SWEET!!!!

Is that a stream I see over on the left side of the pool? I bet that is fun to play in!!

In the first picture? No, a big concrete drainage easement.

Looks great! My family and I are considering moving to Austin in a few years, maybe 4-5?? Of course we're just finishing our pool in PA now so we'll be staying around a bit to enjoy it while we plan our next move.

No stream. The view we have without peering over the fence is nice and private. Right behind the fence, not so much!

I know this is an old thread. I realized I never posted final pictures. I want to add my build thread to my signature. Here’s how she turned out.

Can you recommend your plumber and gunite contractors? I’m searching for some in Austin and having a hard time.
Thanks,

Unfortunately no. Everything went through my PB.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve contacted so many plumbers and none of them do pools. It seems to be a specialty thing that mainly work for PBs. A gas plumber suggested I go also around the plumbing supply stores. I’m going to try it.
You pool looks awesome. Hope your enjoying it as much as you can.

also, do you know what color it is?

There are two PEP's in Austin. Go hang out at the closest one between 6 and 7 AM.... that's where the plumbers will be

that looks fantastic. did you seal it?
we have a mini goldendoodle that’ll probably claim a similar spot on the spa ledge.

We decided not to seal it. My wife was concerned it would be too slippery

What tile was used on the back wall, the blackish color tile? It's so beautiful!
