Beautiful pool...that glass tile is breathtaking! Platinum builds really nice pools...I considered them but never got a bid. Enjoy the tiles...they're so pretty under all kinds of different light conditions!

Beautiful build!! Can't wait to see more pictures. I'm a fan, of course, of your tile and coping - those neutral colors look so good with landscaping, palms and blue water. I can imagine swimming aroumd the lazy river part already. :whoot:

Beautiful!! Looks like my same view last night from my spa. Staycation deluxe!! :cheers:

Will add CO2 detector to my list. We have a generator and it saved us during Ike. Also had a battery operated TV/Radio setup...ours rocked! We sat in the living room and watched the Weather Channel...saw the storm as it came right over us. Now with HD it's obsolete, so we replaced it....but...

Yes anonaperson....very timely advice. We are in a fairly young neighborhood without big mature trees thankfully. I really don't want big trees around the house now. Glad the front two oak trees are fairly slow growing. We trim the branches some every year. But yes, it was the bigger trees...

Good luck, Kristyn..just keep you and the family safe...do as much as you can ahead of time, but you can get the pool in order afterwards...great advice from everyone! :goodjob: We are 25 miles from Galveston and stayed here in the house through Hurricane Ike (interesting night but we were OK...

Re: Pool Build - California Dreaming Dang...when I saw the night pictures I kinda started tearing up...in a good way. Waaaahhh!! It's just so dang beautiful....I'm so happy for you. Can picture you guys having a blast in it. I'll go make a celebratory adult beverage right now!! :cheers:

Re: Pool Build - California Dreaming I've been following this all along spillmar...let me pick my jaw up off the floor now that the water is in...GORGEOUS!!!! :party: Great job..and I know you'll catch up on the pool chemistry thing. We're all here for ya. BIG CONGRATS!!!! You'll be...

Click on my Pool Build link. You'll see our stamped concrete. I don't know the colors. They custom mixed them to go with the pool colors. I love it.

When our heat goes up (water can get to 90 degrees), and with my SWG, spa overspill, the waterfalls running every other day for a little while and still curing plaster (2 years a few months) I have to add acid almost daily. 8 ounces. Got it down. Now there are days here and there I can skip...

Welcome to TFP! :wave: Thanks for the restaurant review page...I LOVE TO EAT IN NOLA!! Mouth is watering right now, and I'm dying to go back. Dang, I just thought about Southern Candymakers' pralines. Uh oh. Now I have a craving - could eat a boxful. :shock:

The Pebbletec was definitely worth it to us. We chose Pebblesheen...easier on the feet. No regrets. We use our spa more than the pool. Extends the use of the pool, especially here in Texas...we even get in some in the winter. Awesome to go get into a spa after Thanksgiving dinner or for New...

Nice to meet ya!! :-D You'll have lots of fun looking around and learning before you start the pool, and be way ahead of the game. That's what I did before we build our pool and it helped tremendously. Lots of pool builds here, and we'll be around excited to watch you get started and help in...

Thank you so much for the compliments! We just love our pool. Yes, our PB didn't feel experienced enough with glass tile to do it, so they contracted Pool Services Unlimited to do the glass tile. It's not easy to work with, especially since it's on a paper backing not plastic mesh. Tricky...

Trendmaker home? I swear we have the same brick! Oh you will love the materials you've picked...such nice choices especially with the house color. The Ocanside tile just can't be beat. Great design, too! :goodjob:
