TM...our waterline and spa tile is Artic Lagoon. Kept things uniform. Our tile choices were completed in an hour. We had another art-deco waterline tile picked out and PB said the glass tiles will be cheaper...easy decision again

It looks so lovely! And you know I am partial to blues.
Thanks firehunter. I'm so glad we finished plaster. The weather has been so unreliable. When I spoke to plaster company owner, he was backed up and had nearly 250 pools to be done...imagine that.
The hoses are for the spraying water during plaster.
TFP tour bus...that will be some trip. First, we all go to Bixby to meet with Denise and her PB and concrete guy. They need a bit of Kim therapy....then the party begins. [emoji3]
That's high praise - thank you!! I have to credit PB for making it all come together. Looks wise...it's better than what we ever imagined. We spend so much time in backyard already...without the plaster, without landscaping, partial coping and still to be completed decking.
OH how I wish!!!!!!!!!! This would be him at just the mention of my name
ale::shaking: heheI wish it were that easy

Acid wash completed. Seeing them pour acid and then power washing the surface made me feel silly about the precautions we read about not spraying water or tying water bottles and so on.
You can see the acid bubbling on this one...
And we are filling...

The two guys working hard in the pouring rain...God bless them. And they took such pride in their work. Was pleasing to see. For bearing with me watching over their shoulders the entire time , they got 20 bucks each)

They poured the acid on the glass tile too. Big change on tiles and grout too.
Wow what a difference! The whole thing just looks amazing.
So about the spa tile... I knew that but apparently forgot for a minute. [emoji23][emoji23] Looking at so many pools I got confused. [emoji136] I'm going to check it out for our toe tiles!
I love how your colors came together!
Oh, and since you mentioned it... Where are the close up pics of the tile and grout now? [emoji5]

I've got to say it was a pleasure meeting you and these pics definitely don't do the beauty of your pool and house justice. I'm glad the sun cam out while o was there because the sparkle was amazing. Thanks again for letting me stop by.
Looking over and taking pictures!!! THANKS! That look AWESOME!!! WOW!
I do not now how they can do it! I feel it for a while if I just catch a whiff!
Now Phil do NOT worry if the water looks a little green. This IS normal. It will turn around in a couple of days. Your plaster color will also change for a while.
When do you have "pool school"?

Tommy - always a pleasure to meet a fellow TFP member. I am eager to see which plaster finish you eventually select. This was our toughest decision - we went back and forth so many times. Especially considering the upgrade price point too.
I am so jealous! Lol
Phil! Omg! Sooooo beautiful!
Just makes me want to stare at it! Imagine kids with snorkel masks diving for precious jewels! If I were a kid I could see myself pretending to search for aqua marines and blue topaz in the deep seas of your pool... How fun would that be?
