Re: Roger's Pool Build
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.

Re: Roger's Pool Build
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!

Re: Roger's Pool Build
Beautiful pool.
What are you going to use to seal the flagstone ? (I need to do that myself).
-
Re: Roger's Pool Build
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.
