Building a Pool Day by Day: Deco Tiles

It's been a week since I last spilled my thoughts so here goes:

1. Demolition will occur next week, which means that GrandVista Pools will begin digging on the 25th. The day he said he would! Barring a last minute tropical storm or hurricane, we are well on our way and our contractor's credibility remains high (where he started), so our goal of having a pool by Thanksgiving is on track!
2. Deco Tiles. Guess what. They cost about $15/tile MORE than the standard. That's not a surprise. What was nice is that Kevin (our contractor) tried to get us to do only 1 deco tile for every 7 regular tiles. My wife ixnayed that one. We are getting 1 Deco Tile for every 3 regular tiles. Translation: 65 Deco Tiles instead of about 27. You do the math.

Lesson learned. Don't argue with your wife. You'll lose!
