    Rules

    Hey, just thought I'd post our new Pool Rules sign. Hopefully it'll keep the neighborhood kids under control! Dave

    Slideshow

    Finally got around to taking a pool pic for the slide show. I received some great tips from this site during our pool build in 2009. Here it is today. Thanks, Dave

    Thanks. Love your colored lights. I've definitely hit the hot tub already and it's very nice. Luckily, it's winter here and most of the leaves have already fallen (i.e., they won't be falling in my pool).

    We have water! The pool is complete. The next steps include landscaping and additional fencing but we're very happy with how it turned out. Of course, now it's too cold here to swim but next spring will be here soon. [attachment=0:y41e07o2]IMG_5776.jpg[/attachment:y41e07o2]...

    The coping is now finished and I think it turned out great. They have also installed the deck jets and the equipment on the equipment pad (I'll post pics of the equipment later). What type of stone sealant have people used for flagstone? We're looking forward to getting the deck completed so...

    Another update.... They've installed the stacked stone around the spa as well as the tile at the water line. The coping will be flagstone, similar to the samples lying on top of the spa.

    Okay, the gunite is done. Finally, the pool is taking shape. There is also a gunite retaining wall behind the spa-side of the pool as the yard slopes away from the house.
