Details

Progress is still moving slowly at our pool project, mostly due to the rain this week, but the details are starting to fall into place.  The mason has been working on the spa area, creating the field stone spillway and the facing on the raised portion of the surround.  A touch of natural will really ground this project!

This stone will be contrasted by a beautiful glass tile at the water line.  The 1"x4" tile is a very dark glass, and has a slightly iridescent quality when in direct sun.  The modern shape and material will add an elegance in detail that will be complemented in details we'll see later.

This photo shows the tile with the paper fronting that facilitates installation.  This paper is soaked off once the mortar has set.

Next will be the fireplace.  The form for the pad is in place and ready to pour.  Hopefully, this time next week we'll be sharing that with you!
