Glad you stuck to your guns and made them tear it ALL out. I'm wondering if this has ever happened before with this company? So who's fault is it and who's eating the bill for it? PB or plaster co?

Thanks for the support. I'm just beyond frustrated right now. Ha, I'd like to see the other pool too. And yes, WetEdge told me the base plaster should be a blue tint on the Indigo Blue. I wanted them to plaster Saturday but they said they need two consecutive days, one to plaster and one to acid wash. So they have me scheduled for new plaster Monday.

Plaster company is eating it. It was their fault. Apparently a secretary made the mistake switching the two pools.

Why not ask the Plaster Company whether you can go an see it?
Can't hurt to ask.
You can congratulate them (I'm sure that will get you a long way into checking out their pool).
If you don't like it.....
You give yourself something none of us ever got, a look at the final product.
Worth thinking about since you have until Monday.

Ah, but it is the Plaster Company who is on the hook.
They are out in your yard now aren't they?

YOU are being unreasonable???????????? REALLY?????????? THEY put the WRONG, LOWER GRADE plaster in. So what if you want it ALL out thinking towards the future. Good for YOU, the person that has to live with it after YOU pay for it!!
So what I see you saying is that they ONLY cut out the stuff by the insets-lights and such? They were going to leave all the rest of the wrong plaster? NOPE and adult word NO!
Oh you are being "punished" by him not answering your calls LOL! It may be for the best. I guess he does not want to say something he cannot take back.
HIGS! I am VERY proud of you for sticking to your guns AND thinking towards the future!

Their workers are in the yard now. None of them speak English.

You summed that up nicely. And yep, they wanted to leave most of the wrong plaster in the pool and plaster over it.

SO did they do a good job in getting it all out AND not doing any damage to the gunite? Do you have a time frame for the REplaster tomorrow?

I'd say they did a fair job getting it out. And they did screw up the gunnite on some of the seating ledges. Gunnite 12" thick in those areas so nothing structural. I'm sure they'll fill it in with plaster. Supposedly new plaster goes in tomorrow.
I'm sure folks will be double checking the bags this time. Can't wait to see the plaster. The sample looks beautiful!!!

It's gonna be a beautiful pool. Glad you are getting the plaster fixed and that you didn't just settle.
Just curious why are your fence panels flipped every other one? Is that for wind or something? Never seen it that way here in my part of Texas.

99taws6, they sometimes do this so neither neighbor can say they got the ugly side of the fence. (They both get it!).
Omg that's horrible but makes sense. I don't like all the lack of privacy though at each spot they are flipped. Looks like you have gaps at each panel. I'd have to pay for a second round of pickets.
That's only done when the cost of the fence is split with the neighbor. In our case, the neighbor paid for his side to also be the "good" side.
That's called "good neighbor fencing." All the builders in Houston do this now. Not really any gap because of the posts.
So, new plaster going in today. They're pretty much done.
It looks MUCH better. Of course that's because it's the right plaster this time. Sorry for killing everyone with the massively large pictures on the first page of this thread. It was my first attempt at linking to pics here from my dropbox account. I've exported the few above to a more reasonable size. The blue cement base is REALLY blue. The aggregate still doesn't look as closely spaced as the wetedge sample but I'm going to reserve judgement until they acid wash tomorrow. They tell me that will remove more of the cement and expose more of the aggregate. I really like the color though. Blue glass, purple glass, white stones, and mother of pearl.
