Will, I have been offline for a while and just saw this but noticed you have plaster going in today. Your travertine patio turned out great

You made some serious progress and it looks fantastic. Got to love it when it all comes together.

Good move on the wing walls. It all flows very nicely now and your ledger stone and coping go really well together. Things are moving along for you.

Kim That is the bonfire setting. ?. I dialed it down in the second picture which is probably where it will usually stay. It does put out some nice heat for those cool evenings in the vegas winter

We put the lava rock in the fire pit but still need to order the log kit. We are going for the lakeside camping feel with the dark pool, rock ledgestone dropping into the water and campfire logs. Not much travertine at any lake we ever visited but we liked it and said "what the heck" We tested...

You are off to a great start. Lots of character to your design. Picking out finishes and hoping like heck they work together is probably the most agonizing part. Good luck and know you have a lot of support out here.

The spike in Russian vodka imports since January came from my project. Better give Napa a heads up......

They did a great job with your coping. You should be thrilled. And you get your nice cool surface. We had a similar situation with our spa. I really didn't want to pull the tile off but we just kept looking at it and it just never looked right. So we got out the hammer drill and chipped it all...

I have been out of town since last Friday. Things are still moving along. The access wall is finally complete and so is the spa and RBB coping. They did most of the skim coat for the stucco on the planter beds and then put the travertine caps on. Go figure. I would have finished the stucco and...

I have one spot in the pool that could use some work and the jury is still out on the spa. A little too much plaster left in some spots. The guy was here until about 2pm but the spa was the last. To be honest I have never seen one in person so not sure what is normal.
