And we have have water! Should start up equipment tomorrow. The water color turned out a lot greener than what we were shown in other pools with the same finish. PB says it will get more blue as the water is balanced and the pebbletec cures, is this true? I don’t hate the green tint, but it’s...

Thanks! We really like the look of the stone, it turned out great. Glass tile didn’t really fit what we were going for, but I’ve seen several that look great. I don’t think you can go wrong with either!

Had a bit of a delay with pebbletec. The finish we originally chose (pebblesheen white diamonds) that was available 2 weeks ago ended up being unavailable. Rather than wait, we ended up switching to a very similar color (white satin). Applied yesterday, and detail crew should be out today to...

Decking crew finished up yesterday, including the drainage system. Waiting to hear back on a plaster date now!

Tile and coping went in today. Coming back tomorrow to do toe tile and install the stone on the back of the raised wall as well as grouting tile. We went with a darker blue grout to blend with the tiles. Getting closer!

Talked to builder this morning, and they're going to relocate the cell to solve both issues. Electricians should be here today to get power run to the equipment pad. The build has moved surprisingly fast, at least in this early stage. In 8 days we went from nothing to a plumbed gunite shell. We...

Plumbers were here yesterday and today installing the equipment. I have a few questions I’ve already sent over to the builder, but I wanted some insight on if these are things we should really push for when we talk to them. 1. The IC-40 manual states 12”-18” of straight pipe before the SWG...

Ok that makes sense, seemed kinda strange at first. I’ll PM you the builder. Not sure what the policy is on naming publicly.

Gunite done! Plumbing and electrical later this week. Looks like they left a few holes in the gunite all the way down to dirt. Is this normal? Maybe a way to verify thickness? Waiting on a response from builder, but I’m impatient 🙃 .

Rebar crew came by this morning. Moving along!

Dig day! Made a few changes based on the previous feedback: Increased depth by 6" across pool (now 4' sloping down to 5'6") Swapped the tab feeder and EasyTouch for an IC40 & Intellicenter. Interestingly once I pushed a little, PB had little trouble finding the equipment for us. Rebar...

Thanks for the info! Discussing a few of these with PB now and will definitely check out your build thread.

Our PB is telling us that SWG’s are 3-6 months out and my wife doesn’t want to wait. Trying to see if we can order it now and plumb the equipment in a way we can swap later. That way we don’t delay anything, but still end up with a proper setup. Thanks for the suggestion though, the more I read...

We're getting a pool! My wife and I have always talked about building a pool and this year we decided to stop talking about it and go for it! Fingers crossed everything should start moving very shortly. I discovered TFP through a Google search a few weeks back and all the pool content is...
