Under construction in texas - water in it finally!

Re: Under construction in texas

Tree-wise, I guess we're outside city limits - though the homeowners association "architectural committee", chaired by the neighbor directly behind us, has asked us to plant 2-3 big trees.

If that's a problem, you can make them show you where in the bylaws it specifically states "how many" and "what size" trees must be planted. If it's not in the bylaws then you can simply ignore this request.

shakenbake - any updates?

Not much has happened since I post the pics - were a struggling with rock/stone right now. We're getting close to the final colors and style, so there should be a lot to show in a week or so.

Interestingly, we had a massive rain here in austin for a few hours and it nearly filled up the shell - I think about 10K gallons...crazy!

Looking forward to more pics.

We'll be starting our new pool build next month. Have already taken care of major tree removal last week using a professional service, have a few smaller ones to take care of myself.

Yes, that was from one night of rain a few weeks ago. Massive (relative) floods here. About 20-30inches of rain in 6 hours.

(That's a 715ft^3 pool, 3.5ft to 9ft deep, ~36,000gal pool, and it was filled up to the 3.5 foot level. Crazy)

Re: Under construction in texas

What kind of material is the "raised decking? Is it wood or one of the synthetic products?
