete, has anyone around here used it before?

 

[Patrick_B]

No, but that is a very nice finish, all glass bead. Very spendy premium finish. Others make all glass bead finishes too, so you might check them out as well. I've never seen one, but I'm sure they are gorgeous.


EDIT: If I could afford an all glass bead finish, I absolutely would do it. Heck, If I am just wishing like that I would go all glass tile. It doesn't get more spendy than that. :lol:

I would like to see more pics of this build! Thanks. Nice.

 

[NDallasModPool]

Some additional work completed today!! The steel structure for the arbor and the replacement fill dirt. I will post some pictures later today if the welder does not burn the house down! Still no decision on the plaster.

 

[Patrick_B]

Cool deal! Let us know.

 

[NDallasModPool]

Here is a picture of the frame of the shade structure being built. They have done the fill dirt around the deck so we have to get going on the rest of the fence work. We hope to have water in a week or two.
