I'm going crazy with the pool!

The area that the pavilion will be. It is behind the master bedroom.
From the deep end, looking to the shallow end. You can also see where it is framed for the deck.

It started out with what I would call the bare necessities and 5 months later it is totally out of control!
I'll name a few of our, but mainly my splurges:
1. I added 3 feet of deck to the left side of the pool. It was initially going to be 5 feet, now it is 8.
2. I added accent tiles to what was just going to be blue. Once I saw them, I just had to get them. Know what I mean?
3. I changed my mind about the chlorination system. I now HAVE to have the salt system, chlorine simply won't do.
4. Chris added a pavilion that is octagonal shape and 16 feet around. We also had to add concrete and acrylic topping to go under this pavilion.
5. We were not going to have the pool heated, but now it will be.
Did I say enough? Do you get the picture? I am OUT OF CONTROL. Stop me now before someone gets hurt, or totally broke! :)
I am going to love The Shipley Pool! Get ready to swim!

Why not? If you're gonna do it, do it big! It looks like it's going to be really nice and I know you'll enjoy it forever.

I love the mohawk picture and tell Chris he looks aDORAble. :)
