Thank you so much for the reply and feedback. I am wondering if White Micro might be better as it looks a LOT more bright white. Has anyone done the White Micro that could help us out? I checked the Color Viewing Room, but I do not see anyone that has this finish.

I am now realizing I could have saved myself a lot of trouble in other areas if I had started here first. But we are almost to the point of Coping, and starting to think about the interior finish. We want a midcentury modern type feel (workign with what we had to start with)and had been set on...

Sorry for the late reply, I am assuming you are talking about the lights along the house? They are made by Hinkley - Piza is the model name.

Things have been moving along slowly... but the finishing touches have started.

Wow!!!!! That's all I have.....

Thanks for all of your help guys! I added bleach and raised the calcium a little (per the pool calculator)..... I will test it again tomorrow and report back.

I think that 1.5 was for TC my bad! I never saw this other test for FC.... What do I do?

This was from the t-100 test kits.... But the FC scale only goes up to 5, am I missing something? 1.5 was right in the sweet spot on the test tubes the pool builder provided....

So we are in limbo waiting 30 days for our SWG to be installed. I am a total newbie... But here it what the tests showed. Fc- 1.5 Cc- 0 Ph-7.6 TA- 100 Ch- 200 Cya- 45 I added a few ounces of acid per the pool calculator. Is there anything I am missing? Thanks!

It's the sand/acrylic pebble they use for the grass.... It gets everywhere....its all cleaned up now!

The grass went in last week.... yes look at all that debris in the pool...... :( The idea behind it came from eliminating the plastic pool drain and joining the slate and travertine decks. I think it turned out quite well (better once the slate gets sealed)! Onto the next phase - we decided...

Wow that is a great list! Thank you so much! I am in a pinch to get this done before family visits.... So I may have to chance it with what I have for now..... I will need your help when it comes time to replant!!!

Yes they are giant hesperaloe... I figured I could keep them trimmed up pretty good? No? Maybe this is the reason I have landscaped my back yard 3 times in 7 years.... You can see the first few pictures to get an idea of the plants we have at our disposal (I really didn't want to waste...

Good call on the Hesperaloe!!! Should I be enlisting your help to come and let me know what to plant? There is a cold beer in it for you lol

Thanks! Time to start landscaping and get this project completed, the yard is still a disaster. Here are a few new photos of how things are moving along. The builder was nice and upgraded us to the color changing intellibrites as they did not have the white bulbs in stock.

Thanks! That was something my wife would not let them destroy. It hasn't even been shut off for the 2 years prior to the build. My wife loves it... so it stayed!

The PB was great about the pebble issue. The installer came by within a couple hours and piped down some acid and brushed it. He will be back in the morning, but is sure he can get it fixed!

My wife came home and was threatening to jump in.... I think she was bluffing lol. Hopefully we can swim soon!!!

I figured it wasn't right. What can they do to fix it?

Hi, I am not sure if I am supposed to start a new thread or post this under my build. But I just filled the pool today, and noticed the Pebble Sheen is very blotchy. The applicator told me her had to patch around the drain, which explains the light spots. But the larger darker ring appears...

Here are some pics with it filled... no chemicals yet. PB should be here for the start up tomorrow.

I might be in trouble when it comes to doing the pool math huh? It is a little blotchy in areas... will that get any better?

Oh ok I understand, that's really too bad. It's going to be a great pool though. Sorry for the bad luck on the dig!
