long day, still moving. Passed all bar one inspection , so we are all good.

To answer some questions, yes there is a TV going over the fridge that can be watched from the breakfast bar.
No wine fridge , but there will be a custom wine rack .
and yes the pantry is a walk in room, just the entry door to do, again not standard.

Pool is just awaiting pebble tec and water next Tuesday.
Roll down hurricane shutter is installed (sorry Sarge) and pool cage with viewing window over the lake is done.

Top two pics are from inside with the 24 x 10 slider and the pool and lake

the one below has the shutter half way up and shows the amount of sun it screens.

Nice view! No dock for a boat or the lake is just for drainage?

Very Nice! I really like how the pool cage does not have vertical supports. It really enhances the view. Does the screen stay tight without the supports?

Curious, what body of water is that?

Looks Great!

Congrats and ouch! I'm told, end of month, uggh.

We thought about doing the large viewing window like that, but was concerned the dogs would possibly barge through it to bark at something. In hindsight, I think that was a mistake...

The large viewing windows also known as clear view cages are very nice. However, I had one installed on my new pool and was told the maximum span was 40' so that's what I bought. After it was up I noticed a deflection in the beam of about 1 1/2" and they didn't even have the screen in yet. I knew the screen tension would make it worse so I talked to my cage guy about it and he said that yes, the screen would make it worse and that it was normal for them to deflect that much. If I left it that way it would drive me nuts so I had them add a mid span support so now I have two 20' openings. Since then I noticed others as I cruise the canals that have a noticeable deflection including Pete's pictured above. I'm still very happy with mine but I wish someone would have warned me. Maybe most people don't care or don't see it. Still a nice option to add and would recommend it. Mark

Mark if you had talked to Colin @ Fulton he would have talked you out of it as he did me. We were so looking forward to it until he mentioned the cons. Quite honestly we barely notice the horizontal supports looking at the canal. I do see many new pools going up with them though.
