    Any preference between Poolvergnuegen and MX6

    Debating between these two. Also, is the 4 wheel Poolvergnuegen better than the two wheel. Pool is 28x14 but a 1/3 of that is baja shelf and spa. Love any and all thoughts Thanks!

    Travertine tile vs paver

    Hi, We are looking to do a travertine deck but it's LA so the ground moves plus we are on top of clay. PB thought we should do concrete slab then tile travertine over it. I had leaned toward the thicker pavers on sand. Any thoughts? Also, is tile more slippery than pavers? Thanks!

    Looking for White Travertine in Los Angeles

    Hey All, So we are doing an inground SWG pool/hot tub. We love travertine, but my wife hates the yellow of it. Anyone know where we can source some white travertine? Could be out of state too as long as shipping isn't abominable. Many Many Thanks! Dave

    Heater and Heat Pump?

    The idea would really be the most cost effective. My wife and I use the spa almost every week and my son is learning to swim so he will probably be in it a lot. We have a pretty big house so am looking at a fairly large solar system. I'd love to pay both DWP and socal gas as little as possible :)
