Pool day 17: grout grout

Almost ready grouting. A small last piece tomorrow.

Pool day 16: grout

Pool day 16: the final gresites

The very last gresite.

All that's left to do is some grouting. Oh, and water.

Pool day 15: GRESITES!

Let's begin!

It's hot - shadow

Design for the stairs.

End of the day.

Tomorrow with camera on a stand.

Gresites 5 - grmbl

It seems the gresites-mixer does not work well for low percentages. Look here, instead of the 1% luminescent tiles I used 1% red, but all we see: 0 red gresites.

Only when we select 2% we start to see red tiles, but far too few. The small grid is 12x12 = 144, so it would have to have ca. 2.4 red tiles. It is only one, always.

The big grid is 60x60 = 3600 gresites, so 1% of those is 36 red gresites, 2% is 72. Selecting 2% only shows exactly 25 red gresites instead of 72. Selecting 1% shows 0 red gresites instead of 36.

Must be an error, as it is repeatable and always wrong. As long as actual production yields correct counts we're fine, but if they use the same software as online it'll be wrong.

The luminescent gresites are greenish, therefore we haven't noticed that they are not visible in the examples.

Gresitus architectus 5

gresitus
noun | gre-si-tus | \grəh-'səe-tüs ahr-ki-tekt-us\

an acute, highly contagious condition concerning anxiety regarding the colours of your pool, aggravated by an architect irritation

The gresites have been ordered, but there is a slight problem holding up construction and digging: the license is not yet available. The architect says the council is slow, because the technical person is there only one day a week, but we think it's the architect himself who tries to pass on his responsibility to the council. Grmbll. A month time to arrange this must be sufficient, if you.. For us it's not so bad, we have time, but for the builder it's worse. He has to hire people, make a planning, etc. Only plus is that if Vidrepur is slow delivering the gresites, that is not a problem.

The architect now worries that if you just start work people will call the police because you are building illegally. This week it's Semana Santa, so many tourists and people having time off, so they might see this activity. Now they will start coming Monday, and cover the work with a blue plastic in the evening.

By the way, the gresites mix shown has been ordered: green, black, yellow and... luminescent!

Gresitus 4 - final?

Well, will this be it? A Vidrepur mix nrs 507 (clouded green), 504 (clouded yellow) en 509 (clouded black), 70-15-15%, black grout, and a black pool edge. We'll get 1 m² of luminescent tiles, to accent the steps, and randomly scatter in the pool. But, what colour luminescents? There are 3 colours.. (see below).
UPDATE: There is a luminescent gresite in the mix generator: 412FG! The other two are not. Today ask the cost.

Gresitus 3 - mezclar!

A lot of un, if this is what you like.

Gresitus 2

Wednesday the decision must be made. The plan is that the pool has an overflow from "high terrace" to "low terrace" on the lefthand side. And none of those ugly "skimmers"

Gresitus

gresitus
noun | gre-si-tus | \grəh-'səe-tüs\

an acute, highly contagious condition concerning anxiety regarding the colours of your pool

We were just about to settle for a sandy-yellow gresite (ref 504), when a dark green pool surfaced, and that is very very beautiful, too. Perhaps even more beautiful. Or not? It should match our yellow-orangy tile we selected for the terrace and around the pool.

A grey grout is interesting too. Or white after all? Black is possible too. And blue, yellow and red.

As you can see, we're experiencing a bad bout of gresitus.

(And I haven't even mentioned we need to choose a colour for the narrow rim of the pool.)

The "deia" tile for the terrace and around the pool.
