I've seen this process firsthand and it was amazing to watch. The guys that did my first pool actually mixed two colors of pebbletec and it was perfect. I'm about to get my 2nd pool built and I'm getting aqua blue pebbletec. Can't wait to see this being done again!

@@Sierrabuildco Hey man, its funny - looks like we are doing are doing similar stuff! Your videos look great; You need to post more! I Love the David O'Dell concrete video...I've been watching him for years! I lived in South OC for decades, but moved to San Diego in 1998. I did pools when I was a teenager, it was good money for a kid my age. I worked in TV and Movies for 25 years and then 10 years ago I came back to pools when the production industry dried up here in San Diego. I kick myself sometimes because I think I should have stuck with the pools when I was a kid. Working in production was fun, but ultimately I went nowhere because I hated working in LA. I have a very small business, and intend to keep it that way. I'm 52 and I'm not looking to knock myself out anymore. I Love working for myself, my clients give me that purpose in life I was looking for but never found in the Movie business. I used to think serving others was for the weak, I wanted others to serve me. I have found new life and purpose in serving others. Having recession proof income is nice as well. Rock on!

@@angrypoolman wow we have similar stories, I pursued a career in marketing/design and realized I wanted to get back into the blue collar life (grew up in the pool industry). Haven’t been happier, and I agree-it’s a blessing to serve others. So grateful for it. I’ll check out your page when I get home later today! We’ll have to connect some time

I did marbelite and pebble pools for 8 years. If you want to finish 2-3 pools a day, just add a scoop of calcium chloride to every 8 bag mix and a scoop of easyspread to combat trowel burn.

New plasterer here, What’s ur opinion of rounded vs squared trowels for plastering?? Or do you use them for different things?

@H20Spy 11 ай бұрын

Outstanding clip! Two questions: Can all coping/tile be removed/replaced? Which plaster requires the least maintenance? Thanks

@Sierrabuildco 11 ай бұрын

Essentially all tile & coping can be demoed and replaced, yes! Mini pebble (as shown in the video) is the least amount of maintenance in terms of it having a longer life span and holding up to acids washes better than traditional plaster 👍 Hope that helps!

Take up time is set by tempaturw and additives. Raw concrete vs raw plaster is actually about the same for normal applications but does depend on thickness poured/troweled on

Enjoyed your video and commentary. I am researching PebbleTec installations to arrive at an opinion of whether the delamination crack I have found following along the edge of 1" square step tiles (the safety tiles indicating a step edge) is something I could repair with an injection of structural epoxy. The PebbleTec has moved away from the tile along the face of the step. It appears there is space to inject the epoxy. I would then apply pressure to the PebbleTec to force a bond while it cures. Am I dreaming I could create a reasonable repair in this manner or do I need to call in the Pros to remove the PebbleTec and resurface? I am a very DIY guy with lots of tools and projects clipped to my belt! Thanks for any constructive opinions or advise. Cheers!

@Sierrabuildco Жыл бұрын

Thank you for taking the time to watch! Really appreciate it. In theory this idea may (or may not work), it's really hard to say. I will say however since the delaminating process has already started even with a bandaid fix the problem will continue. Only sure fire way to do it is to remove the pebble and replacing it, you can try a small area and patch it though it would likely be fairly noticable--otherwise just replace the entire surface. Hope that helps some!

@jimsimpson2393 Жыл бұрын

@@Sierrabuildco Thanks for your quick reply. Further thinking has matched up with your comments: that the epoxy would probably work if it was able to be uniformly spread over the entire area of the delamination. Unfortunately, there is no way I will know that I have achieved that (odds seem low). If I don't achieve that I am thinking water will infiltrate and begin the delamination again. I have since found a company (Pool Patch) that sells kits that appear to be able to match my pebble mix and have videos that pretty much match my situation. I will likely be trying their product. Again, thanks for taking the time to respond to my question.

@nicolasurrieta7335 11 ай бұрын

Hello, excellent work that you do! My question is simple and it is if this treatment can help me to permanently seal a leak that I cannot find. I have already pulled and redone a wall, the staircase and I have even built a new pool inside the old one... but it continues to lose water. I have spent a lot of money on repairs but the problem has not been fixed. In case you were wondering, the loss is not in the pipes. That's why I ask if doing this finish would at least give me the solution of completely sealing the pool. greetings

@Sierrabuildco 11 ай бұрын

Hello, unfortunately I don’t believe this would solve your problem, it sounds like it’s an issue with the pool shell (which would eventually lead to the plaster failing as well)

@Justthemow 11 ай бұрын

If you do another pool you can buy this tumbled recycled glass and add it in the mix as like a pebble tech look or you can use cut out to lay out on the wet plaster to add in designs like dolphins octopuses initials or ledge borders it’s a pretty cool effect and it’s relatively cheap it will also extend the life of the plaster if you add it into the mix I don’t remember the ratio but you can find it out there somewhere.

Neat video thanks. Can you please explain why when I see anyone making some kind of pool, they start at the steps and go to the deep end? Wouldnt it be better to not block yourselves in and get stuck in the deep end then have to ruin what you just did to get out?

@Sierrabuildco 11 ай бұрын

Thank you! Good question, the reason is that all the water used for exposing at the end would run down on the already finished deep end, so since water will follow that way down they finish it last working from top to bottom. I think I actually talk about this in our newest plaster video also :) go check it out!

Howdy Sierra Can you tell me Is that FINISH that you are filming in shallow end ( sorry forgot the name you used for it) where the 1 Guy with the Blower, the other 1 Floating & Misting to expose the aggregate ...does that make the pool feel like Sand Paper once its fully dried when you stand on it? I ask bc I am Disabled and I need to have Pool Re done & I Cant have the Shiny Painted Look like we always see on Most Vidoes on here BC as i said Im disabled & only have 1 Leg, So its imperative I keep that SAND PAPER FEEL Under my Foot for stability when i can get in the Pool! sadly I have been trying to find some contractors South of Tampa to give me estimates for the Pool, but BC everyone is Moving to FL & Construction business is almost Blank check type BS right now with The 15k + New Houses being Built here just in 2023 is UNREAL & trying to find some one who will do it with out robbing you at this Point is a joke.......and the Original FL Contractors are getting Pushed out of Business with all these BIG construction Companies from Out of state coming in & buying up Months worth of supplies & driving up costs 3x the normal Price!! I am probably going to have to wait until Jan when the recession really hits ( thought that in 2008 too but we Never got hit here ) to have mine done & maybe prices will come back to 2020 Prices finally ....but i still need to know about finish bc I am on a Disabled S S budget and PRICE is important !

Hello! This finish will definitely have more traction than a traditional plaster-perfect combination of traction but no so rough as to damage/hurt your feet. Best of luck with finding an honest contractor in your area! 🙏
