New Build in North Texas (Frisco)

Okay here are my thoughts on your returns.
-I would see about adding one by the bench/table area on the back wall.......that are will be a "dead spot" if you do not
-the one to the right of the skimmer could push stuff away from the skimmer. I would think about removing it.
-the one to the left of the skimmer could be moved closer to the shelf to help clean it off
-the one on the right wall on the bench I would move all the way to the far end so it can push anything on the bench off.

SWEET! Will you be able to be there? This is one of the BIG times just in case there are any questions or concerns. Better YOU have it done YOUR way instead of how they think it should be done.

Yea, I've arranged to work from home tomorrow. I've read on here that this is one of the steps you should be there for if you can.
It is TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!! Are they there yet????????? LOL
LOL. No, not yet. But I'm up early waiting for them!
Look! It is a real pool now!
Did they have any questions/suggestions/concerns?
That looks great!
Now you get to start bonding with it aka watering it. When you get tired of watering by hand you can use a sprinkler LOL

No, not really. There was a little confusion on the height of the little table in the curved bench. But once we got that worked out it was smooth sailing.
Now I just have to remember to keep it watered down.
sprinkler on a timer????? I like easy to "remember" LOL
Well I am glad you were there for that and there was nothing else! SWEET!
Okay now is the time start getting you ready for plaster......Here is the link to how we say to start plaster. You should run it by your PB as he is the one that holds the warranty card:
Pool School - Start-up New Plaster
Please note the 30 days no swimming depends on the start up method. Ask your PB when you can swim.

Thanks for all of the links. I will be pouring over them.
I don't know what test kit they are giving me. But based on what I've learned on TFP, I plan on ordering the TF-100 from testkits.net. And then use whatever my PB gives me just for their pool school.
Good plan on the good test kit. You can go ahead and order it and play with it.....test the fill water so you can have on hand what you will need to balance right from the start.
Not a whole lot going on at the moment. I have been watering the pool twice a day for about a week now (per instructions). Guys are coming and going work on the rough-in of the plumbing and electric. I am expecting the tile and stone work to begin soon.
I'd have thought it to be easier to remove that sod at your equipment pad location BEFORE they formed it, but everyone has their own way. Just be aware and make sure it is removed before the pour. A little stone base wouldn't be out of line either . . .
Ok, finally some visible progress today. The tile guys were here bright and early. They just finished putting the waterline tile around the edge. I have to say I'm not 100% thrilled with my tile selection. It seems a little dingy to me. I picked a dark blue with brown streaks in it. But I think it will look better when the flagstone coping is in.
