Well, if you hadn't been so busy scrubbing the driveway Thursday, you could have seen all the plans! LOL

No, we didn't go with fiberglass. There is some thought that fiberglass may be outlawed in Florida in the near future, as many such pools crack at the water line where it can get extremely hot above water and colder beneath. Then the fibers end up in the water. So concrete/gunnite it is for us.

Pool will be a little shy of 29' by 17'. Curved shape. Beach area with spa jets and a bubbler (which I'm sure the grandkids will love). There will also be another bench area with spa jets. There will be a two step up deck in the back to accommodate three waterfall curtains.

Birdcage will extend as far to the rear as possible and will cover the entire length of the back of the house (50'x 25').

This, of course means we will be removing our 10 x 10 block patio and stone patio that is currently off our existing lanai. Don't know if we can re-purpose the block and stone, so we may be disposing of them.

Permit process will take 3 - 4 weeks, then we shall start. Should be interesting.
