Stone work is about 95% done! Waiting for a date for them to start the decking.
Nice tile. I’m biased because I too have the Nanz line just in the darker I think. It was an expensive upgrade for us but it turned out great.
So today they added the coping to the side and back of the pool, not a fan of how it goes from a rectangle to the deeper square-ish size on the side and back. Once grouted will it be noticeable?
PB said they could do two rectangle ones but then would have double the joints. Not sure which route to go….

I agree with you, that is not a good look and grouting it will not help. I would have assumed a diagonal coping cut, since you are working with straight edges. Something like this;

So you don’t need an expansion joint when doing pavers?

Decking is pretty much done. Waiting for a few pieces to come back from getting the drainage slits hydrojetted in. Things are coming along and getting easier to see the finish line!
Tongue and groove ceiling and wall are about done. Thinking beams and back wall stained to match the house posts but keep tongue and groove ceiling a more natural looking with a clear stain? Still not sure…
Been a long month or so with not a lot getting done due to the water features being on back order. They finally came in so they were able to finish the back wall. We still have some temp pavers in as we are waiting on the perm ones to come back from hydro jetting the drainage slits. But other than that and some cleanup plaster is around the corner!

bankOman, Your pool is gorgeous! Could you please share your pool builder and whether you are happy with them? I'm nearby in Grapevine and I want to build a pool. Please message me if you don't feel comfortable discussing publicly.
Wow. I really like the vertical placement of your pavers to your pool. At first I thought they were equal sizing but I can see they are different. Can I ask what they are?
Thanks! We went w/ Watercrest pools in NRH. Sam & Brian have been great to work w/. Great communication throughout the process so far.
They're the Melville Leuders Gray Plank pavers. Was really looking for something other than travertine and liked the idea of less maintenance w/ a concrete paver so we went w/ these and think they came out pretty good for a little more modernish look.
Who did you go with? We are near you and starting to get bids. We want similar minus the spa and water feature. Mind giving me the range cost?
We went w/ Watercrest Pools in North Richland Hills. The spa and water features drive up the price quite a bit so I would just give them a ring to get a free bid. Depending on materials you choose for your build I would guess without the spa and water features you'd be looking around the 100k range.
Finally got plaster! Waiting on the PB to tell me when we can start filling….been a long delayed process with weather and temps.
