Just heard from PB - tile and coping starts tomorrow!!!! Yay so excited!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You guys nailed it! Just met an awesome contractor and he is going to build us an amazing outdoor kitchen. The pipe has to be straight and does have to go through the roof as thats the way Chicago Brick Ovens are made and intended - no bends - maximizes heat and disbursement. Here is the...

Ok so here i changed the drawing again to add the straight counter with the barstools looking out toward the pool - which is a better view :) Great birthday gift to my husband - get to grilling! Cant get the pic to rotate - Sorry!

Thanks ummgood - I like it too - the only reason i didn't run it all the way across to the next column was to allow access to the deck and spa without having to walk around - However once i have a professional help me design it may change a little. I like the fact that it gives a little bit of...

I am on it! Contacted HomeAdvisor and they are sending over two roofing contractors that are going to bid on fluting the pizza oven through the roof. This will allow for us to build it in next to a grill and add a counter space for barstools - I have created a new drawing of what I want - let me...

Yes I am with the both of you - I want to keep the grill and pizza oven together whichever side i put it on. If i was to put it on the left side I do have two other bedroom windows that have an amazing view of the pool so i don't mind so much putting the pizza oven there. As a matter of fact i...

No we don't live on a canal - although that would be super cool especially if it was the Guadalupe or the Comal! We live in a subdivision that has lakes (retention Ponds) and we were lucky to purchase a Village builder home that has waterfront. The right side of my patio is the walkway from...

Ok as I am waiting on something new to happen to the pool - i will move on to the next design which is adding an outdoor grilling area to the existing patio. Need some advice on this...The pizza oven that you see in the picture is not built in - we simply had used some pavers from one of our...

Funny Kim - I am learning the mantra "less is more"! So what should I be doing while waiting on the finishing touches to this pool? What's the one thing you guys say was the best purchase you made for your pool? Floats, plastic tumblers for Rita's in the pool, chaise lounges, etc... Sent from...

I know spray deck is an upgrade to Pea gravel/Aggregate but i think we are going to go back to go back to the original plan of pea gravel for decking. I feel as if it will give us a better look up against the beautiful travertine coping and is no additional cost to us. We are getting quotes to...

Just heard tiling and coping will be next week instead of this week. It feels like it's just been sitting there for two weeks with nothing done. Insert sad face! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks everyone - whew made it through the selection day - I have been dreading today all last week! We have some time to decide on color for the spray deck so we will wait until the tile and coping is done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Kim - I think that's the one we are doing! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so here are our 2 Options: Mountain Ledgestone Stacked Rock for back wall - Rough Edge Flagstone Coping and Silverstone Marine Tile - Carvestone Decking (Expensive) or Spray Deck (Cheap) in Houston Tan. Travertine Split Face Antico Onyx for back wall - 16x16 Castle Cream Travertine for...

I will let you all know soon - fingers crossed I don't lose my mind trying to decide and i feel good about my decisions when i leave. Suz, i am not sure of the difference between carved stone and stamped concrete but i will find out - I really love that photo as well - but who knows maybe it...

Did anyone else feel like they were talking to celebrities when some of the senior people chimed in on their post - because I get giddy when I see you all respond after reading all of your pool experiences! How do you like your Sun Deck? My appointment with the PB is in 30 minutes so any last...

Here are some samples of what i like : CarveStone: BlueStone: Flagstonecut Differently than normal: StampedConcrete:

Hi Marla - I believe we are going with a thick rough cut Flagstone! Similar to what you see on the columns in the picture....

Here is what our columns and back wall should look like - this is a pic from a different PB that i am trying to match : Our Back Columns and Spa will look Similar to this: What would you put with this for decking?

NEED DECKING HELP!!!! OK here is my dilemma - We had originally signed up for Pea Gravel as i like the rustic look of it...However i know it splits, cracks, pebbles pop out, it gets hot,etc....So I started to explore other options...First I thought Pavers would be nice - and i like the idea of...

Tomorrow we are going to the builder to place our final selections on tile coping stonework for back wall and decking. I'm sure I am not the first to be second guessing - but OMG I am! Do I want a stacked stone all the way across or should I break it up at the columns to give it more depth...

Thanks Suz and wjaneala! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We really wanted the SW pool but we have a narrow yard - iron fence and windy backyard. The PB talked us out of it due to salt eroding the iron fence and putting dimples in our back windows - we had heard other complaints from neighbors as well although I really wanted it. I believe they...

Thanks Kim - easy reading after dinner tonight! Keep the advice coming y'all! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Kim for the kind words on the pool...Can you point me to a thread that discusses the Nature 2 fusions and Clear ozone system so i can read up on it...I am also searching through threads as well...

Fastest pool build ever -said no one ever! HAHAHAHA Amandahein3 - I absolutely loved reading through your build...I was showing your selections to my husband last night and is one of the reasons I am so up in the air with mine right now....I want to stick to a classical look so that it doesn't...
