The triangle has grown so much in the past 15 years, it's crazy! I do miss that area too, just not the bugs! What I really miss is the afternoon thunderstorms.

Thank you Kim! I have started looking at these very helpful links and will have my husband know them well also. For now we are bonding with our new gunite shell. :)

Foxy- thank you for the recs on dog collar alarm, I didn't know there was such a thing! I am definitely going to look at getting that. I am super concerned for their safety as if they were little children. :) - - - Updated - - - omg, omg, omg they are doing shotcrete as we speak and it is...

Update on our progress- The plumbing and electric is finished. I will have to upload the pics! I just worked an OT marathon because dang this thing is expensive! (but so going to be worth it) The builder said they would extend out the bond beam/ wall around the corner about 3-4 feet at no extra...

Hi Foxy! No they have never been swimming before and it is really the only thing about our pool that makes me nervous. Most people have to worry about their children and toddlers, but frenchies are like toddlers in a way because their heads are so big and are a huge portion of their total body...

So far I have been pretty happy with our PB. They came and did excavation on Wednesday. Later that evening they gave us a pretty detailed itinerary of what would be taking the place in the following days. They have also called and emailed me the night before to let me know what will be happening...

:whip: lol - - - Updated - - - This turned out amazing! The marker tile is so so pretty! I love it. THAT travertine!!!!, AND the spillway- :salut: (BTW that should be a fainting emoji, but I didn't see one!)

Will- I see what you are saying, that pic gives a good visual. You guys are amazing. We are going to need to get creative and it may actually add to the over all visual look! I just don't want to spend too much more money, so will see what type of figures he gives us for this idea. - - -...

Your pool turned out really nice! I love the tile and stone combination.

Yesterday was the big day! Builder was here right on time and they immediately got to work. Everything is going as planned. There is one detail about the pool that I will hopefully get some feedback on from all of you wonderful people. At the right end of the picture you can see we have...

Wow, that seems really expensive with no spa! Did you check other builders in the area? We are going with Premier pools and we got all of the above with spa and more for under that cost. You should get a few more quotes.

Everyone is raving about the SWG so I'm going to discuss with my husband. This is our first pool so it is all very new! I had always thought SWG was bad for gunite, but I need to do some more research. Thank you for mentioning it again.

Your pool is turning out very nice! I love the wall and the stone. I can't wait to see the finished result. We are set to dig on Wed and we chose the radiance in Midnight Blue, so I'm curious about how you will like yours as well. - - - Updated - - -

That's an awesome story! Are you able to uncover the existing pool and work with it or do you have to start from scratch?

Thank you for input Kim and Tony. Yes I will be there for dig, I'm super excited! Good thoughts about different lights being turned off separately, I will definitely inquire on that. We're headed to Costco to stock up on gatorade for the crew. Tony- Yes two feet would be a BIG deal for your...

This design reminds me of a resort, very classy.

Everything is amazing!I can't wait to see it full of water!

Not less than 90 degrees? YIKES!

Our dig is all set for Wednesday---eeek! We had some delays by the builder due to some rainy days. Here are the plans, current with the exception of a just a few minor changes. Is four lights in our pool too many? Can you have too many lights?

Wow, thanks for sharing! What an amazing place you have. That copper is beyond beautiful.

Excellent Point! - - - Updated - - - True Captain Cannonball, the temps do drop at night, even on those 100+ days! We really like the darker colors and of course I have to have my bling! I should have taken a pic of the pool finish that they had. One looked grayish green, it was in the shade...

I'm loving the mid century modern look this is going to have, plus all of your windows and being able to see the pool and lovely backyard from inside the house!It's going to be amazing!

It looks really beautiful! I love the landscaping and the color of the water. Your family has a fun summer ahead for sure!

We stopped by the pool builder to look at pool finishes and tile just to double check our choices since we were really tired when we chose them previously. We made some updates and here is what we chose. This is NPT Silverstone Marine waterline tile and NPT lightwave Seaglass 1inch two rows...

I'm sorry I can't chime in on what went wrong or if it will get better, but I hope it gets better and fixed!

Here are our updated proposal pics. I'm going to have to go back to the design center to get the names of all the tiles and maybe take pics. I'm trying to read everything about pros and cons of equipment and our proposed features since this is all so new! Captaincannonball- Good idea about the...

Shantellylace- Your pool is really coming along! I LOVE the tile and rock choices, very pretty. It looks like you had some issues with the lightstreams tile, but it is really pretty! You have alot of it on your pool which really gives it that wow factor, very nice! You must be getting so...

Hi GWEGAN- We are inside Elk Grove, well right on the line near little town of Franklin. We are going with Premier. We just signed our contract and set to start first to second week of June. We will try to post pics throughout the process. I love seeing the pictures here, it really helps to get...
