Looking good! What finish color did you choose? Are those separate filters for the spa and pool?
What an elaborate build. Looks like it will be nothing short of breathtaking. Gorgeous rock work. Cant wait to see more.
thanks for all of the nice comments. they did the acid wash this morning and then filled the pool this afternoon.

the finish is beadcrete's shadow contour. i think the color is tahoe blue with 70% glass beads and 30% pebbles.

Looks great - congrats!
What is that second light looking fixture that the step is cut around?

PLEASE post more pics of the whole layout. This is too good not be able to see it all!
thanks again for all of the nice replies. i can't believe it is almost labor day and i still don't have a working pool. they are supposed to bury the propane tank tomorrow and hook up the heater. i did jump in the pool yesterday but it was quite cold, water temp low 70's. i hope that they can finish up the final work in the next two weeks. i want to put in a pergola and firepit at the deep end of the pool but that will have to wait until next year. this project has gone way over budget. i will probably have to wait until spring to finish the landscaping as well.
the deep conrner of the spa is a deep soaking well. it comes up almost to my shoulders and my wife's chin. it is really nice to stand in there and let the jets hit you. i can't wait to heat up the spa and use it after work.

the PB wasn't happy with how the water was flowing over the vanishing edge so he is replacing the blue stone on the left side.

Man I wish I had Thot of a soaking well that's genius. Sounds like a good pool builder too if he is nitpicking for you on stuff.
I hope you are, to put a fine point on it, stinking rich, coz that propane is mighty expensive and that heater will gobble it like candy.

Looking back at the spa pics, aren't those jets a lil low? I mean I like a butt massage as much as the next guy, but all of em that low?
yeah lershac i am definately worried about the heating bill for the pool. because i like a warm pool. i guess we will have to see if i have to spend the kids college fund or not.
our pool builder he has been pretty good about making sure everything turns out as he envisioned. i think this is his favorite pool build this year as he has been very passionate about it. i think that he re-did the jet placement in the spa about three times until he got it just how he wanted it. the jets are at different levels on the three sides. one side is at butt level, one side is at lower back level, and one side is at midback level. one side also has a jet at calf level.
carlscan, the second fixture is an underwater speaker. we put two of them in the pool. they are not hooked up yet so i can't tell you how they sound. hopefully the system will be up this weekend.

what brand is the underwater speaker? Once it is hooked up will be curious if you can hear it out of the water or just while you are swimming or underwater
csmith, the brand is lubell. hoping to have them hooked up by this weekend, but irene has knocked out our power. i will let you know.
