Perfect, thank you. I was leaning towards black and I think it looks great in your pool.
Contractor says there is light gray available, what is your opinion light gray or black?
See if you can get your hands on both and put them by the tile where the pool will be and see what you think. Both will be better than white!! LOL
Concrete for garage/storage, pergola and fire pit completed today. Some of the pool tile was done today as well and will be finished on Friday. Loving the pool tile we chose.

The garage/storage building got started yesterday. We are waiting on our bullnose coping to arrive so the coping and pool tile can be completed. Rock for the fire pit and spa arrived yesterday so we are hoping that will get started soon too. I am so excited to get this done and be in our pool

Can I get some not pool-related but pool-project/contractor related question, please?
They painted the garage/pool storage yesterday and the trim color is way off (it is much too yellow)...who is responsible for the fix? I did provide them some samples I had in the garage but made sure to tell them I was not sure those were the colors used. I have provided pictures of both our house (picture from when it was built 2.5 years ago) and the garage for reference. He said he thinks it is the same color but faded, I say no way. Now he says I provided the colors (color samples) and we would be responsible for the cost to change in color. Thoughts??

Hey - was thinking about your build when we were in GB last weekend.
First of all, there is no way that is the same color. I would check to see if it matches the sample you gave them. Hopefully it does not and you have that.
If it matches the sample that you provided, I would think the best you can hope for is the company offering to do a repaint for a reduced price.
Good luck.

Thank you, I will check to see if the sample matches what they painted. Did you come to visit Granbury square? We live right off of the square in the historic district.

We didnt go to the square this time, but visit the square most times. Last time we hit up the Eighteen Ninety Grill on the square for the first time, and it was excellent.
My mom lives off of Water's Edge so we hung out with her, took out the boat, and went to Stumpys for drinks/food.

I hate to say it but I agree with JJ. If it matches the samples cards then.............the best you may be able to do is get a discount on a repaint job.
We have decided to put in a rail from the concrete to the tanning ledge (similar to the attached picture) since we are going to do the SWG, would you suggest brass or stainless steel hardware to be inserted into the concrete to hold the rail?
I was not sure so asked my hubby and he says BRONZE would be the best based on what he read after doing a search. Interesting.
Having run a painting company for many years , yellows were some of the worst offenders for fading. When a client would provide us with a sample to be matched , we would do a small test area , get the customers approval, and then proceed. It helped alleviate what you’re experiencing.
Break that bad boy open! Run a test on your water you will be filling the pool with. Do NOT bother testing for CYA as it has be added to the water. Post up your results like this:
FC
CC
pH
TA
CH
CYA-not yet though
Then I will make you a shopping list!
