A little more progress: Sod... check. Re: the rest of the landscaping I checked with Armstrongs as mentioned above and it seemed very promising. But the wanted me to pay first. Then they would e-mail me about scheduling. And they said it could take 2-3 weeks to get me on the calendar and...

Did the steel issue get resolved? What was the problem? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Our deck was poured last week. We're very happy with it. Sprinklers have started. Sod this week. So close to the end. Here are some of the latest photos: All that's left is choosing patio furniture and choosing the plants for landscaping. Re: patio furniture - does any of it last more...

Progress: The guys came back on Friday and did great work on all the fixes. The water spout seemed to be an easy fix. I wasn't here but it was done by the time my husband came home for lunch. And there was no damage to the slate. He didn't comment on whether it was his fault or the company...

More pics on my build thread but thought I would finish this up. We did go with Quartzscapes. The color we went with was a custom mix that was closest to Anvil. We wanted dark and we got it. Close-up after acid wash and polish Filling Full In use Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Took a few pics of cover clearing spa with ease: Not dragging at all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Updates seem good. Mason returned and says it shouldn't be too hard to fix. He will chisel out the spout from behind, pull it out and rotate it. He thinks it will create no damage to the ledger stone and no damage to coping. He was puzzled by how this happened as he remembers that each one was...

We went with a spa just barely above water level and so far (short so far: we got water last week) we love it. We have an autocover as well and it never hits the spa coming across. It looks beautiful when the filter is running and water spills gently from spa to pool. We considered a raised...

One-mailed them a pic over the weekend (right after we discovered the issue) and I just heard back. They fwd'd the pic to the guy who installed it and are going to discuss options for fixing it. We'll see what they come up with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That might work. Trouble is they either have to weld while swimming or hanging over the ledge... Not sure if any of these are feasible... I DO NOT want to drain the pool to fix this... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kim - maybe. I tried to take pictures inside the wrong one and one of the right ones. Wrong - welding on left. Opening for water on right. Right - welding on top. Opening on the bottom. The opening is less noticeable in the correct one because there is a small amount of water pooling...

The later. The channel spout has a water flow panel inside that is welded shut on 3/4 of the spout and then only open on the bottom. It controls the flow of water so it flows smoothly. To truly fix the spout would have to be rotated. Hopefully it is an easier fix then I'm imagining... But I...

Well today was a day. Start-up guy came and couldn't get filters on. Turned out to be an electrical problem. Something about not enough power going to the sub-panel in the garage that powers the pool panel. Luckily I have the cell number of our electrician. A few texts and calls later we had...

It's full! Last night around 8pm (28 hours of filling... that's gonna hurt) it reached waterline. Which for us is about a half inch below the finished spa. There is a lot of floating debris. I was netting some this am. Never noticed how much our neighbors oak tree dropped junk into our yard...
