New Build in South Louisiana
- Thread starter WyattEarp
- Start date
Got to give it to my builder. Its 8:50am and the excavation and plumbing crew are already out here working to get it fixed.
Sorry that happen Wyatt, but at least the builder is on top of things. I live in Prairieville and things got pretty hairy here yesterday.

Whoah, that looks bad. I'm glad your PB is on top of things and is taking care of it for you. Yes, everything can be fixed, fortunately. This is where it's great to have a PB who takes these sorts of risks on himself, unlike an O/B who incurs any extra expenses on their own dime. I'm glad you're being well taken care of.

No big problem to fix it (for you anyway)...but I will say that's the most impressive pre-gunite damage from rain I've seen here!
That is SOME damage! I'm so glad and relieved for you that they are out there first thing and on top of making it right. This will soon just be part of the build "story" of your beautiful pool.
Gunite gets started first thing tomorrow morning. Pretty impressed that all of that damage only caused a one day delay. Added bonus is I get about 10" extra width to the pool.
As long as those 10 extra inches don't push you within the setback requirements for your property line (varies by local zoning codes,etc)
I really like how you did the sun ledge and steps. They do not take up any room from the swimming area.

+1 on Kim's comment as that had been my great struggle with my pool. Yours looks great!!!
Congratulations! You have a pool!!!

Appreciate the compliments on the design. I had a couple of inspiration pools and drew the design myself. Just had the pool builder put it in the pool design software. I'm thrilled with how the steps and ledge turned out. Exactly like I envisioned.
Trying to decide on if we want to add a small line of marker tiles on the steps, ledge and benches. Was originally not going to do them but then saw this photo and kind of like the look. Would cost me about $850 to do.
They didn't have a sample of the longer innerlocking tiles but I picked up a set of the 1x1s to see. I think gold with a bit of green and purple iridescence works well with the travertine coping. Might add a bit of pop. This photo doesn't really do the tile justice. The 6x6 tile is my waterline and the sample between that is the Steel Blue Diamondbrite which is wet in the photo.
Opinions?

Tile got started today.
And all of the coping got delivered. They should start on that tomorrow.
