    Pool build starts today (5–16-19) just North of Tampa

    Thanks Wobbler! I couldn't figure out how to do that on my iphone but maybe it'll be easier on an ipad or computer. Will have to put that off for a bit.

    Yes, pebble sheen. We visited a pool with this exact finish and really liked the look and feel. Inspection passed this morning so pool gets poured tomorrow or Wednesday. Exciting and great weather this week. We are just next door in Starkey. All my pics say too big so I will have to figure that...

    The dig started today. Concrete pour next week. I am super excited. Last decision made for Blue Granite Pebble Sheen so now I get to watch it come together and learn pool math in preparation.

    Vac or no Vac

    Thanks all for the great replies! Provia & Ping... thanks for making me check to see if it was a suction port... it is!

    Hello from Tampa... building a new pool

    Thanks, I have read through those links and really want to know my pool well so I think mastering the pool chemicals is worth it to keep the darker pool I want. So, the pool color is still in discussion mode :) Having a warmer pool is also very important so another reason I'm leaning to the...

    Hello from Tampa... building a new pool

    Kim, Thanks for the info and links... I will be doing some reading. When using a brand specific I was under the impression the PB would be obligated to use a precise plaster to get the advertised look of the color you choose, i.e. "French Gray." I will have to ask more questions as this will be...
