you could also look at custom boat cover makers, for example custom jetski covers are probably around 200-300 bucks.

That's basically what I was thinking some sort of clear to smooth it out, it would have to be UV resistant so it doesn't turn yellow

Could anything similar to a clear epoxy style work?

Nice, I added 2 sprinklers setup to a timer to a hose, was too lazy to water all the time LOL.

Any special deals on pool cleaners for this week?

Each 350 including install, the bubbler was $$$

Ps they are robbing you blind for the globrites. Just ask your electrician plumber to do them for you without contractor knowing lol. Check pricing on the newer ones.

Pentair has new led's worth looking into, I just intalled globrites had no idea there were new ones. Microbrites: MicroBrite™ Color and White LED Lights - Pentair And there's a new automation intellicenter (didn't know either) : IntelliCenter™ Control System for Pool and Spa — Pool and...

I would lawyer up while you evaluate at the same time and only accept a full tear down and rebuild or they tear it down and you get your $ back. I would not want to eat the cost of that demo job. Here in California there are laws in regards to new homes and warranties, not sure how it is in TX...

My tile NPT ordered it from florida and I did not get charged shipping fees but it did take about 5-7 days to arrive.

Just ordered my TF-100 Test kit, hope it arrives soon. Plaster is scheduled for Friday finally! Quick question, I will go with Quartzscape Grenadine Grey but do I go with regular Carribean series or upgrade to Reflection series for $950 more? I can't really find photos on reflection series...

I was charged about $350 for each globrite installed but they also ordered the 100 feet wired one and didn't even need half that.

I think I will be adding and intelliPH not intellichem.

If you are getting rid of the little shelf and just do steps wider would look like this, and maybe 2 globrites or 2 led lights on the side 1 in the spa. My globrites are around 7-8' apart each, I can measure exactly. How bright do you want it to be at night? Mine might be a bit bright lol.

Re: Really NEED some input! Dig starts tomorrow and I'm lost! Coastal SoCal new bui Most likely with those dimensions you will be stuck at 7' max similar to mine before it get too steep and deep area will be too small if you go around 8 feet or so. I would add automation look at the pentair...

Passed the gate/fence/alarm door inspection, now waiting for final accounting itemized from pool company aka $$$ for final payment and schedule plaster. Will go with Quartzscapes Granadine Grey and wondering if I should add hand casted abalone crushed shells? Not sure how this color will look...

For my pregunite/electrical/plumbing the inspector pretty much only looked at to make sure 1) the pvc/electrical pipes had enough 2 part cement and 2) that the pipes were deep enough, he actually measured in a few spots and had the guys fix a couple of areas that were like 1-2" not deep enough...

I might buy this as well, been researching and reading a lot on the forum. Amazon has the extended warranty for 4 years for $30, it says if they can't fix it they send you a gift card etc. Wonder if this would cover the motor/tubing etc.

Plumber/electrician stopped by and installed the easy touch 8 and installed the Pentair globrite, there are 3 on the side of the pool and 1 bubbler w globrite on the baja shelf, and 1 globrite inside the spa. Contractor came and added the bonding wire around the pool, should have Pre-decking...

They can redo that section only. I had 0 cut on my corner of the spa. They sort of cut rows like an octopus legs so the middle can be spaced out and bend. https://i.imgur.com/nr34PT2h.jpg

Minor issue with the build, I am using bellecrete which is a precast concrete coping. The grout the company provides is a cement based grout, after 1 day of install it is already cracking between the coping. Is this normal? or should I demand a different type of grout that is able to deal with...

So pool contractor just emailed me, said to also look into Polishedscapes said it is smoother than regular plaster. Has anyone done this? Also, a predecking inspection will be needed soon and I wanted to find out if I do a ground level deck do I need the wire bonding to go under the deck like...

I have to fix the fence post prior to Quartzscape so maybe I'll try to jackhammer couple of the pavers see how easy it is to remove, if not I can just overlay a nice porcelain paver on top. The Deck I was thinking about doing real Ipe wood deck, doesn't really rain much at all in Los Angeles...

You can do this to the deep end like I did on mine, it does not need any rebar they said.

My sister made a render a while ago to envision the pool, will probably end up doing an Ipe ground level deck around the pool. Still need to figure out how to remove the pavers or just put thick porcelain tile over the pavers (they are cemented/mortared on top of concrete!).

Went with Delorean Gray grout it's a bit darker than the photo shows. The 2nd step it will be tiled only on the riser part to match the bottom of the spa wall. Here are some photos of the grout/tile, 4-5 more days until rest of the tile arrives.

Quick update, the artic lagoon I wanted was in very low stock and they could not promise the correct colors coming in from different warehouses. I went ahead and ordered Sunstone Lagoon (same as Tony's tile) it was a lot cheaper as well so I went a bit to town with the glass bling LOL. As of...

NPT in Van Nuys no longer has samples or artic lagoon to give, but they do have in stock some sheets of it, so if you ask they will let you see the whole sheet or maybe buy a sample. Ask the older man that works in the showroom he knows a lot. I ended up not going with Artic Lagoon because they...

Thanks, Kim, I am planning on ordering the TF Kit soon.

Forgot to post updates. Plumbing inspection passed with no problem, on Monday gunite guys showed up at 6:30am and were done by 12-1pm. Setup 2 manual sprinklers on a timer so I didn't have to be home to water it down but I am still hand watering in the morning and at night. Some plumbing...
