Oh you can easily fall off this bitch. They still need to come in with some back fill dirt which should cut it down to managable.

Overlay going down




A couple hours later.....finished


a better pic of the pattern.




Here is the dog wash drain. The true color is starting to come out. I can't wait till the sealer goes down and the real colos shows.

Don't run and fall on that shit or you will need a skin graft!

Dang Keith you're worse than me at too many projects at once. Very cool looking, can't wait to see the finished project. Our's will be going in around Feb-Mar. Not sure yet if we're doing the pool and patio/kitchen or split it up and just do one first. You can spend some serious money on these things fast.

how is it going to be protected from cracking cuz of the dry ground heard some companies are trying out new techniques whats your doing.

rebar (not touching existing slab), 4-5" of concrete throughout, deep sand base, 18" wide footers around the yard side.

Concrete is gonna crack, just hope it does so on the expansion lines.

We looked at pavers but decided concrete was going to be a better fit for us.

All the concrete work is done. Time for the stonework.

Who did that "overlay'? That is what I want done to my 15x15 patio!


Anyone here do this?

Concrete is going in tomorrow at 9am.

I need to get up early and move the gas pipe coming up in the fire pit. Off by 8 inches.

No I am not doing it myself. I discovered the other day a shovel does not fit my hands very well (I tried at least two).

As far as the cost, I am way over budget but I wanted it done right. For the money I am paying, if it is not done right I am going to explode. BMR Pools is doing the entire job. Next up is landscape. More pics tomorrow after they pour.

based on what they charged me on my overlay, expect about $2,800-3,000

David already said it but we are using BMR Pools and Patio out of Lewisville. My rep there is Sam Brown (female).
