We are ready to land our pool project!
The pool surface has been applied. The product used here is called Hydrazzo, which is similar to Terrazzo flooring. Hydrazzo combines naturally beautiful coarse graded crystalline and colored marble, along with white Portland cement and a host of other performance-enhancing ingredients to create the ultimate pool coating. It is a very smooth finish, so it is comfortable on your toes! And the aggregate and crystal, once exposed by polishing, create a beautiful, rich texture.
Though this photograph doesn't really do it justice, this is what it looks like during the polishing process.
The surrounding lighting is installed, with the exception of a couple of fixtures that arrived broken and are waiting for replacement parts. It can't be easy!
The trellis that backs the spa was handily built by our contractor, Al.
Plants arrived, and are being installed while I write this!
All the pieces are coming together. We did run into one small problem, trying to tie the new irrigation system into the existing main line. The line had been broken during the construction process, and was buried under the pool decking. Set back the installation a little, but a solution was found, and all is moving on track again.
Next week will be the big reveal. I hope you like what you see!
