I find this build and it stops here??? I wanna see it how it is now please! LOVE the working together to help each other!
It's not done yet, waiting on plaster. I'll update in a week or so once it is done!
In that case I will share a set of links I put together for new builds!
The first set is all about what to do and ask about to get a great plaster job. The second set is all about how to care for your pool after you get the plaster.
Plaster links:
Ten Guidelines for Quality Pool Plaster Best one of all
All Plaster Finishes Should Last 20 Years
Not All Color Pigments are Good for Pools How to pick a good color for plaster.

Now is also a good time to ask what test kit your PB will be providing so we can fill in any holes.

I literally cannot accept that that is the pool price as I am in shock. Ours is way way smaller and almost double the cost. 
I think you're referring to the base price, which has no bearing on the price for this. It was well over 2x the cost and closer to 3x that was in the picture on page #1. Don't feel too bad if that's what you saw.I literally cannot accept that that is the pool price as I am in shock. Ours is way way smaller and almost double the cost.
Would you mind sharing what items drove the cost up from base, and which ones were the most significant? I'm just curious as we're looking to start getting quotes, so keen to understand more about whether it's "nice to haves" that drive up cost, or required items that typically don't factor into the initial base price.
