Love the contrast of the light travertine/stonework against the blue tile.

Gunite trucks were at the house from 2pm - 9:30 last night.

Thanks, Popcorn!

Rain, rain, go away. Rough-plumbing was installed on Friday. Tropical Storm Cindy and her friends are turning my yard into a mud pit. Brand new floors installed in house last week + 5 dogs + tropical storm = unhappy mom

Thanks for all the info, guys. We have opted out of the heater. We shall see if I regret that decision later.

Marla, Yes, we would be doing natural gas as well. It's good to know that it doesn't automatically the gas bill up to epidemic proportions! Thanks for the info!

Swimming in the winter doesn't sound like a horrible prospect. - - - Updated - - - Good to know. I have a friend who could probably help me install. - - - Updated - - - That's exactly what I'm thinking. If I'm wearing shorts at Christmas, why can't I be swimming? ;-) - - - Updated - - -...

We didn't include a heater in our original design because I'm not getting a spa. Wondering how many of the Houston and other South-Texas (and other southern states) HAVE and USE a pool heater or wish they'd put one in during construction? If you have one, how often do you heat the pool during...

That's friggin' adorable.

Razorhog, That's the plan for phase II. The original concept for the pool was 4' of fire, but the kids voted for MORE FIRE, so we are going with 6'. Burn, baby, burn. I do have a bit of slope to my yard to contend with that may force me to build another minor-retaining wall. We shall see...

I saw the fire feature on Pinterest and I knew I was in trouble. Told the PB I knew it was going to take a big chunk out of my budget, but I had to have it. The entire back of my house is windows, so I wanted something to look out at during the "winter" months here in SE Texas. This is the...

Two weeks of this...as we wait on the HOA. And wait. And wait. - - - Updated - - - For anyone interested in our design:

Two weeks of staring at this due to waiting on the HOA.

I'm over by the Silverado theatre.

Gordon, I'm pretty in love with your signature line -- especially the part about the wife. lol.

I'm in Tomball too. Small world.

Can you post a link to the ones you purchased?

That decking is gorgeous!

Looks great!

Looks fantastic. Love the palm choices.

TF-100 on it's way to me.

Thank you for the welcome. I'm still trying to read through all the startup materials. :) Will get the test kit ordered ASAP.

Signed the contract on our build just last week. Anxiously awaiting the HOA approval so excavation can start. Went with Precision Pools and Spas out of Richmond, Texas. 2017 has been a crappy year for me and the kids -- my kids lost their father in January. No better way to bring the kids a...
