No, did you look at the pics from my build? The difference in blue is extremely noticeable. I think yours looks good though!

Yes, I have your pics up next to mine. Going to go out and take a closer look at mine shortly.
The spa is being filled. Pool is still being acid wash. It's definitely looking more blue!
Whatever the color is named, it looks really great against the hues of your waterline tiles. And the abalone shells are sparkly awesomeness; have been upgraded to a "must have" for my pool!

A pool is such an individual and personal thing. Your concept looks awesome, but if we were to build it, we wouldn't make it 8 feet deep.... but that's just us. Other than that it looks like a neighborhood winner! Just my 2¢
I couldn't agree more. I just wanted to make sure he gets what he wanted. The finish looks great.

haha, lemme tell you about all of the times my now 23 yo son and his HS friends googled every pool in our neighborhood and went pool hopping -- hopefully that doesn't make him (or them) criminals, LOL. Never a call from a single neighbor -- good neighbors.
I will be sure to return the favor for future teenagers in neighborhood!
ew -- invest in numerous floats!!
This was a tough decision for me. I have three small children who love to jump/ dive in the pool, I wanted to build something they could do just that without worrying about hitting the bottom.

Took some closer pics (cell phone pics) of the pebble. It does appear to be a lighter (not as bright) as aqua blue in some spots, some spots it is brighter. Either way I really like the look. Waiting for it to be filled, up to 10,000 gallons already and it's not even 1/3 of the way full!
Well, find out what it is, because I like it for my pool! And good lord, how big is your pool??
All of the subs walk in my backyard and the first thing out of their mouth is "wow, that's a big pool." Perimeter is 140 linear feet including the spa. Pool is 38' long from the end of the reef step to the deep end and 22' wide at the biggest part. I'm thinking it should be around 30,000 gallons. I have a flow meter on the house so I can find out for sure.
Go big or go home, right?
I'm going to call the guy who did my mastic. He does a traditional start up. He wasn't familiar with the bi-carb startup.
Here is a link for you. It will get your plaster off to a good start!

Do you have a good test kit yet? If not look in my siggy for the test we use and love. THIS is the major tool to keeping your pool clear and making your plaster last a long time.

Looks really beautiful!!! Love the sparkle of the abalone shells and makes me super excited to see how ours turns out!
Sorry I didn't get pics up sooner. Pool took 40 hours to fill.
Spent the the day on the phone with bdavis466, he was kind enough to help me get the equipment running and guide me through the startup process. Thanks Brian!
Took these this afternoon. Can't wait to see what it looks like at night with the intellibrite LED lights. Will post a night pic when I get home. Under the sun the finish is brighter than what the earlier pictures show.
