Pebbletec has gotten way better over the years, It used to totally shred my feet, but its super comfortable now.
Backyard looks awesome, DS. What is going to happen to those 4" spacer lines in the concrete?

Crazy side note, when we bought the place, the appraisal only credited the property something insane like $35k for all of the landscaping in the front and back yards, including the pool. The previous owner was a professional landscaper and probably put $300k worth into it over the years.

Originally posted by bluegoose View PostBay Area prices are insane, but just a couple of hours north you can get the same package for probably a quarter to a third of what creekster was quoted. Our pool/spa/waterfall was already here when we moved in, but probably cost $150k max. And its a pretty nice set up.

My office manager's husband is a commercial plumber. He commutes to San Francisco early every Monday morning and works in the Bay for 4 days before returning home Thursday night. Makes close to triple in those 4 days what he would make here in 5 days. And not to mention the cost to his employer down there to rent an apartment for him and another guy year round.
