    Thank you! We got in for the first time yesterday and my boys didn't want to get out. Their smiles made all the stress worthwhile.

    We covered it with the same split face stone that’s on the wall, and we’re planning some landscaping around it. I don’t hate it as much as I did.

    It’s Pebble Sheen Blue Granite. That’s my favorite part. It’s the perfect mix of blue and turquoise.

    We went with Pewter, which is a warm tone gray.

    Pool is done. Started 6 Jun, completed 25 Aug. We’re happy with the results, especially the finishings we chose. There are a few “punch items” left...hoping PB takes care of them soon. Swim school is scheduled for next Wednesday. We’ve been too busy to swim, but it’s going to be ON Saturday! 😂...

    Construction Delays? High Demand/Covid Delays = Long Waits

    We signed the contract at the end of Mar, started digging 6 Jun and we started swimming today. PB initially told us 6-8 weeks, but they got super busy soon after we signed and that delayed us a few weeks. My sister-in-law lives in Columbia, SC...they have a year wait list.

    Still happening...plaster completed!

    Start watering as soon as it's done. We watered ours twice a day for about 8 days.

    Still happening...plaster completed!

    Our crew left a bunch of trash too, but never beer cans. Are they drinking on the job? I'd have a problem w/ that. Talk to your foreman.

    Please help me choose my tile, coping and stone (pics included)

    This is the second time I’ve had them change out tiles. They’ve been great about it both times. I’m sure they’re talking about me behind my back but that’s ok. I’ll give them a case of beer next week. 😁

    Please help me choose my tile, coping and stone (pics included)

    I’m right here with you! Like Dirk suggested, I’ve asked for things to be changed. I’m always polite, but the foreman knows I’m not taking no for an answer. We’re spending way too much money for it to have flaws that will bother us every time we look at it. I’m having them replace tile for the...

    Please help me choose my tile, coping and stone (pics included)

    The tiles I chose have a blend of turquoise and deep blue and every tile is different (some have more blue, some have more turquoise). I'm happy with my selection; however, I'm not happy with the placement of the tiles. We're having them replace about 7 of them to create a more cohesive look in...

    100% true...my tile looks much different now that it's up.

    Yes! This is great advice. I wish I would have read this months ago. I'm about to have them pop off several tiles because they sure didn't consider placement.

    They never even mentioned it. Several neighbors have theirs even higher out of the ground.

    Here are our design features (Silver NPT Travertine, Granite Blue Pebble Sheen, Turquoise tile). We’re trying to decide on Sundek color. Would love your opinions! Options are: Franciscan Tan, Kahlua, Tweed Gray, and Pewter (they would all go well with our house brick/stone colors.

    I believe the plan was to add spray with Sundek, but now you have me wondering. I’ll have to check when I get home.

    I hope you’re right. I’m feeling a bit defeated and like our pb let us down.
