Updated pictures, still worried about the steps being poured after the shell was done, they did not rebar them into the shell as far as I can tell.
I worried too the first time I saw/heard of them doing it on another pool. It turned out fine and is a common practice.
I LOVE the snoopavisor! So cute! How is he handling all of the people and work?

He loves watching and sniffing around, I think his attitude will change once it has water, you say the word "bath" and he starts shaking.
I like the contrast between coping and decking. In that last pic, what is going in the space with no decking?

It is going to be a planting bed,I don't have a lot of area for plants, because most of the grass area is drain field, though they are putting in my sable palm on Monday. Do you have plaster yet? Can't wait to see it with the tile.
I ordered my TF-100 kit today as they say plastering might happen by the end of next week. They still need to grout the tile on my raised bond beam, run electric and install the equipment. They installed my 3 LED lighted sheers from cmp. I am so excited that I may get a longer swim season since the temps have been way above normal, though I am going to hold off on landscape plants a little longer just to be sure. My PB has been awesome to work with and is very involved with every aspect. He says I ask too many questions 
well a lot more than the average consumer who just wants to know when it will be done.
Pollen has started covering everything, will this be an issue when plastering, I am going with stonescapes mini pebble in aqua white.

Getting Plastered tomorrow!!! Nervous but excited. Hope my neighbors don't get mad that the crew will be here early. How noisy is it? Here are pictures from tonight.
I would go out and buy some extra special doughnuts. You know the ones with sprinkles on them! YUMMMMMM Pass them out to the neighbors. They will not mind the noise so much 
Well it would work for me!! LOL
Make sure to check they have the correct color and any extras you asked for.

Hopefully they take their time on prep work so they don't start the mixer until at least 8.

I wish I had the money to add some bling in the plaster like glass beads, I love the Puerto Rico blend. My PB said the reason it is so expensive is the glass beads tear up the plastering equipment faster, especially the hoses. I am going with Stonescapes Mini pebble in aqua white. It was a hard choice, I know the blue pigment will fade in a couple of years but hoping it will still give me a pretty blue. Trying to avoid a green tint. Thanks for all the encouragement through the build!

Well Kim I checked the bag this morning for the right color and it said aqua blue instead of aqua white. I about had a heart attack. They explained that aqua white as the same pigment as aqua blue but without the black and gold stones mixed in. They even called the NPT rep so they could explain it to me. Whew, cause I don't know if my neighbors could handle another noisy early morning.
OH MY! I bet you did almost have a heart attack! I am glad they were able to answer your concerns and even had back up for you! Good job!

It finished filling early Sunday morning, they still don't have the equipment up and running which is frustrating, at least it is cold out so hopefully algae won't start growing.
LOVE the color! That is so pretty!
When do they plan on coming out to start up the equipment?
