Pool Build in Socal moving full steam ahead!! DONE!!!
- Thread starter Killer95Stang
- Start date
Few questions:
In the original 3D images it looks like the spa was raised but the subsequent pics show it level set. Did you decide to change for some reason or was the 3D image incorrect?
Also, the NPT Stonescapes mini pebble "custom" color you went with, was the color based off of one of their existing choices? I'm curious as I will be going with this finish as well but can't decide which color. The pics on their website don't provide enough pics and the pics when Googled are few at best. Leaning towards Aqua White and Aqua Blue but I have plenty of time to figure it out as I haven’t broken ground yet.

We had originally planned on just raising the spa, but the PB goofed a bit and didn't figure on so much slope to the rear yard. On the first day of construction, they brought a transit and discovered the error in their ways. The PB ended up eating the cost of the raised bond beam, but I agreed to pay for the extra concrete to form the steps up on the raised level.
I'm not exactly sure what the formula is, but I have compared the colors with samples from the stock list. It looks like my plaster is Tahoe Blue with an addition of abalone shells for a sparkle affect.
I would Love to see the finished project with the grass and landscaping!
It is absolutely Beautiful!

So, I was thinking of going with the Abalone shells can you see the sparkle or shine? Do you think it adds that much pop?

Still a work in progress... still need to start the build of the Pavilion style gazebo, bar under the gazebo and some kind of finishing for the rear wall. Adding a few more plants is also in the works.
You can see a little of the reflection from the abalone shells on deep end seat

Personally, I love the look of the abalone shells. If it isn't that much of an upgrade cost, I would have your PB add them to the plaster. If you look in the pics above, you can see some reflection of the shells on the seat in the deep end of the pool.
Weather is very nice today.... in the mid 80's with the water temp being about 82. Figured if it was good enough for us, it was good enough for the lab!! He loved it!
Not exactly an update... but I did have a party a few weeks ago and I took this cool photo with my phone. The combination of LED pool lights and DJ lighting made the pool really pop!!!
Sorry to revive an old thread but I really like the deck colors you selected and I can only find the name of the coping in your write-up. What dye color did you use in the deck itself and since it's been a while, how is it all holding up?
