    New Pool Build - North Dallas in Allen (East)

    Quote : "The A/V guys came to the house this weekend and explained to me the possibilities of Sonos! He thinks we should have three zones in the back (one for the TV and covered patio, one for the tanning ledge area and another one for the rest of the pool). It seems really cool as you can...

    Are tanning shelves worth it?

    For the tanning ledge, I think it all depends on how you are going to use your pool. During our design phase we went back and forth on the tanning ledge. Initially, we thought it would be a nice place for little kids to hang out and play in. But our littlest one has learned how to swim in...

    Glass beads seeded in Stonescapes Mini Pebble?

    Jro33176: So I looked up the tag on one of the boards and it is Eucaboard made from Eucalyptus trees. The rebar guys used it to keep the rebar out of the mud since it rained a little bit yesterday and it was a little muddy in the bottom. The gunite guy is here today and I asked about the...

    VegasKid nice design and howdy neighbor. It took us a little while to pick a PB and just a couple of things I learned while we were going through this process that might help others. Not only research your PB but also research the contractors and subcontractors they may use. We interviewed...

    New Pool Build, Modern Design-Cypress, Texas

    Here's what we have decided on our pool design. There will be some minor tweaks to the back wall design and the left bump out area will be equal in length to the step areas. This PB is the only one that came close to the modern design we were looking for and not just a rectangle... We are...

    Jewelscapes pool finish

    Brushpup your NPT link shows the exact finish we've been looking at for the spa. So is Jewelscape part of the Wetedge line or is it a completely different product that NPT offers? This is where I am a bit confused. Also how long has the Jewelscape line been around? I think Hubby and I will...

    Jewelscapes pool finish

    We are getting very close to our design and looking at pool finishes. We've looked at diamond brite, pebble tec, wet edge and jewelscapes. I've been looking for reviews in the jewelscape classic line and did not find much. Does anyone about the durability if this product when compared to...
