The Pool has been up and running for 6 weeks now. The follow-up from the PB has been great. They did an additional final grade (thank you James) and clean/rake of the yard today, power washed the driveway/deck and the service department will take care of a small metallic stain on the love seat...

If you add bleach to your pool as a sanitizer won't that increase the rate of TDS building up in the long run? What is the other 90% of the liquid?

Thank you lace and jo. I was looking at the rendering as well...what an amazing sales tool. The guess strips were a disappointment... It's called Blue Tahoe. The PB has the pump running 22 hours at 2950 RPMs. They gave me a vacuum but said just brush it. I see the dust getting kicked up...

Pool filled in 20 hours @ 600 + - Gallons per hour, using two hoses. We have a website called aquahawk, that will send alerts from the water company to an email address. The PB startup guy came by at noon and installed the valve actuator, skimmers, return jets, 2 gallons of acid, quart of...

I wrote a letter Monday night to the 3 key people working on our pool after speaking with a structural engineer in Dallas. When I contacted the structural engineer, who's firm specializes in DR Horton homes, this is what he said. "Since this is a renovation you run into such situations that...

It looks like a brick ledge is under the metal threshold of the door.....This is good because I feared it was a wood footer. The brick ledge is a 1 inch difference between the living area cement and the cement where the bricks are laid. It creates and elevation for moister/water fall away...

I hear you... so let me flip the script. The PB was more worried about the wall being protected for 20 years because a door can be replaced and I have travertine on the other side, not wood. Weak...but I didn't have anything to add in the moment. I can't change the patio cement because it...

Yesterday they cleaned up the cement shell, brought in some clean dirt and graded around the yard. This morning they moved the Jacuzzi out of the garage and onto the pad. Placed the drain caps in the yard, deck and skimmers (brass). The director of construction, the super and the...
