    Pool Garbage/Recycling Receptacle

    Safety Cover for Wet Set Flagstone

    Hello. We are getting ready to close our pool and will have a safety cover installed in the next week or so (pool was finished in September). We have wet set flagstone (on concrete deck with 1.5 inch pavers - variegated) surrounding our deck. Should we have the deeper aluminum sleeves installed...

    Construction Hold up and Closing Pool

    We are (what we thought was) in the home stretch of our pool being finished. We are end of August right now and live near Washington, DC, and were really hoping our pool would be finished by Sept. 1. Doesn't look like that will happen now. since we have run into subcontractor decking...

    Thank you for your response, I don't know a lot about masonry so I wasn't sure if this is typical. I like knowing this is how it should have been done. My son was surprised I even noticed it, he thought I was being "extra."

    This website is fantastic! I have gotten so much valuable information - Was curious is this is typical for flagstone pool coping? The two shorter ones in the middle vs having the shorter ones in the corners?
