Thanks Kim!

Here's the finished product. My dad may say otherwise but I think it looks pretty good considering I'm not a pro. It took me three days to do all the walls in the sunken bar. My right shoulder and arm were dead by the end. I don't think I'm cut out for plastering on the daily.

These were taken with my phone. I want to take some with my camera on the tripod so I can get the lights properly exposed without them looking like blobs.
That's a neat look that the bubblers uplight the umbrellas...planned or lucky break

Lol it was inevitable but not thought out because I didn't think I'd keep the umbrellas up at night
I love it...

I definitely learned a lot about pool design from this pool...although who knows if I'll ever get to design another [emoji23]

I'll send the super picky clients your way. You can have all the fun going back and forth 30 times just to have them settle on a rectangle

He was talking to the older girls they were sitting at the bar on their iPads. Eventually there will be a tv for him to watch from there though!
Joanie, that Santa Barbara finish, is that hard troweled or do you mist it and rub it with a float?
Your pool is gorgeous. You two are a talented and ambitious couple for sure!!

I used a magnesium trowel to finish it. Thanks! I'm glad you like it!!

Brian I am so glad to see that you are plumbing for a pool overflow. You would not want your sunken kitchen to flood in heavy rains. Hind sight wish we had an overflow as we have had enormous amts of rain lately. [emoji2]

Ive tried skimming through all 54 pages but came up empty... How deep is your water on the shelf, and how much higher will the LED bubblers go if you turned the pump up a bit or opened the valves? My wife an I want our bubblers to be that same height. What brand are the LED bubblers and did you have any installation problems with them?
Depth: 12"
They are on a water feature pump so that's as big as they'll get.
They are Hayward and no problems whatsoever installing. Each one is plumbed independently to the valve so that they can be fine tuned
