I finally get to post a thread here!! Renovating pool and yard

[clambert1273]

Ok it's done here are some before & afters

Pretty tile! There are a couple of spots along the edges that look like there’s gaps between the tile and what’s underneath. Is that going to be filled in? Concerned about breakage.

 

[clambert1273]

Nope no gaps it is all laying on bed of wet sand & dirt

 

[kimkats]

OH YEAH!!! That looks SO awesome!!!!!

 

[clambert1273]

OH YEAH!!! That looks SO awesome!!!!!

So much better than gravel right lol

 

[clambert1273]

Next up will be shotcrete for the new bench, he is waiting for the shotcrete team to give him a date

 

[kimkats]

your footies would like it better too!

 

[Sollace]

Wonderful upgrade on that decking! No more gravel to step over. . . . !!
I thought it fun how different your yards are there. Less grass, more gravel and cement. It's interesting.

 

[clambert1273]

@Sollace most in AZ don't have grass at all it's dirt, rocks and/or turf lol we actually have a grass area but it won't start really growing until it warms up a little more lol if my shepherds haven't killed it all now lol if it doesn't kick up good by end of april we will seed it with warm weather grass in May

 

[clambert1273]

So my update for today is my guy sent me a message that he found a different tile that he thinks we would like more and ordered it, we agreed new tile pics & they came to mark out the new bench and expect shotcrete for that later this week!

 

[kimkats]

OH that is one of my fav tiles!!! You know the drill..............dig through box.............get out and hid ugly...........get out and mark extra pretty for eye fall areas!

I haven’t been on here for a few weeks. Sorry I couldn’t help with the new tile selection. I’m glad you got it figured out. What color pebble are you getting again? Was it sky blue? What‘s next on the schedule? BTW, the pavers look great! So much useable space now too.

Umm, we have grass. I insist on having grass. My front and back is grass. Yes, we do have rock on the boarder and side yard but we have a real yard, or rather, two yards . Most neighborhoods here have HOAs so you cannot have dirt.

Sorry for my lack of updates recently, we have the new bench, all tile is done & the turtle is in!!!
I love our new tile but anything was better than that horrid green attaching what pics I can & tomorrow (Monday) is new plumbing, light and handrail we had to have the bottom flashed cuz of rebar coming through

The pebble is called sky blue cobalt & we are adding a sapphire bead blend & yes, we can actually sit around the pool now lol

 

[kimkats]
