New build in South Texas

[bhargraves]

That is really coming together. We are going with something like the dry stack wall on the left. So, naturally that is my favorite.

We are going to have dry stack on the infinity wall and the sides of the exposed beam of the pool

That is going to look great. I really like all of the cool features you have designed into your pool. It is really going to be a stunner.

I'm thinking something darker on the walls to accent the pool but that would be higher maintenance, huh?

These are some of our backyard neighbors :

Finally.......The stone arrived for all the retaining walls. I'll post some pictures over the weekend. I just purchased a drone Quad-copter with a gopro camera. I think it will take me a couple of weeks to get the operation of it down but aerial and fly-bys of my project will not be far behind. This should give a whole new perspective on our build.

I am starting to sound like a broken record. The travertine install continues. With over 3,000 square feet to install it seems like it will never end. The good news is that 12 pallets of stone arrived to start the final finishes on all the retaining walls. The ledger stone for the infinity wall and the sides of the raised beams were ordered.

Quite a project, but it sure will be nice. Hang in there, you'll have it by summer for sure.

Looking great martin! Have you had a chance to fly the copter yet?

 

[pragmatic]

Wow, now that's a deck!!!! Love the pavers and perfect placement choice for the ODK.

 

[mrcarcrazy]

Looking good. I'm also a fan of your wall.

I have not had the Quad copter in the air yet. It looks easy enough to hook up the gopro camera. I am checking out something I read. There was a warning from some users that there is interference of the frequencies used on the gopro and the quad. I want to use the Wi-Fi on the gopro to get a real time view of the flight so I can make sure I am filming what I want to see...Stay tuned

That is going to be pretty cool...I look forward to hearing how it goes. You will have to post a link so we can see some footage.

Good luck!

Cold weather is on the way again so I am looking at another slow week of progress. We are now in the 8th month of our build!! The drains along the patio are in.

Thanks rodog123

Travertine looks great. What color is that exactly? We are choosing a color now for our deck.

 

[mrcarcrazy]

Those have to be the prettiest deck drains I've ever seen.

They are using a mix of Mocha and Latte

mrcarcrazy the drains are from a company called NDS
