Planning the pool and spa

While getting another round of bids to refurbish and move the pool, I've decided to draw the outline to help visualize positioning and size of the final product. Because of where we are adding on to the house, we are forced to move the pool a bit to abide by Palm Springs city codes and be within allowable distance from the house.
So this is the diagram:
Moving the pool 6ft West

Here is the outline of the new pool, showing the added spa on the west side of the lot. Note that the pool equipment will be moved behind the grapefruit tree, out of sight:

This is the West side of the lot, showing the new pool outline with the <large> spa.

Standing on the east side of the yard, in the new master bedroom (bottom left line on the image below shows the line of the new master), we can see where the pool line will be once it is moved 6ft west, leaving a comfortable 10ft between the master bedroom and the edge of the pool:

Linda's new pool once moved over 6ft to the West

Next we need to figure out whether we want to do regular plaster or mini pebble on the pool bottom and whether we do salt water versus traditional chlorinated water... stay tuned.
