Beautiful design, wonderful color, and hope you get many many memorable moments. When I first flipped through the pictures and saw the desert and mountains, I said to myself looks like AZ and then saw that it is! I swim almost every day and have no regrets building my pool. I love the cover as...

Glad to read that your project has been finalized. It appears you are very happy with your interior finish choice. As you may recall we gave up on the micropebble as local pools felt more sand papery, then we did a custom attempt with NPT for midnight blue mini pebble and it was such a bad job...

I am glad you got blue vs emerald. I never saw blue EXCEPT at night with the pool lights on (we have micro lights and have 6 along the 48' length - one about every 8'). That was the only time I saw blue. Now when I swim at night we do not need to even turn on the lights as we have motion...

Good day. You can always call me (858-205-6060) if desire too as email conversation may be limiting. So here is my story. First which is important, I am educated and a researcher to learn something I do not know about but want to know about. I almost a yr on this site reading everything about...

So how did yours turn out? What color did you decide?

I am so so glad it worked out for you. I tried to do the same but they added too many black bags and still somehow the browns and other pebbles that create green were in with the white rock bag and it was lagoon for sure and emerald hue. I am glad I did the redo of my interior finish as I also...

How exciting to know the goal has been reached! Hopefully donations still keep coming. I am so delighted to know our members care as much as me! It was great to follow this thread and support each donation. A big thanks to all of you!

Love the reply! Laughing and comradery with others on TFP is so delightful!

Donation completed! Thank you all for a wonderful, educational, and sometimes quite entertaining site. So much of my pool build was based on feedback within the threads: water tiles/coping coordinations, depth of pool, length of pool, electric cover, thermal solar, heat pump (AquaCal heat...

Fascinating indeed! Thank you for the fun added to my new retiree lifestyle! Ellen M

Re Joyful Noise - it was his May 18, 2022 post in this thread. I interpreted it as a greater writer because I adore your stream of consciousness along with the humor and gifts of experience...when he wrote "Classic @Dirk … no one, and I mean NO ONE, can create a “stream of consciousness” post...

Just wanted to comment on I love reading these in depth replies and continued education! I agree with Joyful Noise you are a great writer. In reference to the cleaner: we were supposed to get a Hayward sweeper with a new build (8/2021) but saw a rebel was delievered. We kept it and it has...

Love to see your finished pool! Hope you are enjoying the pool everyday!

Spoke to a previous neighbor yesterday who said he did the original pebbletec moonlit grey and he said it does have a lot of variation based on time of day, shading etc. He likes it. We just replaced our NPT midnight blue which had the pool showing partial lagoon and green whenever there was...
