Yes you are!! Our plaster had been delayed by over a week already, or I would've asked them to wait.
Does anyone know what the Texas state law is regarding the pool company tying the fill line into the sprinkler system? The sales guy we dealt with at the pool company said instead of tying into our closest hose bib, they would tie into our sprinkler system. (we have a patio under the hose bib) The project manager now says there is a state law that prohibits them from doing that, but we can do whatever we want after they are done with the pool. Huh?!!
One builder that we met with alluded to there being a City of Allen ordinance against doing it. They did not mention that it was a state law.
Okay, thanks for the reply. I need to check with some irrigation companies to see what they say. Hopefully, it is just a city thing. We live in an unincorporated area, so the ordinance shouldn't apply to us.bhargraves said:

Hi. How do you like your tanning shelf with the flagstone? Is it slippery? Does it get hot? Thanks.
Hi there. We haven't had the pool very long, so we haven't actually been in it. I don't think it will be slippery tho, the flagstone is rugged & I think it will have good traction. I'm not exactly sure about this, but I feel like the stone will be close to whatever temp the water is. In our last pool the flagstone capping would get hot, but splashing pool water on it always cooled it off for a bit.mcarrizal said:

your pool looks great. I bet you are looking forward to actually being able to jump in 
Thank you! Yes, it will be nice to actually get in. We finally used our hot tub on the 31st. Felt amazing & while we were soaking, we got a fireworks show from our neighbors, pretty cool!mcanchola2 said:your pool looks great. I bet you are looking forward to actually being able to jump in

I'am researching pools and trying to get a feel for different sizes. What size pool/spa including tanning shelf did you have built? Thanks

The tanning shelf is 7'5" deep & approx 10' wide. The spa is 7.5' X 6' round 3.5' deep. Perimeter of pool is 99' & Area = 576 sq ft, 33.8' X 18.5. It holds just under 17K gallons is what I was told. Personally, I was wanting a bigger pool, closer to 18-20K, but my husband & the pool salesman insisted this was big enough. If we had about 2-4 more feet in the length, it'd be perfect, in my opinion.

Thanks for the info. I'm hearing the same from others about pool size. "If you have the yard...."

Exactly! If you've got the space go for it, & you're already into 40-50 thousand if you're putting in a spa, what's a little bit more?
