Thinset arrived yesterday, so I might start tiling next weekend. If not, the following weekend for sure. My metal is also in for the porch roof. I might pick that up this afternoon if I get done with the job I'm on in time, or I'll go tomorrow morning to get it. We are having a birthday party for Karen's youngest grandson. He just turned 2. He loves to play on the steps in the pool!!!
This will be the last time it's used until the tile is done. My supplier told me that the biggest reason for failure on swimming pool tile is from filling the pool too soon. The thinset needs at least two weeks to cure, with a month being better. I plan on doing a custom mosaic on the back wall, so that's going to take a lot of time, along with working on the porch, so it might be winter before I'm ready to fill it again.
Here are a few pics from last night. My wife and I really enjoy sitting out there under the ceiling fans, and listening to the water fall into the pool. Then when it gets dark, the view of the pool all lit up, along with the tiki torches, is just very relaxing.
