OHHH....I love that trush.! Can't just imagine floating in that.! Luke...that is amazing, but I would be to scared that I would fall over the edge.

I'm not an expert, but we have renovated a pool and made 1 big mistake. We had similar coping that formed a big hob all the way around (unlike yours). We leveled it out with paving (and then coated the pebblecrete with an epoxy sandstone-look product). The mistake? Part of the yard sloped down to the pool. Every time it rained.....all the sand, dirt and debris from down the side of my house and around the pool went straight into the pool. If we had our time over- we'd leave a small hob around the side of the pool where the land sloped down. Yours looks like it is on the downside of your house with some garden. The hob might be there for a reason.....as we learned.

Hi Two's Company - Builder says in reference to your picture: "What you are showing is something that could potentially be done. However this is bringing in another work scope item (Hardwood) into your project. A transition piece would need to be made or special ordered (I would assume) and then sanded, stained and finished to match your existing floors. All while redoing floor tiles at the same time." Is this true that it's such a big job? Or is this a piece he can purchase? Also - if we decide to go with a white marble piece - can he follow your drawing for that? I would want to make SURE the marble can be laid flush with the tile and not stick up further. Would there be something on the edge of the tile, before the marble, to make sure there was a small edge? Or would the tile go right up until the marble? Thank you!

Hi Chris, The Jolly edge will look the best if you are using Porcelain Tiles. If your Mitred Jolly edges are cut and grouted properly you should not have a problem with chipping. Your tiler can cut all the mitres on the factory edge and set their saw so it preserves a small amount of that edge so to avoiding a sharp point (which otherwise is vulnerable to chipping). If you can't find a tiler with a diamond saw machine like a Hasqvarna with sliding overhead arm, which can do your Mitre cuts, then you could try marking out all your cuts and take these tiles to a stone mason (granite fabricator) near you and ask them to do these cuts for you. A stonemason experienced in fabricating large sheet Porcelain tops such as Neolith or Quantum+6 would also be a good place to start as these will know how to treat your tiles. Hope this is of help.
