Building a Maracay Home

The Dog Days are coming.....

...and it will be GOOD to have a pool! Today we went and finalized our choices for the interior of the pool and the decking.

Here is the flagstome colors we chose. This will just be on the edges of the pool, near our water feature.



Our tile choice (this will have wide variations) which will go around the interior edge of the pool :



The BIG kids surprise... a pool, slide grotto... shhhhhh, don't tell! There is also an oversized second step, several umbrella sleeves, and 2 loveseats - 1 under the waterfall.



Here is the acrylic tile colors we chose for our decking.... specifically, we chose the browns (2nd row from the top, both) and the orangish one (third row down, on the right). These will be combined to get a a flagstone looking deck.... cooler on the feet and more slip-resistant that natural stone.



Ultimately this will be the Pebble Sheen color in our pool (Blue Granite).



Yesterday we finalized our landscape plan which looks like a big green lawn in the center, 3 trees in back with uplights, 1 tree in front with uplight, 50 or so small plants and a gate on the RV or right house side.

As for the house, it has been insulated, drywalled, taped, mudded, and yesterday got texture. We are closing in on stucco and trim/paint FAST. In fact, we jumped the pool selections but not by much as the pool folks got our paperwork this morning..... oh..... it is SO within grasp!
