new self-contracted build near Houston

[jewc1268]

hey everyone,

I am in the process of contracting the build for my own pool. Not far from being done at this point, its been a fun project so far! This will be the first pool I've owned (aside from a cheap above ground pool one summer).

Looking forward to learning a lot here

OH how neat is this one!!!! I keep going back and forth with the different pictures to see all of the details. I missed the seats the first couple of times. Love everything about it.

I would love for you to take a picture of each area of the pool to showcase it and share it with us. Your siggy talks about a grotto but I cannot see it LOL

Thanks for sharing the build with us!

Are they coming back to install a topping or expose the aggregate?? They left lots of trowel marks . . . Looks like a cool project though.

Don't forget to post a list of the equipment you are planning to use. Many members live in your area and may have some dos and don'ts to offer.

Hello! And Welcome!

Sure! I will get some better pictures tomorrow.

They will come back to install a stamped concrete overlay, at least that's the way I am leaning right now. Considered saving some money and going with spray deck, but I am trying to talk myself out of it lol.

I had downloaded a demo of some pool software to see my design in 3D before starting on my project. This design is not 100% accurate as to what was actually built, but its pretty close.

One thing I was very happy about was that the elevation change from the house to the negative edge is larger than I expected.

That does help see all of the areas. Nice job! What did you put at the seats to make the "shelf" ?

What software package are you using?

 

[kimkats]

jewc, I see this on your equipment list: Hayward HydroRite™ UVO³ UV and Ozone System.

I invite you to do a search or three on here and see what TFP has to say about them. It is up to you but...........your wallet can be fatter without it!

Wow, this looks super neat. Would love to see it finished and hear more about the self-contracted aspect of it.

This looks amazing. I can't wait to see it finished and filled. The built in bar stools is an awesome idea.
