Finally! After all of the issues with your build, I'm so happy to see it finally done. I still can't get over how similar our finishes are! I hope you love yours as much as I do mine. I can't wait to see it all filled up with y'all enjoying it. You've earned it! Congrats!

After our first real dose of the 100+ temps, my pool is at 90 degrees.

This may or may not be worth anything to you....BUT I have Prism Matrix from Wet Edge which seems to be pretty much the same/similar thing. I wasn't a huge fan of the pebble finishes, but I did like the mini pebbles. I find this to be smoother than the mini pebbles. Part of it is the glass...

Been bouncing between 78 and 82. The weather's been weird. Starts to get hot and then gets cloudy and cool for a few days. I've officially lived out here too long because at 78 the water feels too cold for me! Doesn't stop me from going in though...

Beautiful!

It already looks fantastic! Very nice!

Since I finally got around to putting these together and uploading them, I figured I may as well show them off....enjoy! 1.) Time-lapse video of renovation from start to finish. 2.) Video of pool/waterfall and underwater video to show the finish.

Whoa...just saw this now! The umbrella was a gift from a friend who got it for $20.00. He was expecting it to be nicer than it is...it's just all cheap plastic and the pole is about 1" diameter...but it's starting to grow on me!

I would LOVE to see some pics of yours. So, do they just have a bunch of different bags of all kinds of pebbles, shells, glass and then just mix them up?? How does that process work? And I wonder if they have a set amount of each bag. Do you happen to know how many bags of shells they used for...

@philboy - there's a link in my signature to my renovation thread. There are some good pics of it on the last couple of pages as far as general shots. Hope you like 'em! Here are some (admittedly crappy) cell phone photos to try and show the abalone. Harder to capture in a photo than I thought!

I don't have the same variety (I have Indigo Blue), but mine has way more abalone than I expected. To be honest, I didn't really care about abalone and I wouldn't have added it if it wasn't already included in the Prism Matrix, but I really love it. In my opinion, there's plenty of it....and a...

I don't know if it helps any, because I know prices vary all over the place, but I put in a shelf that came off of the existing stairs. The shelf is wavy, around 6' x 13'. It cost me $3,600.00. After the chip-out was done, they mapped it out and filled in some of the area with cement bags and...

I actually feel a lot better after seeing that list. My pool is smaller, but I was using a builder so I had the markup included. Prism Matrix Indigo Blue came out around $9,800.00 for my pool.

Wow...it's amazing how differently they all do it. Mine was a renovation as opposed to a new build, but for me 50% was due up front, 25% was due after tile was complete, and the final 25% was due after everything was done and the pool was turned over to me.

Granted, I'm in a different market here too, but that doesn't seem too unreasonable. I just paid 24K for a renovation of a 16' x 32' play pool. No spa, but added a water feature, baja shelf, auto-leveler, and another stair in addition to resurfacing the deck with acrylic lace. So your quote...
