Looks awesome. If you plan on doing the Italian Cypress in the background of the rendering (which I think look great) make sure you get healthy ones. I put 5 just like the rendering behind my Baja shelf and they were all great for about 2 years. The had a gentle slope in height from the middle being the tallest to shorter towards the outside. Then 2 of them died and I had to replace them with shorter ones - messed up the whole look!

- Start date
This was done few weeks i stopped to do research on companies to finish it off. Possibly restarting next week.
With this huge step done it is time for your set of links. I put them together for new pool owners. It is a lot of info but it will all start to sink in when you start using it:

Pool School - ABCs of Pool Water Chemistry
Make sure to ask any and all questions you might have no matter how small! We have all been where you are at one point.
It is also time for you to start thinking about getting your test kit. Look in my siggy below for the one I think is the best bang for the buck.
I hope you are able to find someone to do the finish work soon!

Sorry for the lack if updates. But it has been a very busy winter with yard work and a baby. I can tell you it has been the most stressful thing i have even done to do my pool and backyard. I ran into great people to work with and ran into people that cost me lot of money in damage and huge amount of stress. It is done now (other than the Pergola sideplates)
My start up person was a straight forward i don’t know what i am doing and i am here to rip you off. I am still left with an intellisense PH monitor and acid dispenser that he had no idea how to install.
If anybody recommends a start up person that knows how to do the intellisense please PM me.

My interior, i am very happy with. Pebble sheen Aqua blue with Shells and glass beads added
The Pergola is Alumawood installed by a local dealer. I do not recommend it, i was having issues with the local dealer and called corporate. I was not able to get help or even a response from them
It is SOOOOOOOOO pretty!!! I am glad you made it to the end! Sounds like it was a very bumpy road to get here but man, oh man the end is AWESOME!

Looks awesome and keeps me motivated that we'll get going soon w/ ours.
Is that turf? Do you mind sharing any info (ex: model/brand) and if you like it? Trying to look around for Turf and there are so many choices.

This is the one i got https://www.purchasegreen.com/shop/artificial-lawn-grass/artificial-lawn-az-platinum-olive.html
So far i love the color, the materials are great too.
Sorry to hear you had such a rough time with it. Doing any project with a baby isn't easy, let alone a pool/yard project with incompetent tradies. The end result is amazing though! I love it all, especially your paving and the pebble colour.

I know and accept the statistics from the realtors, but for the 50% who secretly or openly want a pool, they'd surely pay for that beauty. You've added a lot of value there mate and you get to play in it!!! Well done
