Pool Build Photos Here is a link that might be useful: Pool Build Pictures

Thank you, we have belabored every single detail as, I am sure, everyone does. No, we still have the deck to be laid, sprinkler re-route, cleanup and then plaster last. I am right outside of Dallas, so we are still having spring showers and it might be a bit. Plus, the travertine we ordered for the deck is honed and the decking place only carries tumbled, so I am not sure how we figure that out.

5birdy, we went to home depot and got metal pipes to hang them. We had them cut to size there. We hired an electrician. We had our pool builder do the conduit over to the area and then the electrician wired it up along the inside of the sides with metal conduit that you can barely see. Fortunately the area where the front lights are had an area that was not totally solid, so he was able to run the wiring into the top of those cedar columns in front. Then he added an outlet for party lights on one of the top corners. He also ran the conduit very nicely for the chandelier. We added 3 switches...one for each of these lightings so they can be on separately if we wanted. We also added regular outlets on 2 of the back columns. I will take pictures and post this afternoon for you.

Describe what you are calling a firePLACE. There are all kinds of ways to make paving attractive, beyond what plain concrete would be. Suit yourself, but the grass strips in between blocks of paving seem like a PITA to me, increasing the level of maintenance and limiting the placement of furniture. Rather than a perspective view, do you have a PLAN view and pictures of the yard? If you need to take pictures, show complete scenes from end to end. Usually most easily done by taking slightly overlapping pictures and posting them individually.
