Welcome to the forum!
I have provided a link to photo bucket so you can see the progress on our pool build. Let me know what you think. 200 plus pictures and counting. April 1st we will be starting our 9th month of the build

with those pictures? And, I'd like to re-do it, once the pool is complete, if you'll allow me.
Admin,
I was considering doing this but if your offering your help, I would gladly accept! Thanks. Please let me know how to find it on you tube when you post it. You probably know this but, I'll keep updating the master file and then you can keep going back to the original link in this thread and you will be current.
Wow and double wow! Congrats. I think you should invite everybody who posts a comment to the grand opening. ;)
Thanks. That sounds great.
I'll post the link here. I've just begun learning how to edit and assemble videos, since more and more people are seeking YouTube based help. My hope is to assemble a series of "here's how it's done" videos going from pools like yours, all the way to Intex type pools.
This is what the yard looked like before we started

I should have said click on video to play
No kidding --- WOW!! That is quite an extensive project! The image of what the finished results will be like is just gorgeous!
Thanks watermom. If you click on the image the video starts. I see your puppies' in your Avatar, here is a picture of ours.

Travertine pavers being installed on two sets of stairs. They will start the other side next week.

What is your estimated completion date?
We are entering the 9th month of construction. I expect the pool to be up and running in about two weeks. I also expect it to take another 8 weeks to get the audio/visual, landscaping, lighting, irrigation, and perimeter walls stucco and stoned
If you can, please take some pictures when the finish is applied, and when the equipment is installed.
I've been researching surge protection, in another thread. If you have thunderstorms in your area, you may want to take a look at this thread:

before your wiring is done.
Thanks PoolDoc I will take plenty of pictures and check the surge protection
Back from NYC and the mosaic has been installed.

Looks like you are building a real showplace!

They have started to plaster with this.

Do you have mechanical and electrical layout drawings? I'd be interested in associating those with these pictures.
No drawings as of yet. They are just getting the equipment up and running. There will be some tuning up and optimizing.
No design drawings?
I have CAD files for the design of the pool as well as plumbing of the pool
