New build in Vegas

Tile looks great. Looking forward to seeing the contrast tile too.

I see a lab!!!! LOL forget the mess Kim sees the dog! LOL

Yes the picture worked this time. I would be out there cleaning it up........after a while that would drive me

Kim

Kim...I know the feeling...my crews did a reasonable job of cleaning up, but I couldn't stand it, and about once a week, had to make it "better", once they were all done with their phase of the project.

By by the time I got home I had lost most of the sunlight. I'll get better pictures tomorrow.

I see MY BLING tile! It that is a bad picture I cannot wait to see it a good one! LOVE the tile above the water line tile. Love the shapes, colors, textures, all of it! THANKS!

For obvious reasons, the stacked stone is awesome! The accent looks cool too. Are you going to go with a tan plaster/pebble to get that aqua color?

 

[IMAZ1218]

Thanks Kim.

Beach, we are going with a quartz plaster. It's white with blue specks in it.

I know the picture didn't come out very well, but second row one of the three.

Beach, now we are revisiting plater color.

Talked to plasterer today. He told me that he will not acid wash after plastering. He said that he will come back after a year and acid wash if we want. He likes to give the plaster every benefit for complete cure.

WHAT????????? NO acid wash at all right after??? I have never heard of that one. I am going to check with our plaster person and see what they have to say.

That is an experienced pool plastering contractor that cares about providing a quality and long-lasting finish for his clients.

Why Acid Wash New Quartz Pool Finishes?

I have learned something VERY important! WOW! That link was eye opening for sure! THANKS!

I will be adding this to my "how a pool is done right" file!

Kim (must always ask WHY instead of just doing it because that is how it is done most of the time)

 

[IMAZ1218]

Thank you.

IMAZ...I'm glad your plasterer is a good one! And I hope you don't mind if I, as a new pebble tec owner, butt in for a sec, and ask if acid wash is not a good thing for the pebble type pools from the experts?

 

[IMAZ1218]

Well, I've come to the conclusion there will not be a good picture until the pool is done. There is so much dust covering everything right now none of it looks very good. Stone work and grout should be done tomorrow. Next week coping and decking should begin.

And yes, that is my finger in the way of the lense.

 

[kimkats]

T, Your finger wanted a selfie! LOL Just think how good everything will look when it is all cleaned up and done if it already looks this good!!! It looks so pretty to me now!

Thank you. Today my wife decided that she wants to go for more of a turquoise color to the water to match the glass tile. I will be somewhat glad when I can no longer make changes.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Even though, that sounds good. I really like the lighter finishes too, especially where your pool might get warm enough to boil shrimp.

IMAZ thanks for posting about the plaster! It's so nice to hear that it's the RIGHT thing to do and that you have a awesome plasterer.
I'm so glad I got the same plasterer Hahahaha. Also I'm glad your first so you can smooth everything out for me lol.
And I'm hoping he expert can chime in on Beach comment because I'm curious about that as well since I'm getting pebble.

Today was yard cleanup day. The pool no longer looks like a trash pit.



Also so had to fix an oopsie. Forgot to continue the conduit for the LED bubbler.



Also demo'd the existing patio. I ran the irrigation line for the landscaping behind the bond beam wall. I "borrowed" some left over conduit that was laying in the yard and ran the irrigation through it since it will all be under the travertine pavers. I don't want to have to pull up the pavers if it has to be replaced.

 

[kimkats]

How are your shoulders/back and ears doing after that work??

Good catch on the missing LED power! Will they fill it in with gunite or just plaster?

LOL on the "borrowed" conduit..........well if it is in your yard it was bought with your money so that is good. I guess we don't need to call the police! :cop:
