I'm a little late to the party but I'm sticking around to the end! It's gorgeous so far! Love the waterfalls and your sunken kitchen with bar stools is something I always wanted! Alas, I neither have the yard or the budget for it. Love love love the tile you were holding and much prefer the white/silver granite to the red! I can't wait to see the finished project!
New AZ owner build! :)

I'm now following too, and learning. I really like what you got going on here. I hope to begin digging my owner build soon. Good job.

Thanks. Will be updating soon. It should start going faster now that my retaining wall footings have passed inspection. Here are som new pics. Silver travertine is here for my patios, deck, and coping. Also, have decided to integrate glowing dark tiles to my build. 
Stone as far as the eye can see!
Do you are doing the dark tile huh? They will be fun to see at night!

Coping has started. For those of you that want to know the color. It is antico silver travertine. Not easy to find, bit looks gorgeous.

Finally some more progress. Coping is done and pavers have started. Sunken Bar is almost ready for roof. Tile will begin this week.
Who did you use to design your plans and engineering drawings? I am looking to do a pool in Arizona, but finding someone reliable to get that done has been hard.
Travertine pavers look great!! Do you know what kind of base do they use to set the pavers? Was it 4" pavers base 1" sand? Did they mix any thing with the sand?
No. They were your standard 1.25 travertine pavers. And they use some good layers of AB and gravel. I think i purchased 20 tons of each for this project. And polymeric sand is what is used for grout lines.
Wow azwaldo your pool is amazing so far. I am also in AZ going the owner/builder route. Do you have any subs you would recommend? We have bids trickling in, but many of the subs aren't responding. Any recommendations would be much appreciated
Sorry for late reply. Have been busy. will update with pics soon. Shoot me a private message
