Thanks y'all! Yes it really is coming together! It's amazing how it just plods along for so long and then all of a sudden things start happening again! I can hopefully get a pic of the tile in the sun tomorrow. It was interesting to watch them work. Yesterday the applied something to the gunite, which I'm guessing was waterproofing, and then today they used a white mortar to set the tile. They also pulled off one section (I had seen it with tile and then it wasn't there, but you could see the intentions!) and redid it. I will also take pics of the circular pieces and the caps. I think they did good work.
Our PB told us the tilers will show us grout samples for the glass tile so I am guessing that might happen on Monday. The bond beam wall will also have the silver travertine but it will be smooth. Those pieces have been ordered and will be here next week I believe. I don't think the step markers have been done yet either.
Again sorry for the delay in pics. Our first grandchild, a girl, is due in April, so this baby shower kinda took over the day.
