Love all the colors!!
Will, I feel ya on the difference in the temps. 81 would feel great if it was 90 degrees outside but over 100 and 81 degree water? That's a big difference. When we were in thr Caribbean 2 months ago, the ocean was in the mid 70s and the temps were 85 and very breezy and it was one of those just hurry up and dunk yourself and don't stand up out of the water until you are ready to grab your towel! Brrrr
I'm glad someone understands, cause when I tell people my pool is 85 degrees and I think it's cold they just give me the stupid look hahahah. But I'm a baby and I don't care what anyone says, I need 90 degree water lol
Will...this turned out awesome! Great job.
Thanks Beach, and thanks for your help along the way
Big Will your pool project came out awesome! What did you do for plants, trees and ground cover? BTW I know where I'm headed next time we are in Vegas
we have family in the Green Valley Ranch area....
Thanks for the compliment, we are very blessed to be able to have a pool just like everyone else here. My house has a open invatation, you just need to bring the food and I'll supply the water to swim in lol.
we haven't decided on plants yet and because it's 110+ everyday we will wait till late September or October to do landscaping so we will take our time and look and do research. I really like tropical look and colors so that will be the direction I'll start. I'm open for ideas for plants that can make it in the desert and won't attract bees
Will,
this is probably a taboo question but if you don't mind, just how much did that transformation cost ya? I'm wondering how many lifetimes I'll need to save my pennies for
Jim, I'm completely ok with you asking cause I had the same question for most people when I went on my journey. My project is 44k so far and that's with everything you see and top of the line equipment, automation, etc. I still have a few things to do like landscaping and my fireplace and outdoor kitchen. I will tell you this; you can easily build one for 30k if you don't want the bells and whistles and go conservative on your decking but when you see how much you save then you start seeing something here and there it adds up to be a extra 10k before you know it lol.
Feel free to ask me any questions you may have, so many others have helped me so I'm happy to help others
Money is not taboo on here. It is a learning place for all things BUT saying that I will tell you that the $$ really depends on the area. What I can get in FL is not even close to the same thing Will can get in TX or someone in CA.
The best thing to do is get quotes from at least 3 (try for 5) people and share them here. We will help you look it over and make sure it has everything you need/want.

Kim is 100% correct, I see prices from other areas and it makes my head hurt. But do get multiple bids as it gives you a great starting ground.
little one........I like your style!
