New in-ground pool - Boston, MA. Lots of pics

Take a good look at it when it's done. I wish I had made more of a fuss about it at the time they were doing it, but I have some areas where they didn't do a very good job of revealing the aggregate. They should have washed off more of the plaster in those areas. I've now got that as a "clean up" item on my punch list with the PB. I know it's a hand applied product and I'm certainly tolerant of some variation, but these few areas were a little more than I was willing to accept.
 
Headed home from business travel. My wife has been kind enough to share a few pictures of what she says is the most beautiful pool water she has ever seen.

They were out early to acid wash. Started filling pool around noon time. Brought in (4) 9000 gallon water trucks.

Posting a few pics now and will upload more later tonight.

Plaster is WetEdge Prism Matrix Deep Sea Blue. Our pool/yard is in full sunlight pretty much the entire day! I have not seen it in person yet but the pictures are astounding. Imagine it's only going to get better as the water gets balanced.

Our PB ok'd getting in pool while filling. My son has been in the entire time.

Nice to see such a nice rectangular pool! It looks really nice - love the color and how the tile matches the Wet Edge colors. From a distance it looks turquoise, but up close it looks more blue than green. I bet that will change some when everything is treated and the chemicals are all finished.
 
I agree with you - that water is astounding!!! You have my new favorite pool finish for water color! I love my pool, but my finish/water does not compare to this. I can't stop looking at it!!

And with the Steel Blue tile.... Most gorgeous ever!! They pull out and intensify the colors from each other - water and tile.

You HAVE to frame the one with your son! It belongs in a magazine!

Congratulations! I can't wait to hear what you think seeing it in person! I hope you can stand it!!!

Unfortunately I got home a litte later than I wanted. It was getting dark out so I'll have to wait for tomorrow to see the pools true beauty.

Thank you for the pool compliments. I agree, the plaster and glass tile complement each other very nicely. The colors are so dynamic and change so much depending on lighting conditions. Here's our 2 boys diving for treasures (loose glass beads) in the spa. Taken as the sun was beginning to set behind trees off in the distance.

The sparkle in this Prism Matrix Deep Sea Blue pebble plaster is incredible. I'm finding it impossible to capture its true beauty on my phone camera. Might need a professional here.

Here are some photos taken this morning.

First, our Chinese Crested checking things out for the first time. She is loving the fenced in yard. She usually just stays in the house except for walks.

Here's one of the plaster taken from the edge of the sun shelf. Gives you an idea of the color at different depths.

This is the most beautiful finish I have ever seen. And as you said, I really haven't seen it. (not in person)

Can I have a do-over??

Never mind, I would never do anything else except stare at it all day and night.
Suz.
