New build starting in Sugar Land TX - super excited!
- Thread starter goober71
- Start date
Tile and coping went on yesterday. Travertine coping, blue tile at waterline and a beige/blue stone tile on the raised beam. Looks cool!
The plumbers and electrician are supposed to show up next to complete the equipment connections, but looks like that will happen after the long weekend! :-(

That looks GREAT! They did nice job on the install and you did a nice job on the picks.
Thanks. Yes, the tile installers did a good job and they were fast! It was all done in a day. Hopefully things won't slow down too much now for the long weekend.
Plumbing was completed today! The equipment all looks good! Different valve adjustments to run returns, scupper, bubblers or combinations.
Only question I have is......there seem to be a bunch of pipes crossing over each other in one place (see the pic attached). Is that ok? PB said they will be covered with the concrete deck, so it'll be fine.
Thanks.

I can't help you with the pipe question. Sorry.
The beige/blue stone tile is the perfect touch!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, that! Such a perfect tie in of the waterline tile and coping. I can't wait to see to see the water falling on the wall. What is your plaster/finish color?

Thanks! Yes, we love that tile as well....the variations are JUST RIGHT!
We're getting the 60% quartz plaster. The PB said it should be a deeper blue than just the regular plaster and they can warranty it as well, because of the quartz. Hopefully it will all look good together.

I know NOTHING about plumping so take what I am going to say with a BLOCK of salt LOL
I would think about having something under the other side of the pipes going over just to make sure they were supported while the concrete is poured. How much pressure can the pipe take before it gives or cracks?

Yes, I checked with the PB. He said they will pour sand in to level anything and support the concrete. Then they will pour the concrete decking. So I guess the sand will sit underneath the pipes and prevent any movement. Does that seem right?
Sounds good to me. HE is the one holding the warranty so you would hope he would not do anything to cause him extra work.

So, the electricians FINALLY showed up on Saturday after a LOOOOONG delay. They got the conduit laid and all the wiring connected, except for the electrical panel connections. Probably will come back for that today.
The deck layout is scheduled for this week, so hopefully they will get it poured and completed as well!

Hi Twinkiesmommy. I just reviewed your post as well. Your pool looks great! Hopefully we're both swimming in the next couple of weeks!
Decking guy came by yesterday for measurements. They are supposed to put in the deck forms today!

Woot woot! Getting rid of the dirt mess is awesome! I was so happy when they poured the deck. Still a lot of dirt but it helps a ton! We just got notified plaster is Thursday. [emoji1319]

Deck was poured yesterday. Looks like a pool now, not just a hole in the ground!!
Deck spray and final clean is scheduled for next week. Very exciting!

Looking forward to the first cannonball in the deep end!!
