Finish work started....

Progress is happening .... Now that we have the retaining wall, step up completed, we have the waterline tile installed. Its called Durango something from NPT













Here is a picture in progress....













And final ..













The cover people will install the cover rail pretty soon and then goes the coping... We are almost there now....

Winter is on the way out... Some new stuff

There has not been much progress on the house or the barn and definitely nothing on the pool over the winter.... Hoping for a good spring push to get some of them completed but as the saying goes its a never ending process.....














Here is the view out of the family room... The immediate deck will be covered by flagstone or tile, depending on some of the other choices.... The gravel will remain with a fire pit at the end where we have the stone bench. To the right where the dirt lies will be a patio using travertine pavers. The block wall was needed to handle the transition from ground level to the pool. It also gives us a nice seating area, being between 8" and 16" above grade. We will face it with stone. The wall to the left inside of the pool will also be stone faced and will have two waterfalls. And finally in the back side of the pool, we will have four water spouts arcing into the pool as well...
















The pool equipment is finally in place. I think it does fit pretty well but more importantly we are making progress to completion...















Not that it does a good job, but this picture does capture the pool, relative to the barn and the master bedroom wing.
