In any event, here are a few...

    My pool is going to be very similar, but smaller. I can't wait to see your progress.

    Ours gets dug the beginning of next week!

    Love the size! Wish we could have gone that size! My dream pool. Are you in Florida?

    I thought I recognized the natural landscape... we are your neighbors...Titusville, Brevard County.

    We are in the construction process also.

    I'll post more pics later, but things are finally moving along. Coping went in yesterday (cream concrete bullnose paver), and pavers decking will probably go in today.

    Love your pavers--where are they from? I'm in Orlando too and I'd love to see photos of the pavers once they are down. I have to choose mine next week so I'll be checking your thread. Looks great!

    cruzangirl,

    The pic posted earlier in the thread lists the paver maker. We purchased the pavers from Orlando Brick Pavers.

    Gorilla -

    That is going to be a very classy pool when it's done! Beautiful surroundings, too. Don't ever worry about your pictures being boring - they're not! This is a pool forum, after all, and everybody here gets excited over anything on a pool, even drain covers and stuff :).Please keep posting!

    Getting close to seeing some water in there I see.... Looks great... I too really love the color of the pavers... they blend so nice... almost looks like tile... Is that a tall dead tree lurking on the left next to that pool ??? or is it the ones that have a few branches alive high up ??? Dead tall trees plus wind can be a bad thing! LOL Lookin good !!

    P.S. I just can't post a pic of the finished product on that old thread...lol..I'd feel like a beeotch! lol

    That's funny!!

    The tree is alive... you just cannot see the top. It's a tall one.

    I LOOOVE your pavers. They look really nice. The color is AWESOME! The only thing I would recommend is getting a tan/beige colored skimmer cover.

    Thanks for the paver photos--I'm forwarding a link to my husband now. Have to pick ours out this week and I really like yours.

    cruzangirl,

    Thanks... don't forget that there is a light sand residue on the pavers...
