I have rebar! We're hoping to have gunite Thursday.

My loungers came and they fit on the ledge....although I do wish I made the ledge bigger since there will also be bubblers.

My son and dog are very much enjoying the hills of dirt!!! It will be a happy day for me and a sad day for them when it's taken away.


I found the PERFECT jump rock yesterday....it looks just like a diving board.

LOVE it! That is MADE to be a jump rock! NICE!

You know you can make the ledge bigger NOW if your want!!!! They can add more steel and fill it up with gunite............Just saying!

Sheree, will you PM me the name of your pool builder? I'm in GA too, just gathering quotes.

Up with the sun to water the shotcrete for the first time this morning!! Any opinions on how long to cure before tile? I'm curious because my builder said a few days is sufficient. The shotcrete guy said at least a couple of weeks.



Still not thrilled with the stair location since I didn't want to build them into the tanning ledge. I'm sure once we're use to them there it won't be a problem though... and it'll allow easy access to the slide.

Re: Georgia Pool Build.... No Longer O/B

Stairs attract people. It will cause people to migrate over that way which will subsequently leave the area closer to the house somewhat less crowded during gatherings and "use" your whole deck more fully. That's my positive spin.

Re: Georgia Pool Build.... No Longer O/B

Our stairs are never used so having yours near the slide is a good move, since they will get used.

Really!? The oldsters just jump in? [emoji3]

I think the stairs by the slide is a GOOD thing! It will mean you do not have to worry about people running up the ledge to go back down the slide! It will be easy enough for them to swim up to the bench and from there to the ledge! :sun:

Thanks for the reassurance, everyone!!

The kids in the neighborhood already come over OFTEN to play. I imagine with the pool that will only increase. So, that was our thought process with moving the stairs away from the ledge. I've picked up way too many call shifts to afford this pool to not have my own happy place on the tanning ledge haha.

You and me both, sister!!!

It looks great, Sheree!! I think you made the right call on the stairs, also.

I'm thinking about matching my coping to my pavers...any opinions? The image below shows the exact pavers that we'll be using. I'm not good at these decisions!!!! I change my mind regarding waterline tile everyday.

WOW! That looks REALLY nice!!! You lose the effect of having a different coping material "offset" the pool edge BUT i have to say I really like that look as well. I like it, it's got my vote!

 

[Nursenini]

Re: Georgia Pool Build.... No Longer O/B

I love the look, Sheree!! +1 on my vote!

 

[kimkats]

Re: Georgia Pool Build.... No Longer O/B

THAT is IT! YES! Do I need to "lock" you in?? I want to as I LOVE this look!

Re: Georgia Pool Build.... No Longer O/B

I ran to NPT during my lunch break and saw this tile. Inside the showroom I didn't love it....



but, the salesman took it outside for me to see it in the sunshine and it was such a difference! I'm waiting to find out the upgrade price from my builder.
