So this happened

Looking good my dude. This may be a stupid question, but what are those silver handles on the right side of the pool? The base of a diving board, handles if you have giants in the pool, something else?

Those are what the insurance company uses to suck more money out of him….

I don't post much, but Dang, that deck is beautiful. I've been following this build from the beginning and I'm impressed with your patience, vision and persistence. It's all coming together now and you truly have a backyard to be proud of. Good on you, my friend.

Dang, that deck is beautiful

I was chatting with the patio guy yesterday and we were both blown away by how nice it was looking. I asked him 'not bad for the cheap stuff, huh ?' He replied 'it's amazing for the chea........ um...... well..... the patio bricks that didn't cost even more'

Touche'

I think the Cambridge pavers are a good product. I haven’t had them long enough to know if their Armortech fade resistance is actually real, but time will tell!

Those pavers look great, pool is beautiful.

Almost there.......

Moving very quick for a big patio!

The guy working the saw said he will be done tomorrow. It's just him and a helper now because the rest of them would be standing around waiting on the next piece. Dropping it in the hole is the quick part.

Dude! That is looking phenomenal!

Cambridge Limestone Quarry blend and Coal bull nose. They had one that had blue streaks in it and REALLY looked good but the upgrade was a $0.50 a foot more. That was very reasonable but we went so large already and added the stairs and the pockets were just empty.

I was gonna guess Cambridge as we have the Cambridge Ledgestone Smooth. I had lost this thread for some reason and glad I found it again. Looks awesome btw!

You have enough room on that patio for 5 hot tubs, 3 gazebos and 38 lounge chairs 10 umbrellas and a jet ski….

Think of how much more room he would have if he mirrored the patio to the other side of the pool. LOL

 

[Newdude]

I'd have less grass to care about too.

 

[Wolfepack88]

What are you filling the joints with, poly sand, stone dust, sand?

 

[Wolfepack88]

Polymeric sand. They do it the hardening way so it basically turns to cement.

"hardening way"?

If he had, he would have had room for a full blown food court with a Sbarro, Orange Julius, Panda Express, Jamba Juice, Subway and a Cheesecake factory….

"hardening way"?

The Googles was saying many people skipped an additive step to save time with it and it didnt do what it was supposed to.

Maybe there's different grades of it and the cheap ones are junk ? I dunno. He showed me what he's using yesterday and it was rock hard after wetting.

Have you had a heavy rain to see if the runoff will be a big problem?

No it's been dry as a bone. Next week will be sloppy but on/off and not monsoons. Time will tell I guess.
