    I just updated my thread with some new pics. Tile and Coping were done. We are thinking of going with Exposed aggregate..over white brushed concrete. I think it will look nicer against the coping. What do you think?

    I think that will go very well with your coping.

    Sean, Lookin' good. Seems like we have enough people in the Houston area to help break your pool in. When's the party? I'll bring the beer (plastic only of course).

    Speaking of deck work, did you ever go out, like I did, and count squares (rebar) to make sure you were getting the square footage as outlined on your contract? My builder has a little modifying/ expanding to do on ours. He was about 150-200 sq.ft. short. They pour in the morning.

    The re-sodding party will be in about a week and your all invited.

    No, that never even ocurred to me - wish it had. I think I will go out and try to measure though. I actually think he fudged it in my favor a little bit, but I'll check to make sure.

    Be sure to post a picture once they pour.

    They came today and did the stacked flagstone for the backside of the spa. Here are a few pictures:








    They will be coming tomorrow, weather permitting, to due the Sundek. We will also be meeting with the landscper this week to do our layout and they are sceduled for plaster on Thursday. Unfortunately, the forcast is for rain this week, so we'll see how it goes.

    Sean, They've done a great job. Hope you are as pleased as we are so far. Like you said before, the end is in sight. Unfortunately, we are on weather delay as well. Plastering has been postponed due the inclimate weather. Who would ever think that we would not wish for cool weather. I know I am not looking forward to the cool weather yet. I want to swim.
