Yes, that was the first thing we bought after reading 'Pool School'.


What a great place this is.

Thank you so much. We love our place but it really needed a pool to make it complete.
 
Should get our colored concrete coping this Friday and then pavers next week.


The landscape company who is doing our pavers wanted to know if we wanted an outside kitchen/bar under tha 20x20 pavilion we're building. Said they would do it at building cost so they get the experience and can advertise it. I couldn't say, "I'm your guinea pig", fast enough.
 
Not happy.


Our pool almost filled up over night and when we went out to look at it this morning we noticed it was almost 2" out of level at 2 different spots. Sent an email to the builder this morning but have no idea how they can fix it as the walls are cemented into the ground.

Any ideas of how we should handle this or what we should ask them to do?

Going so slow but we're making progress. Pavers going down and pavilion being wired.

Wish we would have had more done for our family's 4th of July picnic but we don't want to push and have mistakes made.

You were completely right. Everyone had a great time on the 4th and the following few days. In fact, it was hard getting people to leave. *grin*

Pavers are all in but still needs the sand. They are letting them settle for a few days.


Only thing left to do is bring in a little more topsoil for around the pool, do the outdoor kitchen in the pavilion and stone the pavilion posts. I can't wait to be done!

Looks great, and I would be that no one other than you will ever see it. In 8-10 years or whenever you replace liner, if you go with a full-floor (no border) and pick a pattern that is random (think small pebble look and not mosaic), then there will be no geometric line in the liner to stand out. The guy that ordered my liner told me he had to order a liner for a pool that was truly out of level by 2" and he went with full-floor, random pattern and said you could not see it.
