    Spa Vs Stand Alone Hot Tub? Help! Save my marriage.

    Integrated looks great and is easy to jump in straight out of the pool. Otherwise, a stand alone beats it in all areas. It is always hot. Cheaper to heat. More comfortable. More jets. Do you really want to be in the middle of winter (when a hot tub is best) and have to think ahead to turn on the...

    Excavating problems.. who is responsible?

    I think the PB is way out of bounds to ask for more. That happened to my pool too....and the PB ate it, as they should. They said it happens pretty regularly on builds, but I never thought for a second I would have to pay more, and neither did they.

    Baja Shelf Depth

    One more thing...you will need the "Deep" version of Ledge Lounger for that depth. The standard one is not made for that depth.

    Baja Shelf Depth

    We built ours at 14”, and think much shallower would not be good. It’s about perfect for hanging out in or out of chairs on the ledge.

    Pool size help!

    I don’t think so. We just filled our new 20x50 Gothic Design, and my wife and I were just saying how we are glad we went big and wouldn’t want it any smaller. I think you go as big as you can...I haven’t ever heard someone wish they had built a smaller pool.

    Sunstone Pearl feel...St. Lucia Pearl color opinion?

    Amazingly...we have not plastered yet, it is hopefully happening this week! We had a lot of delays with the county inspection process, and then the company has been slow between steps...but hopefully we finish this week. We are going with Sunstone Pearl St. Lucia Pearl. Not a lot of pictures out...

    think made mistake on grout color... too late having anxiety!!

    We are putting in the exact same tile right now....we are really happy with it, and I had no idea what color the grout was. I had to go look, and it looks about the same as yours, maybe 1 shade lighter. I naver thought once about the grout color until now...but it looks fine, and the tile looks...

    step marker tiles required?

    I haven't heard of a code requiring them...but maybe somewhere? We went back and forth on them and decided to go without on our current build. I just think it looks a little more modern and clean without. In looking at the pool building shows these days....they don't seem to be used at all. I...

    Diving Board Type / Size

    Any recommendations on sepcific type / brand / model of diving board? We are building a 50x20' pool with a 9.5" deep end, which complies as a type IV diving pool. I want to be conservative, so am still leaning toward a 6' board with some spring (hopefully), to give a margin of safety. We are...

    Sunstone Pearl feel...St. Lucia Pearl color opinion?

    Hello, we are considering using Sunstone Pearl for our new pool....a large pool with a tanning shelf. Anyone choose Sunstone Pearl and regret it because of the feel? Secondly, we wanted a darker blue water effect so chose St. Lucia pearl. We went based on the sample as there don’t seem to be any...
