Ummgood, thanks. It's slightly greenish right now but PB says that will change quickly as the water is balanced.
Amanda, I'll check it out.

Hopefully I'll have some more pics to post tomorrow. Today was just too busy. Got my sea plane rating today. 
The green water at the beginning is normal and will clear fast!
Sea-plane rating? FUN! It is harder or easier to take off and land than a normal plane?

Marla, I'm NW off of 249. Not far from Hooks airport. You?
Kim, good to hear on the green tint. And no, about the same. Not much to it really.
Appelbe, I see you're close too.

Appelbe, 10 feet? You fly out of DWH?
Here are the latest pics from this morning.
So sick of this trash. At this point they have my pump up and running but the Omnilogic still isn't powered on and configured. That should happen today. My fire bowls that go on top of the columns still aren't in yet. Landscapers still need to come clean all the trash, hook up drain lines, and put new sod down. Once my PB is back from vacation he's got to get me a new VS pump to replace my current fixed speed feature pump, install my Sense & Dispense, plumb in two new actuators for my features, and replace my lights, and seal my travertine pavers. Ready for this to be completely finished!
I have a hard time picking out materials and visualizing what they're going to look like once it's all put together. I have to say that I wouldn't change a thing. I'm really happy with all the stone choices, waterline tile, etc. And my PB at first had a hard time grasping that I didn't want coping. He finally got it and I think that it looks great without the coping. I love the pavers going right to the water line.
And for appelbe...

Our last house had a very small yard. We put a pool in anyway and although small we still used the heck out of it and are glad we did it.

Sometimes PBs are short on vision.
It's not that you don't have coping, it is just infinity coping.
Once those braziers go it, you can host a metal concert complete with pyrotechnics.unkrock:

Oz, I didn't know it had a name. Infinity coping. That might have saved me time trying to explain it. I had a hard time even finding pictures to demonstrate. Seems like all pools have coping that's different from the decking.
Erik, I'm just down the street. In Wildwood @ Northpointe in the new section just north of Northpointe Blvd between Northpointe Ridge and Shaw.

Oh, I just made that up!
But that's how things get a name.
If the name brings the correct image to mind then it's kinda visual onomatopoeia.
(yeah, go look that up!)

Travis - just curious- what size was your small pool?
Oz - I know what onomatopoeia is! But I work at a school so perhaps that helps.

I would LOVE to hear a video of the water coming down the spa overfill. It sure looks pretty! I bet it sound nice also!

Nice pool ... and airplane
We live east of Hooks near Kuykendahl. My flights usually leave KJFK and go out over the water. Currently enjoying some pool time in Africa:

And completely lined in tile! I have another friend that is a landscape architect who grew up in Mexico and he said the standard pool in Mexico isn't lined in plaster but is lined in tile. It blows my mind.
Wow! Feeling kinda small here- Appelbe in Africa and Travis with his own plane and a great looking pool to boot!
