Pool Photos

18 years ago

We are still not finished (will we ever be?!) but here are some photos of our new pool. We have had water in it now for a week. I REALLY appreciate all the answers you guys gave me, especially helping with "plain white plaster" question. I went with StoneScapes Tahoe Blue and I LOVE it. The photos look more green than the water actually looks.

The wood pile is from the six trees we had to cut down :(

Susan- How peaceful and relaxing it all looks! At least the pups seem to be... :) Mine won't go near the water.

Congratulations on your build, how long did it take dig to fill?

Beautiful pool Susan! Turned out great. I love your choice of tile and coping, it all blends so well....very natural looking. What are the dimensions of your pool? Is your coping Oklahoma wister light? Oh, and the water color is awesome. Bet you are loving it!!!

Thank you everyone!
Mom of 3 - I'm so sorry your build has been such a nightmare. Mine was nothing compared to yours, but not without plenty of tears, sleepless nights and even threats of legal action. It's a bit like childbirth - you forget about the pain once it's over!
Susannap2 - We signed the contract on May 12, 2008 and we have had water in it for about a week. Excavation was mid-June.
LaLa - The pool is about 18 feet wide at the widest point and 32 long. The coping is Oklahoma, but there are some pure white stones mixed in, which were a bit unexpected!

Very pretty! Never heard of a lab that didn't swim except for mine.

Susan, really nice! Great water color and I LOVE your tile! I have a simialr feel to my pool, but in a slightly different color palette (we have Majestic Plum PebbleTec which gives us a stonewashed blue tone to the water) and used a deep taupe/grey tile...I REALLY like a natural, non-blue tile for a pool like yours. It looks so good, and I like how your tile color doesn't compete with your water color. Not to offend anyone who has blue tiles,I've seen pools with blue tile that look great, I just prefer a rustic look.

Anyway, love your tile and your water. And were you the person who posted a few weeks ago, asking if you were going to regret "Plain white plaster"? THAT was a pretty active thread!

Hi Gina - Thanks for the nice comments! The "plain white plaster" was me, and I was also one of the people nagging you to post your pictures as I was up against a deadline to pick a color! I LOVE the color of your pool, but you posted your pictures (literally) a day too late for me! I really can't complain though - my pool is so much more beautiful than I imagined it would be. I know how you felt when you posted that you couldn't believe you owned something so beautiful!
