Steve's pool build status - Work started 2/19/2007!

Well last week I completed the landscaping. It took 6 days with 3 helpers each day to complete the following.

1. Landscaping
2. Repair french drain
3. Rock work
4. Completly redo 3 zones of my irrigation system
5. Resod the front yard and back side yards
6. Install flagstone walkway and rainbow gravel between fence sections where the pool equiptment is (~25 feet)

The only things left to do are outdoor kitchen and the firepit. The big holdup has been the granite countertop people. They were backlogged so all the rock work has to wait until the countertops are done.

I will post more pictures once the rock work gets done.

Steve,

Your pool and surround just turned out great. FYI, how did the spacing on the bubblers turn out??? Any interference between them at all? Just curious. Thanks for sharing your build.

The spacing is great. I need to take some action shots. If I turn down the waterfall and weeping wall I can get the bubblers up around 5-6' Thanks!

I just wanted to post some final pictures of my pool, kitchen and porch project. The delay to complete the last few thing was my fault. The granite contractor took way longer then I expected which in turn delayed the pool company from completing the rock work. I still have few small punch out items that need to be addressed but overall I am very happy with the end result.

I would also like to say the support on this forum has been great. My pool would not have turned out so nice without the input from all of you. Thanks!

Steve,

I'm getting ready to build my BBQ, is the granite counter top hot to the touch? My BBQ will not be protected from the sun. Let me know.

Thanks,

Yes it is pretty hot but I would imagine any countertop would be. There are three unbrella holders in the kitchen so when there is an umbrella it is fine. I need to go buy some larger ones so I can overlap the entire kitchen.
