What did you use for the jets shooting into the pool? Like the way the look just didn't want to pay what my PB wanted to charge for them. I have 3 flower beds around the pool apron and am thinking of making my own jets/stream to shoot into the pool.

I went to a smaller bank here and did an unsecured 3yr loan for our pool. The payment is higher than a refinance or HELOC but we have it completely paid for in 3 years or less and the total interest paid for the loan is $2,000 or less.

Re: New build in MS *new pictures 3/31*** Work has been slow lately while waiting for electrician to finish up and concrete to cure. Will say I am very impressed that my PB moved my daughters huge playset for us and even leveled and made sure it was set right in the ground with his crew of...

Looks good! Like the over sized stone coping.

Re: New build in MS *new pictures 3/31*** Thanks! and to answer McFlubbin the aquarium in New Orleans was great, it was just as good as the Atlanta Aquarium while living in Georgia.

Re: New build in MS *new pictures 3/28*** Took off while they wre finishing the concrete pour and headed to New Orleans for a long weekend with the family at the Zoo and Aquarium. Had a blast and came back to see the finished concrete, fence put back up, yard graded and slide line plumbed...

Re: New build in MS *new pictures 3/28*** 16x12x32 and 6ft deep. Should be around 930sq/ft of deck/apron as well.

Re: New build in MS *new pictures 3/27*** They are pouring the concrete now and so far it looks good. They are lifting it and supporting the rebar as they pour the concrete from bucket. Got the slide test fit and water line location marked this morning: Familiar site to me and my...

Re: New build in MS *new pictures 3/27*** Came home for lunch and noticed quite a good bit of prep work for the concrete pour tomorrow.

Re: New build in MS *new pictures 3/27*** Thanks! if you look on page one towards the bottom there are a couple of pictures where you can see the mesh before the stone. We are very happy with the pool and the PB so far. Called the PB at 6 last night to ask about changing slides and...

Re: New build in MS *new pictures 3/27*** I watched part of it. The wire mesh is screwed or nailed, i forget which, to the metal flanges that held the liner in place. They then put mortar on that and then the stone into the mortar. Make sense? I know they waste or can't use a ton of stone...

Re: New build in MS *new pictures 3/27*** Ours is coming up on 8 months and after seeing your picture and seeing her play with a neighbors lab who is almost a year I can certainly tell she'll be a smaller lab.

Re: New build in MS *new pictures 3/27*** Not much happening the past two days that are picture worthy. Got the water looking a lot better until I wasn't paying attention and busted their temp drain line and they had to stop vacuuming the pool! OOPS, just add it to my bill. We got the deck...

Re: New St. Louis Pool Not sure if it helps but in central MS we were told to expect upwards of $1000 a month in gas charges for a heater, never looked at electric ones though. Our PB did say he sells more chillers than heaters though

Perfect fit! Looks good in the yard. In the same situation as you with my builder, have been very happy and even called him at 6 last night because I changed my mind on the decking and within 20 minutes he was at my house with a can of spray paint to make changes.
