The gunite for our pool has been completed for nearly 3 months. :rolleyes: Everything else is done and we are just (not so patiently anymore) waiting on plaster -- French Gray PebbleSheen. They've come out several times and drained the water that has accumulated on the deep end, but the water...

Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing the pictures -- really helps to see the color!

How are you liking the blue surf? It looks beautiful from the pictures you've posted so far!

The patio is looking great! Did you decide on a PebbleSheen color yet? Never mind -- I see it in your signature now!

Actually, for our hamster. Of course, I meant feet. Otherwise, we way overpaid. (It's been one of those weeks.)

We are in the middle of a build with a very similar style pool in the same part of town. We are putting in a rectangular pool that's about 13" x 24". We met with 3 different pool builders who were all in the $45,000 - $50,000 range, which included saltwater and heater. So I'd guess you may be...

@RuralTexas and @Jbrillo You guys are making a really strong case for blue surf! Such great pools! Thank you for sharing pictures!

The only negative I've heard about the Blue Granite is that it has a lot of gray in it. So steps and shallow areas will have a gray tone, as opposed to a blue tone. I think depending on the tile and coping, that may not be so bad. I think this may be the hardest decision! Let me know what...

We've ruled out Blue Surf after seeing it referred to here as Blue Smurf! It looks beautiful from what I can tell, but may be a bit too intense of a blue for what we are looking for! @JJ_Tex - my take is that it's a little deeper of a color than the old Oilers, but still bold!

You're right -- the PebbleTec website it really good! We had been using it to help narrow down our selection. It's helpful to hear the Blue Surf is the most popular color. It's close to a lot of the ones we were looking at in the medium blue family.

Thank you. We had seen this thread before and it's very helpful! Appreciate the link to it again!

We are in the middle of our new pool construction (gunite is done!) and need to decide on a Pebble Sheen color very quickly. We have scoured the internet for every photo available, but we need to see some in person to get a better idea. Our PB should be sending us some options soon, but in the...

My wife and I have two girls and live inside the loop in southwest Houston. Finally pulled the trigger on a build and are completely new to pool ownership. Trying to keep it simple in design and maintenance. We're glad we found you and looking forward to sharing our pool journey with you...
