Get it!

Lots of you have them and I need ideas.. I have a consultation friday morning for moving the septic tank (man what a day in the life of...) and running elevations to see what my options are..

I really want to go with gunite over fiberglass and then spend the rest of the year putting together the patio through contractors..

I need some ideas, post away!

coolest one I've worked on was a stainless steel pool with a consistent 4 ft depth

keep in mind what a pool can be used for
swimming laps
water volley ball
diving
drinking (swim up bar)
grotto
water fall
fountain

some features will preclude others

fun project

a 10 person swimup bar is on the notes so far.. I want to have a water level bar top pedestal in the shallow end with a 4 person pillar seating setup and a shallow "beach" end thats only 3.5" deep for laying out in the sun and havin a place for the dog to relax (shes old and yes, shes a person to me!)

^^^ sex?

well maybe.....

I was thinking more about staying away from the water where people don't ever have to leave their bar stool

Mine is very simple and to the point. 20x40 with a raised jacuzzi that waterfalls into the pool. I went rectangle so I could install a keyed safety cover with the tracks hidden the coping. I more or less built my house around the pool with the sunroom and greatroom looking out onto it. There is an outdoor living room that I will be adding a fireplace and tv to this summer and on the opposite side of the house there is an outdoor kitchen/dining area.
