The excavation started yesterday, Friday and they are anticipating Gunite next Tuesday. We'll see how it goes. The weather has been very good here for the past week or so.

Roger,

Congratulations!!!! Nice design and looks like it will tuck in your backyard with room to spare. What are all of the specs on your pool? Keep the pics coming. :D :)

[skamp]

Nice design! Looks like they are on the way. Keep posting updates!

The gunite is complete and the equipment is installed. Next step is coping, tile, and electrical work.

I have a sprinkler in the pool to wet the gunite every 6 hours or so.

[drogers]

We're debating Primera stone too, unfortunately there are very few pics of it availble, and the ones on wetedge's website are hard to judge by... My PB is filling a pool this week with it though, so we'll get to see at least one in person.

[26theone]

Tile, Coping and Electrical finished last week. I need to upload a new picture.

The deck forming should be completed today with the concrete pouring later this week if the weather holds out.

Interior pool finish and fill is scheduled for next week.

Then spray deck and cleanup.

We are looking at finishing in less than a month!

[26theone]

The deck concrete was poured today but it was too dark to take pictures. I have some other pictures of the progress. We are hoping to finish soon.

Beautiful pool.
What are you going to use to seal the flagstone ? (I need to do that myself).

[26theone]

Thanks,

Im probably going to use a color enhancer made by StoneTech as I can get it locally and have talked to someone that is happy with it.


StoneCare International also sells a stone color enhancer that is also good. http://www.stonecare.com


Another sealer that is supposed to be good is called Sure Seal. http://www.suresealusa.com/USA%20Products.html

Just depends if you want the flagstone to look like its wet (dark) or if you dont want it to change the appearance at all. Most all color enhancers also are sealers but you can get sealers that dont change the appearance of the stone.
