Really nice Frank. You're going to have a beautiful back yard area. Everything looks clean and dressed. It'll be amazing with plaster!

SWEET! Add that info in your siggy please.
I have a whole set of links for you when the times comes for you to put water in! Remind me please.

Looking good! I'm so happy for you. And I agree about Apazaz2. He's a terrific resource!
YOU are a great resource also Julie! It was probably a year ago when I called you - on a Saturday no less!!
Thank you!

More tile pics:
Spa seat is done along with the trim tile:
Overflow from the spa is done and grouted:
Wider angle:
The idea here ^ was to carry the depth of the baja deck around the perimeter of pool, so I have 11 inches of waterline tile around the pool and 8 inches in the spa. I did not use the trim tiles on the discharge side of the spillway - we used the 1x2's and let them hang over about a 1/2 inch to get some noise out of the water instead of following the bullnose. We will see if is does anything. Grout is Laticrete "Sauterne", which is one step below "bright white". Glass tile is AIM (artistry in mosaics) 1x2 and 1x1 with the matching trim tiles. They will be grouting the coping with Laticrete "marble beige" just to fill in the joints and big voids in the travertine. The steps and benches have the 1x2 tiles at the edge to delineate.
Glass tile is not for the weak at heart. Not only is it expensive to purchase, but it requires much more care to install (waterproofing and special thinsets). I love the look, but the cost was a little shocking - but we are pretty happy.
Pre plaster inspection is next week - the the mini pebble!

I can't wait to see how the tile overhang does with the water and sound.
That is all so pretty!

Looks so nice! Frank, your yard now seems bigger with the pool than the before pictures without the pool.

Look at that!!! It looks like a party on your Baja step! Really love the fire table too. I like that you have lots of lights in the pool too. I can't stand to not have the pool lights on at night now because it's so dark without the extra help the pool lights give. The more the better!
