That's the wierd thing. It is also a flat irregular shaped stone, and some stoneyards call it Quartzsite Flagstone. It is just super hard, and requires a diamond blade to cut. Our PB didn't charge an extra to use it.

Look into quartzsite coping. We just used it for our salt water pool, and love it. It's super hard, and won't break down like flagstone. lumberton-tx-build-t46016.html

Thanks for the kind words. We are very much enjoying everything. The spa is my favorite part so far, and we couldn't be happier with the 3.5-6-4 depth we chose. Now we just need to get rid of all these kiddo's ear aches from swimming so much!

We got the waterfalls going, but the PB has to come Monday to get the spaside and indoor controls operating. I'm sure the the Easytouch is "easy", but I don't know whats going on yet.

Here's the plaster pics. The plaster company calls it their "house mix white pebble". They brought it to the backyard in wheelbarrows, and put on by hand. They managed to scratch up the spray deck all over the place. I think it didn't have enough paint on it, or something. I thought it was alot...

The initial quote was for $35k for the whole thing. Then I added a pool cleaner, salt generator, spraydeck, indoor panel, spa side remote, and pebble. We ended up at $40k. I don't know the gunite breakdown, but Houston Gunite gave me a quote of $37k for the entire thing before upgrades, but I...

The plaster company was a no show all week, so no pool for the party tomorrow. After being told they were coming all week I called them directly. The PB took offense, but I didn't mean any harm. I just needed to know if the pool wouldn't be complete, so I could rent water slides and stuff...

Here's the spray deck, and they should have the white pebble plaster in tomorrow. By the way, the spa measured 8x7. We can't wait to start swimming!

I'll measure it tomorrow, but I think it's roughly 8'x6'. I know the whole pool came out to 106 perimeter feet.

I'm just going to have to scrape nickels together to come up with the extra $1800, or I wouldn't care. I'm going to do it though if it's really that much better than the regular plaster.
