It is coming along. Great pics. The plan looks great, will be excited to follow your progress. Nice to know I am in company with several others putting in a pool this time of year. What state are you in?

I definitely had some reservations about building a pool in our economic climate. We live in Flower Mound, Texas which is north of Dallas.

Wow!. I don't have my equipment yet. I started Oct 20 too.

Yours is a nice project! Love the kid seat in the spa! Yeah the economic situation is getting worse. I'm feeling a little foolish for starting now. But whan summer comes, despite hard times, the cool water will be so refreshing.

I know what both of you are saying. The bottom really fell out right about a month after we signed the papers. But, this is something we have talked about doing over the last few years, and we had the wherewithall.....so, we committed to it.
My guys will be here tomorrow since they missed yesterday and today because of rain/wet conditions. They called to see if I "minded" them working on Saturday... I can't imagine not wanting them to work!

Looks great! Congratulations. I can't wait to see it finished. We are still uncommitted (have full plans and 3 good quotes) but the economy has us a little scared.

I am hoping things will be better in the next month and we can sign. I'd like to have the pool start in December and be ready by May-ish.

Please keep the pix coming. It is so inspiring to see a project through from beginning to end!

Day 7 and gunite has started. Pics are below.

Coming along.....how exciting!

Wow. it really looks good! How exciting!

What a nice design! You will enjoy it and there is an end in sight after all the mess.

More pics of progress. Decking should start tomorrow.

The rock wall is amazing! The flagstone looks nice too. It's coming along so nicely and so quickly compared to mine.

You don't even have any water in the bottom. Our rainy days have pretty much added a 3 foot tub of water in the deep end.

I agree, the rock wall is great. The flagstone is beautiful. I love flagstone beach entries.

Looks great! I really like your perimeter tile. I don't know if I missed it, but what type of interior finish are you using?

We will be using Tahoe Blue Pebble Tec for the interior.

A month today from the first day of contruction and we now some have water! Pics below.

Congratulations! Very nice how you pool fits around the house and patio area. I love the color combinations of your stone patio, the coping, and the Pebble Tec. The long bench seat is a really nice feature too. Enjoy.

I am so excited for you! You will be very happy to have that water in the pool! Can we see more pictures of the filled pool when you get a chance? Your kids will love this pool and the spa will be terrific for everyone all year. We are still using our new pool and spa. Actually, I just got out of the spa a few minutes ago. Congratulations!

We're filling on the same day ... awesome feeling isn't it.

Great looking pool. Love your slate patio too!

Nice material selection! The blue tile makes the colors in your slate patio pop and also complements the red brick on your house. Can you tell me the mfr and color of the tile, please?

Also, is that a weeping wall on the back side of the pool? Great design overall.

Congratulations. Can't wait to see it full and running. TBPT is one of my faves.
