Nice!

Couldn't have done it without all the great info and help found here! ���� Many thanks!

Great job. Is most of that work DIY?

 

[Lophat]

Everything but the deckwork, fence and canopies (Had a great local company for that). The ground prep (5 yards of road base and sand by wheelbarrow!) pool construction, plumbing and roughing in of the electrical and gas from the front of the house to the back, SYNLAWN, sound installation, new windows, was all DIY.

That's VERY nice!

Thank you! Best skill was talking wifey out of a master bedroom makeover for this instead! Lol!

 

[pooldv]

Ha! That Is probably next!

Really beautiful! Have you trained the birds to poop elsewhere or is that self-cleaning glass on the roof?

 

[pooldv]

What is that roof made of? Besides coolness?

Hi guys, sorry it's been awhile. The roof is aluminum and tempered glass that has a bronze tint. The front supports are clear 6 x 6 cedar timbers with 2" x 10" beams. It'll need washing come springtime, guaranteed!
