PB's measurements were within 20 sq ft of mine.

Came home yesterday to find the first wall had been extended and tapered down. Definitely doesn't have quite the curve I think it would have had if they had done it from the get go, but it's better.

After far too long, today the remediation of the first wall is taking place. The subcontractor's measurement of stamped concrete was far from accurate when compared to my measurements and the PB coming to re-measure. Is this kind of BS commonplace?

Still no seating wall, but got a demand for payment for the wall. Informed PB accountant that it wasn't built yet. Then I got a bill for $8,250 for them going over on SF of stamped concrete TWO months after the concrete was applied. Good times. Breaking my contract back out to go over the...

I'll look into that. Not sure how well that does in the cold up here.

Found some bald-faced hornets (250 or so) while power-washing and they stung the bejeezus out of me. Called in a PRO to take them out the next day. Storms rolled in the next couple days so hoping to stain deck this weekend. Still no wall activity. Lots of weeds growing in all my dirt now...

Learned a ton about pool chemistry. Electrician came and says it was a faulty motor in the pump. PB came and replaced it. Been doing a little landscaping away from the pool while awaiting wall build. Moving on to power-washing and re-staining the deck while I wait.

No wall crew today, but had Pool School today and went over everything. Electrician needs to come back and fix a switch that keeps shorting things out.

Still waiting on the PB. Allegedly they will be back on Weds.

Still no seating wall or remediation on the first wall, but the fence guys came today. I hear those critters can jump 8' fences so my 5' fence isn't going to stop them in all liklihood: Here are some pics with a tape measure next to the Ashlar Slate pattern as promised. Top rectangle next...

Updated concrete pics. Sealing the pool deck: This is later that night when it was mostly dry (maybe 6-7 hours after application): This is two days later, so this is the color we got with the clear coat (so yes it is darker but not too much). I will get out there with a tape measure for...

This might take a while........ Much better!!!!

Fencing requirements may come into play with the partial buried pool that would not with the full AG. Usually your Town's website will have the info you need on it.

Great turnaround!

Many thanks. It's an Ashlar Slate pattern except around the perimeter of the pool. I can throw a tape measure down next to some squares and snap a picture if that's helpful. I'm sure there are probably different sized patterns out there. The images you see there are the unsealed/unstained...
