Work continued on the ledgestone today with everything but around the spill from the spa being finished. We are very happy with the way it looks. It goes with the slide structure perfectly!
Day 25 – Pool Construction – Ledgestone Started
They started putting on the ledgestone today. It looks absolutely gorgeous! There is definitely an art to putting on the ledgestone. There are a bunch of pieces and they have to be arranged just so, to get a balanced look. The guy doing our ledgestone puts a lot of effort into making it look just right. He does an awesome job.
