Just to wrap this thread up (we still have some trim pieces to put on the autocover lid but very minor stuff), I thought I would share the "final" cost, timeline, and some evening pictures of Jacque working.

The total doesn't include the pool floor labor cost which is still up in the air. I also didn't include some landscaping we did, new furniture we bought and so on. We also had some additional irrigation run so that price is higher than if we had paid for
just fixing what we "broke" by putting the pool in.

So we were almost exactly five months from ordering to completion. We had 2-3 weeks in April where we didn't really do much and then a fair amount time was spent waiting for the pool floor to get finished (~6 weeks dealing with all that).
Thanks to everybody who gave advice or just lurked for pictures!
