Love it all BUT with it all together???? WOWER!

I wonder how much the black background influences the white glitter tiles? Think about that when picking the mortar under it. Now if it is not see through at all it will not matter.

Do you think the smooth will be a problem being slippery?

[emoji5][emoji5][emoji5] I'm just loving it.

The white tile appears frosted but it's glued to the black background with hot glue (slightly opaque). The real tile should arrive by Thursday - I'll know then how see through it is.

Mike mentioned the slipperiness too but it's no where near as bad a travertine and has a little traction. It won't feel as rough as the sand finish on little bellies either. I would say that is the only con so far to me

I also like how the gray looks behind the tile-really opened a can of worms as to what color thinset to choose. Mike wants white...

We just picked up all of our equipment and have been waiting for our coping to come in. We cleaned up all of the gunite mess from around the pool and started filling in our trenches. It's slowed down a little since we are waiting for the coping to get here to start going again. :)

Here's a pic from today with all of our equipment loaded up. We bought it from poolsupplyunlimited.com they gave us a great deal - even better than their online prices.

Coping is supposed to get delivered any minute. This past week, Mike and I dug the trenches for gas and electrical and waterproofed the retaining wall. We still need to waterproof the bond beam and put the first coat of thinset before the mortar bed and coping can go on

I took a lot of breaks and I wore gloves so just my shoulders are a little sore. Mike is probably worse than me since he told me he was too manly for gloves.

She is a monkey! She has no fear. Before the pool is done we are getting her and her twin brother into swimming lessons. We will also have a fence and possibly a net but I wouldn't trust her with a bowl of water

Your nearing the finish line and I'm so excited for you. I do have a question and it may seem dumb but I'm a rookie so go easy on me . Why do you waterproof the wall in the back if the pool doesn't go up to it?
the reason this caught my attention is because my neighbor has a pool and when he waters his plants the water comes right through to my side. Should I ask him to waterproof his wall and will that water that comes through effect my decking in the future
hope this makes sense
