I think it would be great to have the "What does your pool look like" thread going again. So many awesome pools out there-but my fav was the 1 person "bucket" pool!
Unfortunately I don't have a pool of my own-yet-to post the 1st one.

Here is a link to some pool pictures that JLove posted in a different forum discussing pool finishes. It is a beautiful pool, so I am referencing the link here for people who might not read the construction forum so they can enjoy them, too. (It is the third post in the thread.)

(We all like to see pool pics, so let's get some more posted in here for us to see!)
Ok....
I had to give this a try because I didn't know how to do it either...

Your pool & backyard are BEAUTIFUL! I don't even want to think about how much that cost, :eek: but it looks like it was worth every penny! Absolutely awesome.:)
JLove,
I echo what Sherra said. Breathtaking pool! Totally awesome! (LOVE the BBQ area!)
Well, I told the wife she can do the addition to the house if I get to do the backyard no questions asked. I'm really really happy with the way it turned out and like I explained to her, it's the price equivalent to a luxury car, but we'll get way more out of it. Thanks for the comments guys! Here's another couple:

hey hey,
I live in Hollywood, Florida. south florida house was built in the 1970's as was the pool, living here 3 years so far. here are 2 before and 2 after pics from the last hurricane season, alot of damage both inside and outside. We are currently remodeling the house inside/outside hopefully in the next 2-3months the front and backyard landscape will be done. The pool is not all fancy but it does keep us cool in the summer time and all year :)

Chris,
I used tumbled bluestone (flagstone) for the coping and chilton limestone (Natural Stone Veneer) for the Walls and Spa Surround.

PhantomAndy,
I enjoyed looking at your construction photos. We are waiting for concrete decking on Tuesday. I like your liner too! Here is a picture of our pool right now:

Finally got a chance to get a decent shot of mine. I realized the one I use here is a few years old.

That's actually 9 photos stitched together. I couldn't afford the wide-angle lens needed to get that shot! If you are interested, the software is free and really easy to use: http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~mbrown/autostitch/autostitch.html

Lovely pool, landscaping and your pool partner is just beautiful. Maybe I can get my non swimming lab to float...we haven't tried that.
Here are mine. We have quite a bit of landscaping to do. Oh, and it was filled on Friday. So, I've only been swimming in it for a few days now. The decking still needs to get its color and sealant. That'll be done in the next couple of weeks as we will be out of town.
