Step By Step

At our pool project, we're entering the final phases.  As each element is completed, the overall design starts to emerge.

Pool decking and Travertine on the steps and porch are all completely installed.

The fence has been installed.  Due to safety and code regulations, we had to use a somewhat creative placement, but this will make more sense when the landscaping is installed.

The water line tile has been installed in the spa, and the coping is now complete.

The concrete shell is being pressure washed and any rough spots will be ground down in preparation for the inner lining to be applied.

Meanwhile, some of the fun details are happening.  These free-standing columns will each have a sconce to light the pool area.  The columns are prefab PVC, and should be standing till the end of time!

And today, the electric for the sconces is being trenched into the pool surround.

We hate seeing a big mess again, but it's all part of the process.  Getting close...so close you can smell the chlorine.  (Well, in this case it's a salt-water pool...but still!)
