New Pool Build in Northern California * Completed *

[gregfl2001]

That coping work is gorgeous! If you don’t mind saying, who was the cement company that did that work? (We are building a pool in norcal with cantilever decking/coping in the spring and need a good reference).

Sorry for the delay - I’ll PM you the info!

Further progress! We had the second patio pour completed Wednesday, and final patio and pad pour today. The crew did an amazing job and it looks incredible. The center small circle has the same sponged circular effect as the coping and looks great.

One thing you’ll notice is some wood in the gap where old patio meets new. Our builder is super creative, so he poured a gutter below the concrete and then left a 1/2” gap to serve as the drain. Water rolls back and drops over the rounded edge into the gutter which slopes to a drain. Will try and add a picture later of the side profile, but it’s really cool and doesn’t require a standard linear drain.

Next up: equipment install (should be next week) and Pebble Sheen is scheduled for August 3. I think we are leaning towards Blue Granite with shimmering sea.

So close!

Very impressive design. You have achieved a high end look with subtle changes to brushed colored concrete and high quality workmanship. Awesome work all around on that one..

We’ve got plaster! The crew showed up yesterday early to apply Pebble Sheen Blue Granite. They are back today to acid wash and clean up tile. More pics to come today after acid wash, but here’s a few from yesterday.

OH HAPPY DAY!!!! You are on the way to

Now run out there and put a sock or such on the end of the house to keep the metal off that pretty, new plaster. Make sure the hose is at the lowest part of the pool to it does not flow down and cause the channel.

Once the water start flowing do NOT turn it off!! Let kit keep flowing until it is at the middle of the waterline tile1

Pool fill complete! Took about 19 hours total with two hoses running. Immediate color looks good, curious to see if it changes much over the next few weeks. Meeting with start up guy this week to get some lessons and continue the brushing process a few times a day.

Do you have any pictures with your pool lights on? The great debate of to light the baja shelf or not is ensuing in my house.Your pool has almost the same dimensions as the one we're having built. Appreciate it.

Did you include Shimmering Seas? Do you have an updated pics of your pool now?

Hi - not at the moment, unfortunately. The lighting is definitely sufficient, but if I were to do it again, I’d put a microbrite light on the shelf that could be controlled independently.

Yes, we did and are glad. It looks great and we get a lot of compliments.

Agreed... Anyone considering a poured deck should ask there sub if this is what "My "deck will look like? Perfect example for all those posts that ask "am I being to picky "...
