04/17/2012 Day 9- A chance to pick colors

No workers again today...but we did choose the colors for the plaster and the tile. Because we live within a few miles from the southern-most tip of San Francisco Bay we get frequent afternoon sea breezes that normally drop the temperature rapidly in the late afternoon and early evening. We need to conserve and promote ever possible degree of solar heating and solar energy retention in the pool. Keeping this in mind we chose to go with the darkest colors possible (with the exception of black) to keep the pool warm. Here are some pictures of the final choices:

Nicely textured tiles that will compliment the redwood fence and  lava colored concrete
