Congratulations, your pool is beautiful! I love how you've done the lights in your yard too, very pretty and magical. Hope you get a warm winter so that you can get a ton of use out of it!

Now the cabana is complete...my husband designed and had this sign made for my birthday. I love it!

Here is a link that might be useful:

We are just loving our outdoor living area now that the pool is complete! My only regret is that we didn't do this 4 years ago when we built the house. Thanks to all of you who offered suggestions and advice, this forum has truly been a lifesaver for us.

Okay...still not smart enough to post actual photos to this forum. Thanks anyway rice_rocket for trying to help me through it. Obviously, it is beyond my scope of comprehension! LOL!

Here is a link that might be useful: pool build

Brain, I feel as you do, that it shouldn't be so difficult to post a photo in sites such as this. One shold be alb to simply cut and paste

Here you go:

Great pool and setting and what a pretty lil baby giraffe you've got there!

What kind of coping/decking is that? It is really nice!

THANK YOU CNR for posting my pictures. I just hate to admit that I wasn't smart enough to do it after multiple attempts! I'm glad there are computer savvy people like you out there to help me along! :)

srbami- the coping/decking is Kool Decking which is concrete with a substance applied to the top to keep down the temp. It works great and I have to admit was a lot less expensive than the rock coping I really wanted! After all was said and done, I was VERY happy with my decision as I had more money left to put on the cabana.
