[Backyard_Lap_Pool]

Did you PB even blink when you told him what you wanted size wise?

I LOVE your finishes! BLING to the MAX!

Kim

Hahaha! Yeah - this is some new territory for him. He and his superintendent are pretty stoked to tackle this project.

Here is the ending shot for day 1 of dig.

BYLP,

You are going to have the same problem that I had... When it was just a back yard my fence looked fine.

Once the pool became the focus of the back yard, I had no option be to upgrade the fence. $$$

It never ends you know...

Yup - I was thinking the same thing. That is in my landscape budget for this Fall. (Probably when it gets a little cooler)

You might be the first person ever to say, "I wish I had a smaller pool"! Congratulations, that thing is going to be beautiful when completed.

I hope you never have to sell your house. Not sure many buyers would want such a large pool (I may have been interested when my kids were younger as I once had five of them swimming competitively).

 

[Flippy]

Howdy Neighbor! That is gonna be an awesome pool.

 

[Nursenini]

Just catching up!! I LOVE YOUR POOL!!! Just SO MUCH AWESOMENESS going on here! The finishes you chose are beautiful! What kind of deck/coping are you going with?
Can you explain your spa area? It looks like it is sunken in with a walk out from the deck. Is it an infinity edge on 3 sides?
Is your pavilion a sunken area that you will have bar stools in front of?

I'm in on this build for sure!! My kids swam competitively and I have several their nieces and nephews who are now competitive, so I appreciate the size!

For brushing that bad boy, you REALLY REALLY need a Wall Whale brush!!

 

[IMAZ1218]

Holy POOP! That is a great pool. I officially have pool envy. Not that I'm a competitive swimmer but compete in triathlons and that would be awesome for training. Good luck on the build.

 

[Backyard_Lap_Pool]

Hi Nursenini - good questions!

Deck is tentatively Rubber crumb. Coping is Light Travertine.
Spa has a bridge to it with ~ 3' water moat around it.
Raised 3" above pool water level with negative edge.
No bar stools around sunken pavilion - just a walk way to get from sun shelf down to spa area.
Planning on getting a whale brush!

Thanks
BYLP
