Now that my horse dream has come true, it would be good to have a way to cool off. Lee had authorized us to find a pool company, which I finally did, and the guy came to measure our space a while back. Finally, we got to go look at designs.

You’ll not be seeing the first design, though it was nice. It had every possible high-end finish, two fire features and thousands of dollars worth of rocks. Lee was not pleased. So, we found other options and knocked a third of the cost off. It’s still really nice!

Other than the complete lack of shade, that’s darn nice. I like the patio space and the tanning ledge, which I will use after dark, no doubt. It will look very cool at night.

The hot tub has a waterfall, which gives a running water sound without building a giant rock waterfall. And I plan to put subdued tiles around it, to blend in with the rest of the house.

I’m very proud of myself for not choosing the shiniest option.

I know things change around here at a moment’s notice and we may have to pivot once again. But until then, I’m dreaming of this pool as I water the horses and splash it on myself to cool off.
That’s an imaginary pool house back there. Moody green light I like the native landscape Sunset view Nighttime by the spa. Typical blazing sun view Lots of steps. Sky view. For drones. Lee says no umbrellas! I like the fire thing.
You may want to consider Sun Shades or some sort of structure for shade. Trees are lovely, but tend to do naughty things like drop leaves in your pool. Requires lots of use of the net. Ask how I know…
