New Oasis on Long Island

looks really nice! i like they used 3 inch limestone it looks like for the steps. it's very hard to find 3 inch around me. everyone uses 2 inch cause it's so cheap. the only guy in my area who cuts 3 inch is like 100 years old now and once he is gone i don't know. 3 inch looks so nice.

They are techo bloc pavers. Raffinato caps 3.5 inch. They are huge!

Looking fantastic! Like the others the decking is my favorite. Really like the water bowls too - you have me considering to add them in to our build.

Good morning TFPers.

So it seems the closer we get to the end, the finish line gets pushed back [emoji35]

The Pentair magic bowls have black marks on them. We are not sure how, maybe from the packing material. We are waiting on pentair to get some help or change them.

 

[jza1736]

The bowls are leaking. I don't think it's the bowl, but the plumbing as the water is far into the pipe.

Waiting on the pool company to figure that out

 

[jza1736]

The sheer does not look right. There's a bright spot and certain colors are brighter on certain sides.

Waiting on the Savi rep for their solution

 

[jza1736]

The spa is to close to the steps to get the cover on and the main board is no good.

Waiting on pool company to come move it a 1/2"

Waiting on the new board from the manufacture

Last, but not least, something I did ?

I sealed the marble pavers with dry treat stain proof. The website makes it seem very ez. I followed their videos and did what they said to do. Now the patio has steaks in bright sun. I haven't had the time to try and repair it yet. Hopefully this weekend I can get to it.

That all sure adds up to make a big sad for you. At least it is all still under warranty but man that is not fair!!!

 

[jza1736]

Slow and steady Kim.

Great attitude as there is a fix for everything!

Thanks cliff

I'm in construction, so I know things can not work out as planned. Just have to roll with the punches.

Wish my wife could see it that way. She's a worrier [emoji32]

 

[kimkats]

Send her my way...........I will pat her on the back as I hand her a BIG bowl of ice cream and tell her it will all work out in the end!

Here's some updated progress pics. We are so close to the finish line! ?*???*??

WOWZER! That is all SO pretty!! Are those rope lights on/in the the railing??

Your decking is STILL my all time fav of any I have seen so far............and I have seen a LOT!!!

Looking sooooo good! Great color choices as the stone makes the water pop. Will you continue the panels along the back to separate the pool equipment? Are you putting in sod or other ground cover?

That's not finished kim. The panels with the Boulder pattern have to still go the rest of the way to the wall. They will light up the fence, just slightly. You will not see the rope light

Thank you.

Yes the panels go to the wall and we are adding grey stones in that area. So no lawn mowers need to go back there. The stones under the grill are also getting changed to the grey color

That will be very nice and maintenance free for the most part. The issue I have in my rock areas is that the grass/weeds still grows thru and if you don't stay on top of it...what a pain!
