Newbie from AZ--9/23 Getting closer to finish line

[forph]

Re: Newbie from AZ--9/13 updates

My pool build is WAY behind the schedule because of some glitches here and there. But no complaints for my PB thus far. They're just slow adjusting details rather than masking mistakes that I would never notice. Today is the 3rd day for the coping, decking, and masonry wall for water features. They're breaking down the wall again to back it off a couple of inches away from the pool and waterline tile d/t stability issues. I'm trying very hard to be optimistic. It's a pure fun to watch my pool transforms day by day exactly like I designed.

Can't wait to see the finished wall. But these guys are testing my patience. Now the wall is all broken down as I type. Oh well~

Looking good! Glad things are starting to move along. It sounds like your patience has been tested a bit, but I am sure it will all be worth it in the end. Keep posting pics!

Sure, will do guru. I've been spying on your pool build thread and I'm glad your pool came out really nice. Now it's high 80's here and it's a perfect time for swimming!!! Can't wait to get that Shade Captain delivered.

Thanks! Finally took my first swim in it this morning before work, and it was awesome! You will indeed love that Shade Captain too!

Can't wait no more...

Which decorative stone would you pick?

[shcuck]

VERY nice.... I would pick the stones on the right (dark ones)

 

[forph]

Thanks. You have a good taste. That was my wife's pick. The one on the left (goldish color mix) is my pick. The middle one is my mother in law's. So we're lost now...

 

[shcuck]

Go with your wife's pick ;-) just some advise... hehehehe

 

[ajones02]

what shcuck said........i like the one on the right as well and the contrast it provides.

GREAT pool BTW!
