Update: Well I'm rethinking my support for Trumps border wall, because laying stone is an arse whopping. Lol. I'm glad I did it to know I could and I'm happy with the finished product but it took me about 10 hours of labor and I know some guys that would've had that knocked out in about 3. That's an art and much respect to the men that can do that day in and day out.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And for tips I only have one, if you're gonna do stone work this tool is worth its weight in gold. I didn't acquire it until I was just about done but it would have saved me a lot of cutting and chiseling. ![]() Granite is being measured right now and hoping for install on Friday.

While I was setting stone the wife and father in law started on one of two flower beds. They did a good job I'm thankful she likes to get involved.

Make sure you wrap those majesty palms in the winter if there's a freeze coming! I didn't think you could kill them but this small freeze we had this past year did it. Killed my queen palms too. Pool looks great man!

I would get some of that metal fireplace edging from home depot and put it inside your stone flower bed border. It really helps keep the dirt from creeping between the stones, which helps keep grass and stuff out of there, and it will keep the soil from slowly pushing those stones outward over time.

Thanks guys, I'm starting to see the end I think. They poured slab for the pergola and we completed the other flower bed that runs along the fence. I also started building the pergola last night and hope to get it finished this afternoon. It's 12'x12' and all the cedar and post footing and hardware we're just under 1k at the depot. It's crazy what people are charging to build these things and so simple. I chose not to notch mr runners but thanks to the green screen screen insight we will be using my Kreg Jig HD, I'm loving this thing here lately.
![]() ![]() ![]() They should be putting granite on today so I can finish the kitchen and bar I'll post pics when I get home. Then heading west to do some turkey hunting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Very nice!
A question, comment, a suggestion and a warning. Question- Why did they put the skimmer on the side of the pool opposite the pump and filter? Comment- great decision not to go deep. The only reason is for a diving board, and if you're ever heard/ read of the neck injuries, however rare, you have one less headache to worry about. Suggestion- Pull power to an outdoor switch and put a light above the pool equipment so if/when you need to check something and it's dark you don't need a flashlight. My in-ground pool is the first, and last pool I'll ever own. But it was worth the effort and cost when the kids where young up through high school and college. Not any more. Warning- I know of 2 children who drowned in an in ground pool while a bunch of kids were in the pool, and a bunch of parents/ adults were gathered around the pool. As my wife says, "What sound does a drowning child make? None". You think it can't happen to you, but the 2 families I know probably thought the same thing. Carry on!

I think that y'all will truly enjoy your sport pool. People of all ages have played and loved water volleyball in our 3.5'- 5'- 4' pool. Have fun!!

Watch your kids. It's also a great reason to get them into swimming lessons now. I thought I knew how to swim until I took the Water Safety Instructor course to fill a phys ed credit in college.
Have fun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Awesome.
Good choice on the Polaris pool cleaner. Any parts you might need in the future are available on amazon and 1/2 the price of pool stores. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
