Thanks guys! Check out the difference! The lightness of the new stone is cutting dust. It'll be less chalky once it's washed off.

but the funny part is, they used an awesome matched stone, but used grey mortar instead of matching the existing tan color...can't win for losin', right?

 

[kimkats]

I went back and saw that.............what were they thinking??? OH well most people will be looking at the water getting ready to jump in and not even notice it! LOL

[twinkiesmommy2009]

Oh geez! I didn't notice until you said it but I see it now. I'd probably ask that they fix that. That's just common sense to me (using the same grout color) but at least it isn't too noticeable.

I'm looking at
Mortar stain. They make stuff for that reason.

Okay, despite the fact that the mortar color is wrong, the step makers aren't seashells like we ordered and the tile we wanted was Backordered, it's filling and looks absolutely amazing.

Romo's was fast, courteous, clean and did a great job. Yeah, things didn't go exactly as we planned, but really they were small things that in the big picture didn't matter that much and the results are well worth the compromise.

The pool looks white, but the blue Quartz is there. It'll take some brushing to get to really come alive, they said. Are the second pic for detail.

What a cute turtle! I love all of it! Where did the seashells go? I like what is there though.

Nice! Love the turtle too. For a 1994 SWG pool your flagstone looks great. I am o longer concerned with the stone around our soon to be built SWG pool.

I think I need to find a turtle mosaic...

 

[firehunter]

Asked our PB about mosaics and they directed me to a website that...had your turtle! Now to see how much one would be...

We got the 12" and it was like $75-95. That was an easy decision to make for us.

Thank you. I think we can swing that too. Did you buy yourself or go through your resurfacer?

Just paid them for it all. I'm sure t was marked up, but I don't really mind.

It looks great, what a match. FWIW, I would not have noticed the mortar difference...but I know what you're saying. I love all the kids packed into the spa. They're building great childhood memories without even knowing it!

 

[NorthOfDallas]

Yeah,in the end it doesn't even rank on the big-picture-scale.

As another point of note, they do the bicarbonate restart method which appears to be generally recognized as the best option according to TFP so far as I have read.
