Intro and Pool Plan Pics

I agree.

They said that the tile I picked has a huge variation. I love the colors it's the placement that is bugging me. I was told the tile guys focus on quality not the color they are putting on. I get it

 

[travisr100]

Is it ceramic tile or natural stone?

 

[amandahein3]

It's a ceramic tile

 

[Marlahoutex]

So they are going to charge you extra to fix it?? What does your PB say? Is this the quality of work that he wants to be associated with?

 

[Beens]

It would seem to me they should be paying attention to quality *and* the color.

Got the tile crew to switch 7 out!! Little Gatorade and the answer is yes!! No charge

I'm going to go the other way and say that although they should be able to make it look right by themselves, unless the idea that you wanted it a certain way was communicated (preferably in writing) it's tough to argue too hard with them. I also believe that a PB should tell you when a crew such as this is coming so you can choose to be there or not to be sure all goes as you wish. Or you require that the PB is there in your behalf. I'd be tempted to push them hard to redo it on their dime but I also might be willing to pay to have it made the way you want it because you have to live with it not them.

This also probably gives you the feeling that you should be onsite for deck day and plaster day too. If so, I'd agree.

This is awesome! I've been looking for your build thread Amanda. Very nice and we are right about the same stage on our pools right now. My family and I are about to take a 7 day vacation to the cooler temps of Colorado so your likely to pass me up but that's fine. I'll still watch from the Rockies! [emoji3]

 

[amandahein3]

Oh Colorado sounds amazing right now. In fact my husband and oldest son are on the plane heading back from Colorado right now.

Ok here is a pic of the raised wall. Will they fill this in?

 

[spool]

Love that stone, what is it called?

 

[amandahein3]

Found out they won't fill it. It's a stacked stone wall. When I look at individual areas like this it looks sloppy all together looked great.

It's stacked Oklahoma stone. Same as my coping.

 

[Jannylee53]

It is very pretty in that picture where you can see the entire thing. It's a great look. I would have to research it as I don't know much about what it should look like close up. One thing I figured out during this process is to go with your gut feeling. If you think something is sloppy, tell the PB. It's your money. It's sometimes difficult to know if it's supposed to be that way or not. Keep us posted.

So long as they are "glued" together and there is no way for them to fall down I think it is good. It looks WONDERFUL as a complete picture!
