Yeah. Now it's just a waiting game for the pool to cure before they pour the decking. PB said 10 days.
You have a really nice pool plan and deck! Don't you love having the gunite?! It's so much easier to visualize the project.
I like your choices on stone and tile. The coping and stonework help tie it all together.
I'm very curious about some of the details I see on the gunite stage. Some people here probably know what's going on. I'm new and your plans are brief in details. This makes it fun, because I get to be surprised with each stage of your build.
I'm looking forward to seeing more!

New plan. Adding a gas fire pit. Extending the concrete where the black line is and the pit is the orange circle. Is it common to go over the budget you set for yourself? [emoji12]
Yes it IS very common! In fact I do not know of ANY build-house,pool, addon, etc that has NOT gone over LOL
Do you already have a gas line ran? That is going to cost a few dimes for sure!
When you say firepit............what kind? stone, steel, etc. We will be glad to help you pick one out!

"Is it common to go over the budget you set for yourself?"
That's hilarious, or as others have said similarly.... Now I have to clean off my rootbeer from my computer screen!!!
I was so very clever and told PB's, hardscapers, landscapers a fake budget. But silently in my mind I added about 15K cushion for all those extras. That didn't work - at all!!! I blew the silent cushion out of the water!!!
Good luck with your budget, fake or otherwise - especially with Kim around!!!!

There's a gas line sticking out of the back of my house already. And it'll be stone.
stone? What kind of stone? Will you use glass instead of lave rock?????
LOL at Suz!

It's just basic. Looks like a detached spa. All I heard was concrete, a big tube, fire rings, glass, stone around it.
It sounds good even by the male version of the description - nouns, lucky if an adjective is included!!! Just razzin' you a little.... No offense intended.
I will enjoy seeing a picture of the glass. That always grabs my attention!

Decking is scheduled for Monday, so they have 5 days to run pipes for fire pit and deck jets they forgot about. Also running electrical for future intellibrite landscape lights.
Lots of digging still to come then! The decking going in will be wonderful to help keep the mess and dirt down!

Picked out Midnight Blue Quartz today. No work was done. They're going to have a busy weekend.
PB confused us with a different build. Concrete is next Thursday. We're slowing down. Was hoping to be done by NFL kickoff. Still have a chance but it's not looking good.
I have a sad for you. Darn PB not keeping better track of who and where.
All formed up for concrete in the morning. They still need to finish plumbing in the sheer descent and they forgot to tee the gas line to the other side for future BBQ. So they'll have an early morning before the concrete gets here at 7am.
Not sure where they are 'T'ing you gas, but make sure it isn't under your deck.
I am assuming it is PEX.
On my build, due to the cost of the fittings (and cheapness of the PEX) they ran separate runs to my pit, grill and heater.
