Deck and step forms are in.
Step lights and outlet conduits ran.
Equipment pad formed, and waiting for concrete to be poured.
What is everyone thought on Marble (not polished )for the pool deck? @kimkats

Grab a bigger piece of it and take it home. Put it on the ground and wet it down.................how slippery is it? Go from there! It sure would be pretty!!!

Thanks guys, they are bringing us a couple samples on monday to leave with us. We will test them out a couple different ways.
Concrete is being poured today!

Where is your equipment pad going to be located? The piping seems a bit close to the wall.
I would think accessing the valve on the manifold would be a bit challenging if there are filter, pumps and heaters in front of them. Also, you would need to work around the equipment to modify the piping. This is how I have mostly seen it, piping and valves coming up in front of the pad.
Are you going to have a pad poured or will they be using the pre-made pad? If the pad is on top of all that piping you would need to remove the equipments and pad to get to that piping.
I maybe over thinking your layout but I like to have all my piping easily accessible for the future.

Thanks Kathy, the tile and pebble color took us the longest to nail down.Pretty tile...matches your house well
More tiles going up!
Not sure how i feel about the silver band around the spa, up close it is nice, but from far it looks.....off.

There absolutely is a better way. That is bad, they should be removing 1x1 tiles in a diagonal pattern and interlocking them as they make the turn. These tiles shouldn't have to be cut on a diagonal like that. I had an issue where my spa was too wide, worked with the tile guy to split my mixed pattern tiles and add a row of 1x2 tiles in the middle, it looks pretty seamless, no cuts like this, even on a mixed pattern tile.
I worry some times about people who don't actually care about what they do in their jobs. I would stop them tomorrow if they are not done, do not let them grout, and get someone involved who can make the decision to take that tile out and relay it without 45 degree cuts.

Here is one I found on Google and sketched on... the basic gist is that they cut the mesh in the back in a zig-zag pattern so that they can make a seamless 90 degree turn. I saw others in my search that look like yours, so maybe they have a valid reason, but it would have never crossed my mind that they couldn't just make the turn by interlocking the sheets. Maybe others have different experiences.
I would think that if things are just a fuzz off along the way, they could cheat a few grout lines to match everything up.
