Pool Time

Robert is ready to pour the pool deck and Christian isn't there yet with the concept - I think we pushed things forward, and sat waiting for Christian to appear at the house - an hour late, he calls to say that he and Robert have been hashing things out and are on the way.

Christian will stake the deck on Monday and have samples of the deck tile by then

We picked the pool tile and finish colours - a deep turquoise

The pool deck will be using a high end Costa Rican product from Barro Barroco - colour yet to be set, but something of the taupe / limestone family.

We will see the final landscape concepts tomorrow - I think we are getting closer to a great, but much simpler design - at the end of it, budget will likely force it to get simpler, or to happen in stages.

The floor tiles fit great and look amazing - the wood stain samples arrived and reviewed on site - very confusing as there are two different stains, both called MIEL - one is almost clear with a bit of yellow, the other has some red, but not orangy - we picked the second as it has some character and in the space is not at all dark.

We will see what tomorrow brings with Christian - and then the drive back to San Jose - our time here is pretty much done.
