awesome! That is what i will do then!
They look like a 7 layer cake. You should get some matching coasters or hanging artwork made with scraps...
The rocks are really cool, almost reminds me of tiger's eye. We are finishing up our build and looking for lots of palm trees and tropical landscaping too!
Good idea!

I wanted it to have that feel of being on lake powel. Desertscape with lots of palms and really cool features.
I cancelled my signing i had for tomorrow. Were just not ready. We might want the deep end on the other side and some other things changed as well. Its a huge investment and we want to get it right. So stressful!
If in doubt, don't!
This saying has saved me many heart aches! Good job listening to your gut!

Yeah. We got some issues to figure out. Wish i had more space to show pics and get some feedback. I suck at computer stuff and i cant figure out how to use imgur. Maybe i should become a donor member.
I had a pool builder tell me that they dont use step trim tile on pebble finishes cause its problematic.
has amyone heard this or have had any issues?

It does cause a slight problem for HIM as it is a tiny bit more work! 
If you look over any of the current builds you will see that most of them have the accent tile. Then go back a couple of years and you will see the same thing AND they have not had any problems.

I think we found our color scheme to compliment the Grand Canyon boulders. The coping is sockeye quartzite, and the stacked stone for the raised spa and bond beam is a Navajo quartz. I think it works, what do you guys think? Obviously were going for a desertscape oasis. Pretty sure we want to go with midnight blue pebble finish. The concrete pool deck is gonna be a sanded Omaha tan finish with some sockeye quartz banding. We still need to pick out waterline tile. Getting closer. They are scheduled to begin the dig on the 27th. 
WOW! That will look GREAT with the blue plaster! The water line tile will be fun to pick out using those colors!

Before, I decided to go the OB route, Superior was on my short list of contractors. Never got a bid, but chatted with Josh on several occasions and he was as cool as they come...down to earth type person! If I ended up going PB, I am pretty sure it would have been Superior.
Hey im in lakeside too. Yeah Josh seems pretty cool so far. We narrowed him down from 3 other companies. Hope it all goes well.
I may need to steal some of the subs that Superior uses for your pool...haha! Hope all goes well for you too

Do you think this tile would pop? I originally was gonna go with something in the tan or brown color palette. But this blue might look really nice, especially with the stonescapes midnight blue. The pool is in full sun almost all day.
I think you have found YOUR waterline tile! It will be a good mix of the stone and plaster! The fun part will be going through the box and picking out the ones you really like to put in eye sight places like when you first walk out and see the pool and the ones you really don't care for that can be cut or discarded.
LOVE IT!
