Thanks! It is a blue quartz plaster finish.

Did they use any rebar or mesh in the decking?

did the pour the deck right over the beam without any bondbreaker?

I saw a few pieces of rebar under the decking that goes around the pool. The pad I did not see but I do not believe so.

I'm not gonna lie when I say I'm not completely sure what you mean by right over the beam without any bondbreaker.

It looked as though all they did was pout the concrete inside the form without anything underneath. Again, I could completely be missing the question, so I apologize.

Yeah something to separate the deck and pool, so they move independently vertically and horizontally . Looks as if they tied them together, could crack if there's any movement.

Nice looking pool regardless!

So, the half wall and gate that was torn down to get equipment to the back yard is now back up! Along with the self closing springs installed on the exterior gates. Pool tile completed as well today. Monday brings the decking and pad finish.

Aerator will be going there. I'm not sure why there is a spicket end still sticking out. I imagine they will remove it after the plaster dries.

I was wondering that too...looks kind of painful. That aside...the pool is looking great! Very nice tile.

Great to see the progress man! Looking good, and I like the tile too. That spigot has me curious too... I've never seen that before. Tell us more about it? I guess it is stubbed out far enough so that you can remove or change it out? I know...dumb question, but cant tell from here.

 

[gfxguru]

I know the line the spigot is on is much smaller in diameter than the other plumbing lines.

I'm pretty sure that this piece (aerator) will be threaded in there as the details of the pool are completed. It is marked on the final updated plans to be in that location.

 

[Patrick_B]

Ahhh, ok. Was just curious, but I am pretty ignorant of contruction particulars.

Is that your fill line? Did you get an autofill?

If that is the same thing as an auto leveler, yes.

Just two more quick pics today. Decking/coping paint/finish has been applied.

Just waiting on call to see what's next on the schedule. I'd have to guess plaster as that seems to be all that's missing now.
