    Made a huge mistake...need advice PLEASE

    Thank you! We got in for the first time yesterday and my boys didn't want to get out. Their smiles made all the stress worthwhile.

    We covered it with the same split face stone that’s on the wall, and we’re planning some landscaping around it. I don’t hate it as much as I did.

    It’s Pebble Sheen Blue Granite. That’s my favorite part. It’s the perfect mix of blue and turquoise.

    Pool is done. Started 6 Jun, completed 25 Aug. We’re happy with the results, especially the finishings we chose. There are a few “punch items” left...hoping PB takes care of them soon. Swim school is scheduled for next Wednesday. We’ve been too busy to swim, but it’s going to be ON Saturday! 😂...

    Please help me choose my tile, coping and stone (pics included)

    This is the second time I’ve had them change out tiles. They’ve been great about it both times. I’m sure they’re talking about me behind my back but that’s ok. I’ll give them a case of beer next week. 😁

    I’m right here with you! Like Dirk suggested, I’ve asked for things to be changed. I’m always polite, but the foreman knows I’m not taking no for an answer. We’re spending way too much money for it to have flaws that will bother us every time we look at it. I’m having them replace tile for the...
