The color really changes depending on the light. This evening i noticed the color as being aqua versus the very blue you see in the pics which were taken with a bright overhead sun. And the night shot was taken with a blue light on the LEDs.

Platinum Pools. I called 5 builders, got three quotes and went with the person I felt most comfortable with.

Awesome looking pool. Sounds like my PB, we tried to get it done before we went on vacation for 3 weeks. Pool wasn't done until 2 weeks after we left. If you can, think about alternatives for you not being there. I was considering changing my flight arrangements. Good thing I didn't, because...

very nice design, I agree on losing the Nature 2, and going with LED's instead of standard. Pricier but more energy efficient and ability to change colors depending on mood is awesome. I also found that a blue light attracts less bugs than the white light.

the glass itself is very smooth, but the grout lines do help to give some grip, so its not that slippery. it does feel smooth overall except where tiles don't fit flush. This is not a pool finish for those who are OCD. For the most part, all tiles are smoothly transitioned especially considering...

Yes, I kept two stacks of tile, though I wonder how that gets fixed when they pop out at the bottom of the pool.

About $8000 more. I did not want the roughness of the pebble. I would have liked the Pebble where they grind it down like a terrazzo, but my PB was not confident in the finish. - - - Updated - - - thanks for the kind words everyone. I am very happy with how it turned out, especially the...

Here's a night shot with pumps off, so the water is really still and clear. Sent from my RM-893_nam_att_206 using Tapatalk

So it went from this To this This is the 6ft deep end. You can see my Nautilus busy as ever. Moved around a few pieces of furniture - - - Updated - - - So there you have it, no need to wait weeks for the next step, although I bet that is a big part of some of these threads, the...

And it's done. Finished up the week after July 4th, just before we got back from our trip. Taken at dusk with the LED's on. The pool looked a little cloudy to me, good thing I had my TF100 kit all ready and waiting. CH = 50! Remember the water softener? My external hose bibs uses the...

Jun 1st 15 days to us being away on vacation...for 3 weeks. The other keepback was the tile man the PB wanted was supposed to be their specialist, and he was still finishing up another person's pool. Needless to say, we had to leave before the pool was finished.

May 24th This is where things slowed down greatly. One issue was the chopped rock on the back wall was not in stock and we elected to wait on the shipment to come in. One or two weeks they said. In the meantime, we did the pool decking. I did concrete with the "Cool Deck" type finish. The...

I went back and added some pics of the gunite crew doing their thing. I had taken those photos using my GoPro. I saw someone had posted a timelapse of their gunite install, and really liked the idea, so I did the same. I had horrible reflections though because of where I was in relation to the...

April 16th Waterline tiles and flagstone coping were installed I hope it looks better when its done ;) Some of the coping is just cut and fitted, to be mortared into place. Scuppers need to be installed first before capping off.

April 10th Gunite crew was out at 630am. My neighbors love me I know. By 10am, all Gunite was done. Gunite crew at work stairs were formed out of gunite The bench is reinforced Columns were hand formed, and you can see the scupper locations and plumbing Fortunately, it rained a...

April 4th Time for the plumbing works. I have a water softener system, and a sprinkler system. The sprinkler bypasses the water softener, so the autofill line connects to the sprinkler. Jandy equipment all plumbed in Next step is gunite.

Top floor view of destruction Rebar work was done April 2nd

Bobcat entered the side fence. I am on a corner lot so the truck and bobcat used the main road and came in directly to the site. I had to remove my flagstone pathway as well But the dig was done in short order. We started early April 2014 and was trying to have it done before mid-June. The...

Well actually, my pool has already been built finally and I can enjoy it. It took just about 3 months to complete, and all the great pool builds and progress reports here helped to show me the way. I am forever grateful to this website and wonderful community. I also have taken advantage of the...

Hi all, This seems like a great site. I have been lurking for a couple weeks and decided to join after realising my first goto site for information was this one. I am in the process of choosing my PB (picked up some of the acronyms already). Looking forward to get my project started soon and...
