Busy, busy pool work

The pool area was a busy bee hive of activity yesterday.  With the new finish applied, the pool has been transformed from ugly concrete grey to bright, white and pristine.  Once it has been "brushed", the finish will have a beautiful speckled blue aggregate showing through.

 

Tile is in

Yesterday, the new pool tile was put in.  We chose a beautiful blue stone tile for the waterline and pool features.  It has a lovely soft feel and certainly gives the pool an updated look.  Many thanks to Kenny at All-In Construction who arranged to have tile samples couriered to us so that we could make the right choice!
This is extending the contemporary and modern feeling of the villa to the exterior pool area.  Given the orientation of the villa, which baths the backyard in sunshine all day and provides such a beautiful vista, we know that we and our guests will be spending just as much time outdoors as inside, if not more!

Someone took the pool!!

Mike flew down to Orlando today and when he arrived at the villa it looked like someone had taken the pool! 
Actually, All-In Construction began their work today on renovating the pool.  They've stripped out all the old tile and old finish.  We'll post more pictures of the process as the work goes along .... it's going to take a couple of weeks... but it will be all ready for our next guests at the end of May.
All-In Construction is the same company that did the interior renovation of the villa.  If their previous work is anything to go by... the pool is going to be stunning.
