Continuing the pool saga today with the stamp job (Bored out of my mind,we have had 3 inches of rain since yesterday and lots more on the way)

Anyway we had a break in the rain and got the crette done. The crette was poured and floated smooth. Then it was time to stamp. Its a simple proccess of rubber stamps beat into the surface. The release agent is thrown down (Everywhere and on Everything) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif Snap a couple lines and go for it.

Once done its pressure washed, the control joints are cut and its time for a serious pool cleaning. The release agent is silicone based and floats so cleaning went quite fast. In a couple weeks it gets acid washed to make it look more like real stones. Then its fence time and slap in the finishing touches. Here it is so far.

I hooked up the low-voltage lights on the retaining wall and in the steps. Looks nice at night.

So far so good if I can only keep walking up right long enough to finish it. I started framing this 12x12 pavilion yesterday then the rain started. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angry-smiley-055.gif Will end up with cedar shakes and custom copper flashing.

Looks good, but I don't know anything about it. Now, if that was a custom below ground hunting blind, we could both speak at an educated level. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif
 
That stamped crete is cool stuff. I worked with it for 2 summers. It is amazing what some of it will turn out like. Now, I think u need a privacy fence... Nothing there to keep a couple of teenagers from having a pool party with out clothes otherwise!!!!
 
Looks very nice---your family should enjoy it for years

It's 100 degrees or just about that here today, so I may even go and use my own pool. My wife and our labs use it daily, I use it about 3 times a year.
 
Looks good Grunter! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif Lookin forward to seeing it all when its done... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
