I wanna hire your decking contractor [emoji6]
That water looks good too! You must be following the pool store advice very closely ?

They sawed down every old-growth redwood tree they could find in Muir Woods and made their own planks ... Mike has a really big chainsaw ....
(Real answer : composite decking)
That is really turning out AWESOME! I LOVE the color of the deck!
I bet those uprights are level beyond level!

Thanks Matt! We need to redo our deck and I love the color of that decking. Composite makes it even better.
What a great job y'all have done!

Thanks for thinking of me with the upstairs shots! I love seeing the work in progress. It's nice to know these amazing places don't just happen via a magic wand!
It must be better working conditions knowing you can jump in the pool to cool off!

Yes, that has become a blessing and a curse. We did have a day or two of procrastination while we swam [emoji23]
Mike and I worked on the decking yesterday and today and we got a huge chunk done. I'd say there is about a quarter left to do

What's really interesting is I thought your coping looked a lot more grey (dark) when you installed it but now, in almost every picture, it looks practically white....
Thanks everyone [emoji5]
The deck is the same as the coping - hot hot! I'm hoping the two patio covers we build will shade it more. We may also add some sun sails.
Matt - the coping is darker than regular concrete but the pictures make it look lighter because it's so bright out. I do think about sealing it - maybe with a matte coat just to darken it a little but that's a project for when we start fine tuning everything

I've just stumbled onto your build and have been stalking it a bit. Some great laughs in there! Great looking pool and finish. I love how it's coming along. You two have some great skills and patience. The pic of the pool in post #1031 (!!) is awesome. So.. when ya gonna fill it with water?? Lol. Your gonna look out there one day and scream wondering where all your water went.
I don't usually follow build threads, but this one is too interesting to pass on.

My favorite part of the thread was the DIY Igloo/Garbage Disposal Margarita Machine...I believe there's a special cut-out in the submerged bar for it to be prominently displayed....
That was your favorite until you see their umbrella sleeves....
