Great build. Any more pictures of the cabana? That is our next project and we are still getting ideas.
Just another build in Texas

Not yet. We are finalizing the bids on that this week and I am hopeful the foundation will be poured in the next 2 weeks. We'll document it as it progresses.

Our pavilion is a notch or five below Itsjustme's drawing, but you can see it on page 9 of our build thread in my signature. The piece that I was inspired by on another thread was the open gable end facing the pool.
That other thread, which I'm sure was in TX but can't recall the name, had a beautiful stone fireplace as well and faced back toward the house. It was stunning as I'm sure this one will be as well.
Really love the tile on your pool. We are looking at some similar tones. Appreciate your sharing your build and for the ideas. Love the sloped lots. Not many of those in this part of the world.
bmoreswim: Love the pool and structure. My wife wants something more like this to go with the pool design.
I know its been a really long time between posts, but the weather has just killed us. The slab for the cabana is a post tension slab and we had to grade and compact the elevation change in order to make the cabana level with the pool. With the rain both finding fill dirt and compaction was severely delayed. The pool plumbing couldn't be done until the foundation was done because the cabana is so close to the pool. In any event one the foundation is done we should be on the fast track. Forms were installed today! The beams and piers will be 38 inches under 12 inches of concrete with post tension cables, so I don't think its going anywhere soon.
I think you are correct! That is NOT going anywhere!
Rain, rain go away. We want to see a pool build today! LOL

Slow and steady for sure. It will get done in time. What a mess you have there! I bet the mud is epic!

Plumbing was green tagged this morning. Electrical and post tension wiring along with steel next week. Then we'll finally start seeing the project move.
Rain hit again and slowed us down.
But then we've had some dry albeit cooler weather and some foundation guys that wanted to work

Post tension cables done. Note the forms for the columns as well as bathroom and storage areas as well as footing form for fireplace.
Wow! You passed on the first try??? NICE!
That is some rain for sure!
Nice to see someone who wants to work!

Good news... the pool holds water! They got that part right! Great looking build. As I'm sure you'll be proud to confirm, your wife has great taste!
No question, my wife has fabulous taste ..... And a great job.
