I love those pools that seem as if they end in an ocean - they have a carefully concealed edge.

I think Sammy Hagar has one like that in his beach house in Mexico and someone else had a pool that was high up in the hills above LA and overlooked the city.

A wierd pool I saw on another TV program is in a 2 story penthouse on the top floor with a glass bottom. So basically you can look up into the pool from the lower floor - it was owned by a Brazilian m(b)illionaire

I would call that small, but COOL AS HELL!!!!! Nice set up!!!!!

How far do you live from Beech Mountain?

**DrStranglove** · #49 08-22-2004, 05:25 PM

About 30 miles or 45 min due to the cool mt roads.... Even in the 348!!!!

I learned to ski there and we once had a house on the Mt.

Thanks. It is small, could have made it twice as big for 20% more money, but that's the space I had available because of the lot size and the 60 year old trees I wanted to save.

After Monterey, we zipped down to Hearst Castle. Indoor and outdoor pools. Note the diving platform on the indoor pool. Real gold in the tiles.

William Randolph Hearst (of Hearst Publishing) built it as a small bungalow on his parents land, but got carried away. When he died, he said it was "half-finished".

Very cool. Im heading up in September to my condo there. It is gorgeous and growing so fast. There are now more places to eat than just the Hardees!

**LetsJet** · #59 08-24-2004, 04:28 PM

A new low.............

Ok we got water!!!

The pool has water in it. First filling was last Friday and it took about six hours at about 300 gal a minuet!!! Lots of leaves too but you are correct, when on they go off the edge nicely!! The spa is not done yet but I expect it to open before thanksgiving.

BTW, does anyone know anyone that makes custom spa covers?

Here are some cool pics!!!
My room is the one with the three long windows on the left. I gave myself near 900 ft sq. But I have not moved into it yet...

The “near done spa” at the base of the 16 ft negitive edge. Spa is 14 by 9 on the inside.
