What I love about the pool: Baja step, 2 benches in deep end, water feature for kids to jump off, deep end, travertine decking, 2 multi-color pool lights.
Regrets: 1) Would like darker travertine. We chose travertine from pool company. Should have gone to a tile store, with more selection, brought travertine pieces home, and placed in backyard to see what looks best. (Also, this light travertine color is bright in the sunlight.) Choosing our own travertine contractor, instead of paying pool builder, would probably have been less expensive. 2) Should be a larger shallow end, including a long bench, connected to Baja step.
I realize I can’t dwell on this. What's done is done. Kids will enjoy pool, and likely nobody else will notice my complaints.
Something to think about: we have the in-floor cleaning system...so there are holes all over the bottom of pool, and steps. Pool company is coming this week to place grey caps on the holes...it might be an eyesore for some of you out there. I'm still not sure about it. Pool builder didn't mention that when we signed up for it...
It's been stressful, wish I would've known about this site prior to dig, but we're excited to spend the hot summer months in the water.
