We have water! :D We've had water for a while now :oops:, but it's been a very busy summer (lots of entertaining!) and then we rolled right into the school year. Pool is still open though! Next week we close it for the fall/winter season. :( Some shots of the pool "with water." ;) IMG_4310...

Acid wash was done today. Some things concern me. My husband will be getting in touch with the PB to see what the deal is. (I'm also trying not to be nit picky, as I don't know what's "normal" for Pebbletec finishes. Brown spots in spa and in pool. I'm assuming it's from a few leaves that fell...

LOL. The kids don't seem to be fazed by the fact that the pool isn't complete. It's my husband and I that are going crazy. Pebbletec guys came today and now that the kids see "blue", they're getting excited. My soon to be 11 yr old daughter was trying on her bathing suits to see if they fit...

Yeah, I think it's the same company. My husband said the guy he originally spoke with was Rob and the crew that showed up yesterday said they come from CT. I didn't catch the name of the company or where in CT they're located. My husband is angry...to put it lightly. We were supposed to...

Things are moving along again. It's either a stand still or a mad rush. Pool guys just showed up asking what color fittings did I want...white or gray? Of course when I asked my husband this question last month, I was told we already had all the fittings and they were white. Well, being that...

So...we're changing the spa coping. :D Both my husband I just aren't feeling what's currently there. It's just not what we pictured in our minds. (Thankfully we're both on the same page and it's not just me being nit-picky. ;) ) We can't really blame the PB though, so we're having 2" thick...

So tile crew came and installed the spa coping...but it wasn't done the way my husband discussed with the PB and tile guy. My husband and I just don't like the way it came out. :( We dislike the grout lines. (I don't know if I hate the grout lines in general or how dark they are.) We had...

I believe my husband plans on building something to cover it.

Bluestone for the fireplace comes tomorrow, in the meantime the masons started facing it with the stone. Tile contractor will begin tile install end of this week, possibly next week. We're hoping to complete the backyard irrigation and run electric & water back to the shed by the end of the...

That's going to be a beautiful pool, but I think the concrete would look a bit too contemporary/modern with our setting. We were going to use travertine in our original pool build plans, but I kept pushing the glass agenda :oops: (against my PB advice), plus we were concerned about how well...

Bummer. PB and tile guy were here. They strongly suggested that we not use the glass tiles on the top of the spa because of liability. They're just too slippery and being that the top of the spa is used as a step to enter the spa, it's just too risky. Plus I'm pretty confident my kids will be...

Thanks Kim! :) Yeah, tomorrow I'm going to give the white paper a try to see the difference. We spoke with the PB about grout because I know I don't want white. I asked him if he could do something closer to the color of the Pebblesheen and he didn't seem to think that would be a problem...

Now if only I could convince my husband to add the Luminous Beads with the Pebblesheen. :D ;)

We're hoping to move forward with the pool this week. Tile is in, so hopefully they can get the pool drained/cleaned and started on that. The tile we went with (unfortunately I no longer have the Irish Mist pebblesheen sample): And the pool & patio in its current state: We're...
