Rob and Cate's new mess...

[reef n ale]

Thanks smuggs! I'm new to the forum so I don't know the rules. If I get the ok from the mods I'll post who my builder is.

And the Chadds Ford Winery is about 5 minutes from my house! Definitely go if you get the chance. At the end of the winery tour, you can purchase from the retail shop, bring your tasty new wines outside and enjoy food and music. It's pretty fun! We go a few times a year...

Yes, you can name your builder if you want to.

Thanks Jason!

I'm using Ted's Custom Pools in Newtown Square, Pa.

They have been wonderful so far. Very professional and easy to work with.

What great progress! Thanks for keeping us posted. We do love pix!

So, are you planning the pool-opening party yet?

 

[SeanB]

Hey, that hole in your backyard is starting to look like a pool. :lol:

 

[reef n ale]

Thanks, everyone, for the very nice comments!! I'll keep the pics coming as things change...

And yes, Joyce, pool-opening party for sure!!!

Wow Looks nice! I'd also like to know who your using as it looks similar to my pool. I'm just across the river in Burlington county! good luck!

Thanks drifter!

That would be Ted's Custom Pools in Newtown Square, Pa.

Very nice looking pool Rob. I love shape and use of shelves! My original designed had a simular free-form shape, but some set-back regulations made me adapt to more of a kidney shape.

It looks like we're on the same time-line. You're also pretty close (I'm in Central Bucks). When is that pool party again?

Kenneth Square...Love Longwood Gardens!

Just wondering if you and Cate will be having mushroom kabobs at the pool party

 

[reef n ale]

Mushroom man says "Thumbs up" on the kabobs, Joyce!!! hehe...

Thanks John! I think you're just a little bit ahead of us...we just got the equipment delivery. So, we're waiting to set that and schedule the plumbers, electricians, and propane guys.

We're also just picking out the tile and Pebble Tec color. We're thinking Tropical Breeze if anyone cares to comment on that!

It looks like you're about 2 weeks behind us. After the digging an gunite, everything seemed to slow down. It's getting there though. We'll both be swimming in May...Hopefully...

Close to 80 degrees today. Ugh. Must...Resist..Filling...Pool

John

 

[reef n ale]

Yeah, John, things are in the slow stage for us.

We now have the equipment set and tiles ordered.

I really need some help with this one...

I've searched and searched looking for info on the waterfall building process. I can't find much and I'm assuming there are quite a few methods around. My PB is using a shelf, but as time goes on and I learn more, I really can't figure out how this is going to go.

I came home yesterday to find something that *appears* to be a tar coating on the shelf(see above pics for shelf). I'm not 100% sure that's what it is...

Does this sound right and could someone fill me in on how this part of the build should go???

Rob

 

[j4ydubs]

Any updates? Did the PB explain the tar?

John

 

[reef n ale]

Here's a few new pics!!!

I'm told by the PB that it's "epoxy paint". It's what they do I guess... I can't argue it because I'm clueless on that one.

Well, we have tile(Master Tile Stardust Series)and equipment set...

Rob

 

[j4ydubs]

That looks great Rob! That tile color is very close to the color I picked, and got over ruled on.
