A few shots.

Sweet. Thank you!

Hahaha. You’d probably win that bet. Yeah, I’ve got to get on that once the weather goes back to normal. It has a lock as it sits, but it’s only accessible from the outside. However what I’m thinking is I will add a “level lock” smart lock and not install a front Keyed portion. I can’t really...

Promise to DIY, and guess what happens. The issue I see here is the latch is on the outside of the gate. I’ll add a secondary latch so I can control access from inside. I really really want a smart latch (Apple HomeKit). But so far I haven’t found anything of the sort. As a rule I don’t enter...

Did a little vacuuming over the weekend. Still waiting on them to come finish installing IFCS jets. this is super blue quartzscapes

Thank you. This build might take the cake for the longest build ever. I’m pleased with the craftsmanship overall thus far. Definitely better than my previous build.

Thank you! Luckily I’m not that naive. He’s an extremely busy contractor and this is probably his smallest job, so I kinda get it...but I’m still annoyed. I’m procuring a few tools and have drawn the plans for the gate. Next weekend should be eventful unless something else gets in the way. I...

Still waiting on 1/2 the lights. It’s already phenomenal at night. So glad the fill water here is better than West Texas. Keeping an eye on the pH and it’s nowhere near as frustrating. The gate guy has gone missing in action, so next weekend I’ll be building gates. Sadly I don’t have lots of...

Currently, I have a rule. “No stupid people”. 😂 once I fall in, I’ll add railing. I will be the first...guaranteed.

I’m pleased. Can’t wait for all the finishing touches to be done.

I’m applying an automotive grade ceramic coating to the stainless surfaces. It’s a gamble as it may not work as intended. crossing my fingers

45”

What specifically do you mean? part with stainless surround is where the fridge will go. I’m about to wipe down all the stainless and ceramic coat it.

GREAT MINDS!! I’ve screen capped the start up from NPT.

Chugging along.

I haven’t posted in awhile as getting contractors to do fencing and other stuff has been absurdly challenging. It has been a very long road, luckily I wasn’t in a huge rush...We are coming close to completion. They are plastering with quartzscapes super blue. More pics coming.

Sorry for lack of delays, I’ve been very busy. And my pool builder has been very slow due to our area being a hotbed of the Rona. Travertine is almost done. Tile is done, they are going to start on walls, and playing in the kitchen. They went with travertine for the bar which wasn’t my first...

Not a bad idea at all. Im thinking granite for countertops. Really like the idea of tile for the inside walls. I believe they are going to work on the pavers soon. Hoping that will give my wife a better idea of what it will all look like. Also going to make sure they waterproof both sides of...

how many of you are willing to sleep together? You guys are always welcome. I’ll even furnish the third bedroom that we may have not bothered to furnish thus far.

They have been playing a little more with the travertine coping. I really think it will be nice looking. The large pavers are what we chose, they brought a few to show. I’m thinking granite for the bar. I have granite in the house and thought about making this match. Not sure on that front...

Thank you. Martins build will blow your mind. It’s like something from HGTV. they were going to come today but this morning was occupied with a gnarly storm.

Don’t really know how they did it to be honest. It’s been awhile now and we’ve had some rains to help compact it. It will need manual compaction Before the pavers go down. pool hit a small (non-pool caused) hiccup so we had a delay. Now things are rolling again. So, got a shipment of coping...

They brought in a little dirt today.

Lol. Dang, you’ve been itching for that haven’t you? I actually bought another TF-100 kit prior to starting so I could see what I’m going up against water wise. Luckily it’s better than West Texas. Oh roof shot

Thank you Martin, if y’all come back by, you can come onto the property. Don’t worry, jackie is a terrible shot. :ROFLMAO: Somewhat related, Stay safe everyone.

Some things happened today. They were at least moderately busy. 70yds of concrete per the PB. Financial advisor is not pleased with me. But you only live once.

In other news, I just saw 2-3 dolphins from my back porch. They tore up some trout I’m betting.

I haven’t measured it since the rebar went in. I did measure some aspect when they were digging. It satisfies. I did ask for the owner to come over and check out the retaining wall they have setup with rebar. I don’t believe it’s going to be as tall as we had suggested. So want to make sure...

Took a shot from the roof of the house. they expect to shoot concrete next week. updates may be a bit slow...work is...special. Hope everyone here stays safe and well.

Yeah. Still higher than the surrounding lands, basically level with the lot prior to pool build. Well. Not quite that low. But close.
