So, I finally was able to fullfill my dream of creating phase 2 of my backyard oasis. My pool is a 24' Round Radiant Pool buried 2.5' which I put in myself 2 years ago. It was simply the best decision I made so far with my house renovations. I knew I always wanted to have the look of a pool surrounded by a stone wall. Below is the progression:
Before:


Construction:





Construction Finished (Still have to complete basement entrance and cultured stone foundation)





Furnished:




Relaxation:

Next on the agenda, Landscaping and low voltage lighting.
Phase 3 = Detached garage with pool changing room and outdoor bar
(I have alot of saving to do...)
