    Is it CREEPY to have a security camera pointed at the pool area?

    For those of you who do have a camera set up any advice for a good system? Don't need the zoom feature but feel having it recorded and available on the iPhone would be good. Any way to set it up without running a bunch of wires and set up? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spotters

    Philboy- these are 2x2 inch small tiles- nothing elaborate. Appreciate the feedback on negotiating a good deal but it's more likely them making up margins on things they did not factor in or already had to fix- but they have also been pretty fair about this so I'm not too worried about that...

    Spotters

    So to give everyone an update. I asked the PB if there was anyway we can help us out with a "deal" as we are already over budget and he said no because they base the price on existing tile anyway. I asked him what the cost is for and he said labour and he is charged per cut. So at that point I...

    Spotters

    Thanks- that is what I am attempting. It was never going down a legal path. More me seeing what a fair price is. I am seeing if there is anything he can do to help us out. If not we will probably just get less spotters or forgo that extra cost. Just seemed a bit extortionate based on the...

    Spotters

    Not paying is not really an option as spotters were not in the contract. So like it or not I will probably have to pay or not have them- or figure something else out. Really at the end of the day I wanted a fair price and don't feel like I am getting that. At least now I know what I'm getting...

    Spotters

    Frustrating to say the least, just seems like an insult on a 60k build when there have already been added costs. Not looking for it to be free but thought they may have helped me out a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Just the decorative little squares of tile that you place on the steps prior to plaster. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Worth noting we probably don't need 30 that is just how many we have cut Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spotters

    Curious to see how much people have paid for spotters. Our stonemason had extra tile when he installed out tile and asked if we wanted spotters cut. We have about 30 spotters precut from our tile install. Pool builder saw them and is now wanting us to pay over $700 for the install. The pool...

    The frustrating thing is that they initially installed it correctly but added the extra pump and just squeezed everything closer together rather than increase the slab size. Here is a picture from before Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Even if I had to pay for a few new valves- is it worth it or is it now just a fix it if something goes wrong situation? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So I brought up the 2 90's to my pool builder and he seemed to think it was ok, however I made a big deal about it and he said he can change it if needed but will delay things. How big of a deal is this? Is there any easy fix/workaround to this issue that anyone could see? Would two 45's work...
