Our PB took an initial Good Faith payment of $1000 when we signed the contract. The installments were then divided into 4 payments with the last payment being 10% of the total and due on the day the interior was installed... UNFORTUNATELY, and I don't know what our PB was thinking, but he was...

Hi Blu! We just had our pool finished last week and we chose StoneScapes Mini Aqua Blue. We wanted a more "aqua" colored water. I took these pictures with my phone and the color of the water is a lot more intense on my phone than it is on my monitor. A few things to note are that with all...

Hi Tony! Love your build... very modern aesthetic, like you said in my thread. Looking forward to seeing your final product!

Oh wow!! Did you do what I think you did?

Hi lar32, thank you! You're in luck, our interior is Stonescapes Aqua Blue minipebble. It's always hard to guess what the color is going to look like in your pool. But it's exactly what we were hoping for and we love the color. I think the only issue we're having right now is the acid wash...

OMGoodness!! I've been wondering the same thing about our pool. Ours was plastered last Thursday and acid-washed and filled on Friday. Pb came out on Monday to fire it up and I asked him about it, and he said "some of it will go away with brushing, and over time, it will dissolve". But I've been...

Thanks Foxy! Just had some landscapers come in and give some estimates for the backyard... The journey continues!

Thanks KK!! Sooo grateful for this site!!

She's so pretty and blue!!

Yes KK... two failed inspections. It's been very frustrating... Communication was almost nonexistent from the PB and there was a lot of finger-pointing from PB to subs... Nevertheless, I AM SO HAPPY WE'RE ALMOST DONE! Now I get to make some calls and get some estimates on our landscaping...

Another shot with a better angle...

Finally!! After 2 failed inspections and a HUGE lack of communication, we finally had the interior installed and our pool is now filled. It's not fired up yet, but at least it's filled. Pb builder also remedied most of our tile concerns.

Just became a supporter!! I just wanted to thank everyone for the volumes of knowledge we find on this site and for sharing a small part of their lives with us!! Cheers!!

Well I'm no expert, but your design is absolutely gorgeous! Good luck on your build!!

No, I don't think he's saying anything to get me to back off. I think he was being really sincere about trying to rectify the situation. He just said we were going to have to talk to the sub to see if there was something we could do to try and fix it. But I know we paid extra for the upgraded...

So the PB came out today and installed the door alarms and gate springs and we scheduled our final inspection for Monday. Unfortunately, we discussed the dreaded tile issue and I asked him how soon after inspection can we have plaster go in, and he said he didn't know because we have to figure...

Beautiful!! Love the banana palm. And I love your garden in the back! Everything is so scenic. Can I ask what the plant is with the wide leaves in front of your windmill?

Hi KK!! This is a pic of the inspiration that has now become my pool... This is the overall look we're going for... Some of the elements we would like to incorporate are manila palms, banana palms, and ipe wood against the back wall for plants/shrubs. We're hoping to use the...

Absolutely love your pool!! Congrats!!

So as KK asked... Seek and you shall find!! My backyard!! I tried to get as many angles as I could... maybe tomorrow I'll break out a tall ladder and try and get a higher vantage point!! We want a really modern theme, but I'm kind of at a loss because no one in the...

Thanks Suz... the tiles are porcelain, not glass... but they were so new to Noble Tile (they had just come in the week we went in to look at our options), that our PB couldn't get a good contractor discount on them... not that they were too expensive, but some of the other options we had in mind...

Salty, isn't that the story of life?... We'll always figure something out!! ;) :rolleyes: Patrick, you're right... not worth another 10K upgrade... even the PB's field manager said it. As far as those chaise lounges, I think one might have to walk across the tiled step and get their feet wet to...
