Another small pool build League City TX

[Jbrillo]

Project is looking good there neighbor! I hope the rain is done for awhile so you can get your pool finished and mine can start! If it stays this hot, you may even get to swim when it’s done! 90-degrees all next week! Now if we could only do something about those darn mosquitoes!

It looks like we may get a break from the rain early next week, hopefully you will get your plaster soon!

PB is always on time so I anticipate it getting done early next week.

Thanks! I hope all goes well with your build. The mosquitos have been nuts around here. I end up having fights with them in my car on my way to work in the mornings.

And we've got plaster! Decided to upgrade to a wet edge satin matrix finish at the last minute. Acid wash and fill tomorrow.

Yay for plaster! Your last minute change looks amazing!

Thanks! I am happy with the decision.

Quick question on these steps. The edge looks a bit wavy on one end. I mentioned it to the PB and he said it is hand troweled and nothing can be done at this point. Also said that once water is in it won't be noticeable. Can they they not add more plaster to even it out some? They are suppose to be coming back tomorrow to acid wash and I want to know if I should stop them from doing anything more.

This is very normal. No one else will even notice it. Adding new plaster to it will do more harm than good as it may not adhere good and may fall off or just not look right over time.

Acid wash earlier and pool is currently being filled. Also got my test kit in the mail earlier. Looking forward to having troublefree water

Now remember to NOT stop the water for any reason! Let it fill to the middle of the waterline tiles.

Know the water might have a slight green tint. This very normal. The color will settle out as the water gets balanced and plaster cures.

Thank for the reminder! With all the rain we are expecting this weekend it would have been nice to get some "free" water but oh well.

 

[tldude876]

Filled. I turned the water off as soon as the water level was above all the plaster since it is raining.

 

[kimkats]

Oh that looks awesome!!! Good job!

Got to give it to the PB, his crews are always on the ball. Here I am thinking to send the PB a message to ask if I need to do anything until Monday when the start up crew shows up and gets everything going.

 

[riley00dog]

It looks fabulous! Congratulations! Your pb is certainly on the ball having a start up crew there immediately.

Now to decide on spray deck color.

 

[kimkats]

WHAT?????? They were there this morning to get everything started?? SWEET!

Looking at the bottom pic................1st pick i sthe darker brown (second from right), 2nd pick I guess the last one on the left but really am liking the darker one. The reason is it is a good contrast from your coping AND it looks like it would match a couple of the bricks in your house. It looks rich to me.

Haha I was just thinking you could have filled it today with all this water!
