Quoted from PACMAN:After a LOT of scribbling, erasing, redrawing etc. I came up with this.
Watch out, you KNOW kids and adults are gonna be jumping in off that bridge.
That's why it will have this.

Your pool is really coming along nicely - what artistic vision you have! Can't wait to see the completed project!

Sorry, i asked and my wife said no. 
Quoted from pinzrfun:Can i move in? I'll bring all my games.
And I'm housebroken, for the most part!
Perhaps. But worth it 
Quoted from kklank:All those rocks are one hell of an expensive mod!
I say you pipe in some natural gas lines so you can have permanent torches going at night....fit right in.
i thought about it but propane is SUPER expensive here.

This is fantastic. I've actually thought about my dream pool and this has a lot of the same features. I especially like that you'd be able to do some "cliff jumping" off the waterfall. I think many designers go for the slide and forget how much fun kids have just jumping into the pool. Did you consider anything for lap swimming? Like you, I prefer the natural looking design, but one consideration I had was to try to make sure the areas perpendicular to the longest distance across the pool were on flat areas. I also though it would be fun to have a small rock climbing wall on the side of the waterfall. Just make sure it's greater then 90 degrees, so you don't catch your chin on the way down. Still like I said, this is pretty close to my dream pool. Nice work.
PS: I manage the pool in my community.

The first thing I thought of was the Temple of Doom rope bridge scene

200-300K?

Do you need a refresher?
Quoted from gliebig:He's Freida's boss.
Who's Freida?
Hmmmmm. maybe.
Quoted from phillymadison:Pac you should hide some secret images in the rock sculpts. Like a little Pac-Man or Mickey Mouse head like they do in Disney. They even did it in one of the Indiana Jones movies.
Quoted from spfxted:200-300K?
And he's worried about the price of propane?! 
Quoted from DennisDodel:And he's worried about the price of propane?!
I agree he needs to revisit the cost of them especially being a fan of Indiana Jones. Two would be unreal and so cool and two torches would burn minimul propane...I’m sure 10 gallons would last the summer.
