I think it looks that way until they acid wash. OMG you are almost done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE continue to post pics - I want to see EVERYTHING
Look at mine. It was exactly the same.
Presently you still have a film of plaster hiding the pebbles.
Next day they buff it with an abrasive wheel and wash it down with muriatic acid.
This knocks the rough bits off and reveals the pebble.
Then they will set the pool filling.

Oh my goodness, I'm so jealous. It's beautiful! The grey in the color is what keeps the water color from having a green tint. Hopefully that's what you wanted.
When you go to Ozdiver's pool build, make sure to also look at his finished photos of shady Blue Granite and sunny Blue Granite - posts #s 23 and 39 - gorgeous!
Ozdiver: The second picture on your thread of the plaster install is a much brighter blue than the first picture. Is that the acid wash the next day? They look so different - both beautiful! Suz.

Yes, the 1st plaster install picture is plaster going on, sunny day.
the 2nd is acid washing the following day, cloudy day.
The photo saturation is also noticeably different. Both sets of guys had same color company shirts on.

Ok, I went and looked and ozdivers pool looks awesome. Your right it does look the same when they're not finished. I'm too excited should be putting water in tomorrow. Then the last step will be finishing the deck.

Hm what happened to my pool details ?? you can see them in my initial post then they dissappeared
They do not show up when some people are on their phone for some reason ... they always do for me though.

Hey, now that you have a pool! YAY! How about adding your pool info to your signature as shown here, Pool School - Read This BEFORE You Post
are they going to put diverters on the (I assume) return lines I see under the sheer and to the right? Or do those return pipes just shoot straight into the pool as is?
I have added all the specs to my signature but I'm not sure why it doesnt put them when I use my phone any idea how to fix that?
The depth is 3.5-5 ft

Good job on the color choice. I'm thinking I should have gone with something similar for my pool.
