This is deja vu with my pool, but I’m freeform instead of geometric. If I had to do it all over again, the tile and coping would be one of the most investigative items I would have covered with potential PBs and verified/toured work by the sub that was going to work on my tile/coping. You can...

** Edit - never mind, I found your thread** Wow, that is going to be quite the setup. It would be great to see a thread about your pool. That spa setup plus a vanishing edge sounds interesting.

What you currently have speced is the standard PB offer. If you go a different route (which I recommend depending on what you want to get out of the spa) then you need to make sure your builder/plumber knows how to get the right amount of flow via the pump or pumps, diameter piping, etc... It...

I’m sorry I missed this thread earlier. The pool looks great and reminds me a lot of our build however seems like you have a great builder. I hope all of the tile work goes well as that is where we had issues with our build. You can check out my thread to see what items to watch for during the...

Wow, that looks great. The spa/slide combo looks fantastic. What a way to incorporate a slide without a huge rock waterfall and give some privacy to the spa. We like having our spa at the back of our pool as well so you look back across your pool at the house although you do have a nice green...

I’m looking at these to hold the umbrellas in our plastic anchors in the pool and around the deck (and for water volley ball pools). I talked to the company and they stated they screw into the waterways plastic anchors that our PB installed...

Thanks, I picked up on the joke but we certainly struggled with giving up so much space and the huge trees/landscaping we had before. We certainly wanted the resort/country club feel without breaking the bank even more. We decided to go for a pool after our spring break trip with the family in...

You will be a lot better off with a rectangle as they can leave the tiles in sheets. due to our free form shape they cut the tile into single strips and sometimes use single tiles. Additionally the coping has to be cut in a curve on the inside edge as it couldn’t be left squared off so adds more...

We are really glad we went with the rolled edge on the spa functionally as it’s great for resting your arm or sinking down and resting you head/neck. Along with the JetArrays, the spa is about as close as you can get to a stand-alone unit without going even more overboard. There isn’t much info...

Haha, I wish we had more backyard left but we tried to maximize the pool while still leaving some green. We have a 10 foot easement along the back fence due to utilities but with the landscaping there isn’t much left. We’ll probably get rid of the playground in 2-3 years as the kids get older...

The outdoor “cabana” bath was built with the house in anticipation for a future pool. It’s part of the structure (2 car garage) on the right attached to the house. The door on the right is the small half bath and the door behind the column leads to the garage. I’m figuring out a way to fashion a...

Thanks Kim, it was a long road but the payoff has been worth it.

Here are some pictures from this past weekend as we’re pretty much finished up. Just a few small/minor items left...

Of course the Texas freeze was interesting to say the least but because of this site I was able to drain everything shortly after losing power and avoid major issues. I hope we never see a winter storm like that again. We covered most of the landscaping and it actually survived except for the 4...

On Super Bowl Sunday, our prefab outdoor kitchen unit was delivered and we decided to watch the game from the hot tub! I bought a “pop-up” screen that is about 10 wide and projected the game streaming from an iPad and connected to our outdoor stereo system which includes 4 speakers and a buried...
