New pool build in CA

[Eyetattoo]

Gotta ton of rain last night and a good amount of mud in the pool. Sent the picture to the PB because I'm not sure that mud getting in where the plumbing comes through the gunite is a good thing. Any thoughts?

Not a real problem. The PB or plaster crews will come in and clean it up before plaster. You will be fine.

Thanks, so once the pebble is in we won't have to worry about it coming in?

That's not a pool - it's a concrete lake! Huuuuge (and nice, too!)

I have a sad for your pool but not the thirsty ground.

It's all good, still a long time before swimming season. I would much rather be delayed for this much needed rain!

Pebble samples are in hand. I think I like the top middle one if I can add blue stones and maybe some glass from the top left one, lol. Thoughts?

WOW on how getting them wet changes the color so much.

Now see if you have a clear tub you can take outside in the sun and see what color of water they make.

Kim

 

[Eyetattoo]

How deep of a tub do you suggest?

 

[kimkats]

Hummmmmmmm laundry basket size? clear or almost clear should work........OR google the colors and link us to the best shots that shows the colors as far as you can tell.

Kim (Lets save the money for something else funner! LOL)

Here is a outside picture. The samples are:
Top row- Indigo Blue, Mediterranean, New Zealand Tropical
Bottom row- New Zealand Blue, Aqua Blue
All from Wet Edge.

How in the world do you pick????? They are all SO pretty in most of the pictures I can find. I have to say I am leaning towards these two-Indigo Blue 7 Mediterranean-both equally.

Lets put up a dart board and see which one wins that way! LOL

I think the bottom two are too light for MY tastes. They are pretty!

Yeah we like the Mediterranean because of the larger pebbles. If we can add the glass beads to the Mediterranean and not break the bank that would be ideal! Time to check the budget, lol!

Progress has resumed! Guys were out yesterday to set the coping stone. They ended up finishing half of the pool coping and grout work along with the majority of the stone around the spa. Today they hope to have it all finished so they can focus on the rock waterfall next week!

On a side note, we are adding glass tile to the steps and spa seat for some more shine.

I think I am finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel, lol!

Ohhhhhhhh I love some BLING! What kind and color will the glass tile be??

Kim

 

[Eyetattoo]

We decided on Bright Cobalt Blue blend from NPT.
