Yes they do! Well, most of the time anyway! As my DH likes to say, Now we only have to give them money when we want to!
BUT Marla the Grand is close to being here and it will not be that long before she is in your pool!

Kim, you are right about the baby. She'll be in the pool as soon as she can. I even bought her a swimsuit!
And no, I don't have a g-ma name yet.

Okay. Just heard from the PM and the paver guys will be back tomorrow, 7:30 am, to work. The new ones were delivered around 11 am today. As soon as we pick a scupper, then the tile guys will come and install the travertine on the back wall.
Do the new ones match better?????
You already bought her a swim suit-----I bet it is cute!

Yes, the pavers match. Well they match as well as can be expected since the originals are weathered.
After holding up both scuppers to the back wall, hubby decided he like the Sonrisa (aka urinal-ly) the best. He thought the Polynesia was too small. So Sonrisa it is!

Well I already have a plan to help keep it clean just in case he picked that one. You will just have to run it every day and if/when it will be sitting for any time without movement you can just add and thimble full of bleach to the water in it.

Sonrisa is pretty! I think it will have a really nice water flow to it too!

Thanks Kim! I knew it would take a little bit of extra care for the bowl. I could have gone either way on them, but since he liked those best, I'm fine with that.
Hi Marla! Catching up-
Good catch and a real stand up PB on the paver mixup! I'm so glad that all worked out. I do love your pavers. I have always loved that kind of look.
THE BRASS!! Oh my! It is gorgeous! I must admit, the hot metal concerns me a little- I'm a barefoot person, too. But maybe if your PB does them "standard", maybe it's not an issue.
The scuppers- I like both, but my vote is for the sonrisa. What size are they? How many are you doing? I'm eager to see how your finished wall looks with them since they are similar to what I am looking at. Do you mind telling me the dimensions of your wall. It will give me an idea of the scale for mine - if you don't mind and have time...

Denise, thanks for catching up! We will have 3 scuppers. The Sonrisa is 14.5" in length and depth is 7.25". There wasn't any height posted. i will need to go look at the plans to for the back wall dimension. I know it's 18" above the ground and the pillars are 21".
Okay, went and checked. It's about 9.5' long between the pillars and about 3.5" high from the bench. The end columns are 22" square. Hope this helps you!

Perfect!! Your wall is about the same size as mine will be. The pedestals are 24x24x24 on either end and the lower wall in between is 9' long x 18" high.
Thanks, Marla!
Thanks, Marla!
Just went and picked up 2 dozen breakfast tacos for the paver guys. They seemed very happy!
That's going to look great!! Love to see them all working hard!

And they are done. The older pavers haven't been power washed yet. Keep in mind these are about 10 yrs old so they are faded, too.
That looks so good!! So much character and culture. Congratulations Marla!
