Steve I am also in Houston and currently reviewing pool bids. Your pool design looks great and is very similar to what we are looking at doing. Your pricing looks very competitive. So much so that I am probably going to call your builder for a quote.

Are you keeping the flagstone inlays with the pea gravel? We are also contemplating flagstone inlays in sundek. I hadnt thought about flagstone in pea gravel. That is a pretty significant cost savings switching to pea gravel.

You should also think about keeping the MDX drains and canister even without the infloor cleaning system. That way you can sweep leaves to the drain and have it go to the cannister. One of my potential builders will do that even without the PPC-2000.

Also you might consider switching the single 500w light to 2 300w lights to provide some better lighting. The cost difference should only be a couple hundred dollars

Great looking pool!

Yes it would be pea gravel with flagstone inlay. I am not worried about the cost as much as the fact that my wife just does not love the way it looks. She grew up using a pea gravel pool and I think there is some nostalgia there. The problem is that was in NY and the deck gets a bit hotter here! They use the MDX drains even without the cleaning system. I don't think they keep the canister so I may add that. I forgot that I am going with 2 lights instead of the single. Thanks for the input and complements!
