Hi all! Pool has been beautiful since build finished in October. Two days ago looked like I had a brownish yellow patch on wall section of pool. Brushed it off and Shocked the pool. Went to pool store yesterday and bought jack's magic yellow and put two 6 oz. bags in and shocked pool again...

August 19th and August 20th...deck, rebar and drains...

JTS, trying to go in order on my picture progress. I will try to get it caught up by early part of this next week to get to the plaster and water color. If I could do anything different at this point, I think I would add another water spigot behind my pool in the backyard as not to have to...

Congrats on getting your pool started, JTS! We love the size of our pool! Good luck with your build and we hope to see some pics! We just got our plaster put in yesterday and they poured the acid in today after we got the pool filled. I am trying to catch up on my picture posts here. I...

Thanks, Brushpup. I did see that one. I appreciate it, though. That was the only one I could find that had Sunstone Smoke. We are getting "plastered" on Wednesday. We decided to go with Sunstone Smoke. Hope I like it! Will post again sometime this week.

Okay. Throwing a question out there....thoughts and opinions appreciated. We had to pick our plaster color and decking color. We are going with Sunstone Smoke for the plaster and Mission Tan for the spray decking. Does anyone have either of these that could post a picture for me? I would...

August 4th - Gunite :party:

Sorry it has taken me so long to post. Things have been busy! August 2nd & 3rd - Finishing rebar for the pool and stub out of plumbing. More to follow. I promise it will be soon!

Nice tile choice!

Thanks for that info! Fantastic! Now, I will have a salt water pool. Does that affect in any way the kit that I buy? This forum great for info! I appreciate it!

A couple more dig shots... Water in the deep end... August 1st - First day of rebar! The workers started the rebar. I called my pool builder that morning to see if we could get the dozer to return to make some adjustments to the grading in the deep end. I was nervous because I stood...

Great tip on the test kit. One is included, but I don't think it's the better test kit. Seems like I read the best is maybe the 5 part test kit or something? I think the one that I am getting that is included is maybe a 4 part? I may be misremembering. I will definitely read back up on that...

I know, the process has been interesting. I, too, have looked at many of the build pictures on this forum. That is why I decided to document our own build. To answer your question, our pool will be 8'6" and we will have a diving board. I will try to post more pictures today, as we are at the...

A few more dig pictures...

End of May we started interviewing pool builders. After interviewing two different pool builders, we made our choice and signed on the dotted line on June 27th. We were told it would take a couple weeks for permits, so we were hoping to start week of July 11th. One of the builders/owners...

We met with two different builders and ended up going with Decorative Pools. We r starting the building process this week.

Does anyone have pictures of their pool with this Noble Tile Vanuatu Blue? I have not been able to find any pics other than what is on the Noble Tile website.

Ok. I am totally confused. Please straigten me out. We signed our paperwork several weeks ago and started looking at tile. Our builder offered Master Tile at that time and Diamond Brite for plaster choices. Today we went in to look again for some different tile selections to bring home and now...

Looks great! What type flagstone and plaster did you use? I really like the color!

Thanks so much for all of your input and insights and for taking the time to look over our bid. We have taken all of our final questions and questions gleaned from your input to our builder and have now made all of our final decisions! I feel so much more confident after having gotten so much...

Okay, great. Thanks for letting me know about the inlets. I had no idea that was one and the same. Sounds like I am covered as far as having plenty. I am so glad I found this forum! It is great to get advice from those knowledgable on the subject of pools. It will Make signing our contract...

Thanks for the reply! Any suggestion on what we should use other than flagstone for the spa? We are using flagstone for the coping. This pool builder said he will seal the flagstone. We really like the look. I am really nervous, though, from all I have been reading about salt water and...

We plan on signing on the dotted line soon. Here are our final specs, after making some alterations to the original. We are first-time pool builders, so I want to make sure we get all the advice we can from people who have have been down this road. Thanks in advance for any insight you can give...
