Here is a good pic that shows the NE side. It's color and iridescence is similar to the SW side almost at all times. As you can see the face (SE) looks more flat blue without the angled sunlight. And here's a recent shot of our step markers. Again in late afternoon sun. Sent from my...

Great question. The face of the spa faces SE and this was late afternoon sun so I'd say SW position. I actually wish the spa wasn't Square to our house as a direct on view looks very blue and very flat. The side of our spa that faces southwest always looks like this picture tho. It holds its...

The silver is a really unique color. I loved it but it didn't mesh with the style of our home and yard. I've heard mixed guidance on pressure washing. Some say it's ok at an angle on low and others suggest nothing stronger than a garden hose. Since ours is still new I've only used a garden hose...

Here's a good shot of the spa tile. It's been near impossible to show what it looks like in person in a photo, but this is pretty close. I came home to the perfect sunlight yesterday: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Momma, ours is French pattern ivory travertine. If you go that route, have them send you a sample as shading changes over time based on batches from the various quarries. Our shade was a little darker than some other ivories I've seen, which is what we preferred (somewhere between ivory and...

Jim, a lot of this is foreign to me. But we do have an extra cat5 box wired to the outside of our home close to the area where we would use the projector. It is connected currently to our modem for internet connectivity should we need to hard wire a device like our laptop for projecting...

Noticed a little bit of white flaking appearing in the pool last weekend. Dissolves to the touch. From what I've read here this sounds like some calcium flaking? Potentially from high pH and CH the last few weeks? Will this be addressed as the chemistry gets in line? Any cause for concern while...

If you go with stone, there will be natural variations in color. See my French pattern travertine below (all ivory color). If you go pavers, it will be a much more solid consistent color unless the design or mix is specific to produce a different look (like those you have above). Do you have a...

Jen, as for step markers I would do your shelf and benches at a minimum. We did all of ours including steps and really like them. But it seems you have more steps and other accents in your pool that it might take away from (spa, table, etc). If you have children definitely do more markers than...

First, wow what a clean gunite shoot! I like the pavers in the second pic where different pavers are different colors. I don't like the first one where each brick is split 50/50. Looks very manufactured. As for waterline tile, we matched ours to our decking. In hindsight, I wish we went...

That's what I figured, the far side of the pool. Definitely enough space on that side. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very nice. One constructive comment I have is that for such a large area, you have very little uncovered poolside decking close to the house. Where do you envision sitting poolside out in the sun? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. We actually put the other in to match yesterday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am the member Jim was referring to. Unfortunately as he mentioned, my problem is the opposite. Have you tried using a rubber mallet? Are the return pipes currently under water or is the water level lower than them since you are just opening it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interesting. I'll have to see if this can also be done with the regular Connect. The video is still the tougher part for me. The only 2 solutions I have are: - Connect video from computer to an Apple TV that is connected as a "line in" to the sonos system. This will require the tv to play the...

Good luck Will! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, Matt. I'll read some. These just showed up recently. The finish was actually very consistent up to about a week or two ago. The only things that changed are 1) I stopped brushing every day after day 30, 2) our pool has been a lot dirtier with landscaping going on around the pool, and 3)...

South Florida Pool & Outdoor Living - STARTUP PHASE All, looking for some opinions. We are marching towards replastering next week. The owner of the plaster company called and proposed an alternate solution. He is saying we could drain the pool, remove the marker tile grout, and fill the...

Jason, where are you located? I am in Boynton beach and also had about a 5 year old survey. I didn't need to get a new one, but I recall it being discussed as maybe being needed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How were you thinking of accomplishing this? I've also considered this but hadn't found a simple solution. The best I've come up with is to run video to projector from my computer and airplay the computer to the tv - the tv can then connect to the sonos. But it fees like a lot of work. Sent...

And I didn't know much about ohms before I bought my sonos system. It turns out that my outdoor bose patio speakers were 4 ohms and having 4 of them in one zone was too much for a Connect Amp. If we were only doing 2 speakers it would have been fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When you start adding additional zones is where a standalone amp makes sense. You will need a Connect for each zone plus an amp to power all zones, or a Connect Amp for each zone. We have one good Amp and 3 Connects, one for each zone. The best part is you can group them and control volume...

Unfortunately your challenge is the length of the swimmable pool (24'). That depth profile is very common, but in longer pools. We have a 34' long rectangular (ish) swimmable pool with the same depths. I also thought we would have some flat shallow ends but we don't. It also didn't help that...

Right. The Connect: Amp is $500 and does not require an amp (it is built in) vs the regular Connect which is $350 and requires an amp (if you are not using sonos speakers). One thing to consider is what outdoor speakers you are using and the ohms they pull. We were unable to use the Connect Amp...

Wow. Will had exactly what you needed. Your side yards are identical! Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Once our kids are bigger and our use of the shelf changes, we will certainly get the ledge loungers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
