New Build In Simi Valley

[Bing125]

I have the Taylor 2006. We are going to my parents this weekend to "hangout" but I am really going to test their water.

I have done some reading but have lots more to do. Gotta get into the Chemistry 201 section.

Have you tested your house water yet? That is a good base line to start with. Don't bother doing the CYA as it has to be added.

What are the dimensions of your pool? It just looks like it would be a lot more than 21,500 gallons. Absolutely amazing - truly does look like a 5 star resort!

I've been watching your build from the start, and am still blown away every time at how well it is being incorporated into that hillside. Absolutely Stunning!!!

The length is 36 and the width at the widest is 14. It runs from 3.5 to 8 feet deep. I did not take the spa into account for my calculations. I am thinking about a meter when we fill it.

Yeah I figured it was about the size of my pool (I don't have a spa). I think what is deceiving is the hill and all the rock work. It makes your pool seem ginormous but the water area is your average size pool.

They spent all day putting in the tile. The only problem is that they put in the wrong tile! Now they are pulling it out. The tile guys looked so defeated when I told them.

OH NO! So sad!

Was it even close??? Poor guys BUT they should always double check stuff like that.

Oh No, I hate to hear the wrong tile got put in. Hopefully, they'll get it right the next go around.

I LOVE how they built the patio by the hot tub even all the way across.

My biggest issue, before my injury, if that was in my yard, (and might I say, Oh lol how I wish that was in my yard ), would have been wanting to dive off the spa wall into the pool. I use to do a lot of cliff diving in my younger days, and I can see temptation written all over that for me. LOL that might explain why I'm in constant pain, and barely able to walk most days now, but lol it was sure fun at the time.

I had the same thought! This last picture made me want to jump off the spa into the pool over and over like if I was 12 years old again! How deep is the pool underneath the spa? And what's your address? (Kidding.)

What is that squared hole close to the house with coping around it? Is it for a special kind of skimmer?

You better hush or we will NEVER get an invite to swim at his house! LOL

Julie the area under the spa has a bench and is only 3.5 to 4.5 deep. The kids will not be allowed to jump off it but they will be able to jump off the grotto. The square hole is for a drop in cooler. [emoji6]

Built in cooler?? Now you're talkin'!!! Don't want to have to stretch too far to get a beverage!

 

[Marlahoutex]

Are you putting handrails on the steps? I guess I'm just seeing lots of spots where kids or adults acting like kids or adults with too many beverages might jump off into the pool with not so good results.

But, on the other hand, it's a fabulous pool and I can't wait to see it all plastered and tiled up! Maybe grease that slide a bit...

Yes there will be a railing on the steps up to the slide. The PB was worried about over sealing the slide because it might get too fast. [emoji2]
