    New build, north DFW again!

    Have them replace them. If you don't every time you see it it will bother you.

    I think it's called Noble. I looked through the paperwork and it just says travertine as we did our color selections last.

    I was working from home today and a guy from the pebble tec company came by. I asked him about the spots and he said they will send out people to pressure wash and scrub the deck. He said it will come right up. They do have a lot of spots to get thow. We'll see. The pool company runs the pool...

    Pebbletec guys showed Friday morning and came back Saturday morning to acid wash. We started filling around 10AM. Hopefully by this afternoon we should be full!!!! To bad it's 50 degrees outside :( . In order to stop tracking dirt in the house I had sod put down also. It should make it through...

    I would make the move it to the left side of the equipment pad. They didn't put it over there because it blocks the path they have going in and out since the fence is down. This is obviously the wrong spot. They just don't want to extend the piping to make it right. Cheaper now to fix it.

    These are kichler LED lights. Great so far and I have these about 16' away from the waterfall. There are three total lighting up the entire waterfall. In order to get them to look right you need them all about the same distance away otherwise the light it throws will be uneven. I had all three...

    New in-ground in swampy Louisiana. Build is ON!!!

    As a homeowner that wants to be involved in their pool build (ie wants to know what's going on) I have seen some of the same things happen to me. I feel as if there is no quality check in the system from the PB side. Since I am looking over everything if I don't complain about it then he assumes...

    What does everybody do with existing irrigation when installing a pool?

    Sprinkler repair was included in our contract along with new zones for the flower beds around the pool. If you know it's going to get destroyed by the diggers then pull the valves and heads.

    Decking got started today. We are going with stamped concrete in one color called honey wheat. Hopefully they will pour Friday or Monday. Three weeks this Thursday since they started.

    Geometric Houston pool

    With all of the pictures you posted I do not see a bonding wire. Did they add this before the gunite? Looks good so far!

    The tile and rock guys finished up this week. All that is left is for them to come back and grout the tile. Looking at the tile last night i think i will have them fix a few places where its bumpy. I imagine laying the 1"X1" glass tile was a pain but i'm paying for them to do it to my level...

    New Member, First Build...What have we gotten into?

    I'm not a framer but have done some construction before. The roof should be framed out like the picture shows. Double rafters and a header. The masons do good work. Did they flash the chimney? I don't see any flashing in the pictures.
