Feel free to look at my pics of my build for finish color option. Puerto Rico blend for the win.

Did Hartshorn put your screen enclosure up?

I have two of those on my shelf which is a 9" water depth. I would suggest that they are plumbed in a loop to avoid one shooting higher than the other. In order for me to get even decent size plumes i have to have the 1/2" eye ball and turn the pool returns off. Although this is due to the fact...

I personally would make the sunshelf a sunshelf from one side to the other. Maybe move the steps to the left corner when looking at the first pic. You will still have a swim lane and a much bigger shelf. You will be amazed at how much space is unusable after you add two chairs or loungers.

Once you get the new sod put down you wont even recognize the back yard! And it will make you forget about all that mud youve been dealing with!

Have 2.5" plumbing from your main drain, skimmers, and spa drains to the pump. I had 2.5" from the main drains to the end of the pool which was then reduced to 2". Dont do it. You will have way more options for bigger pumps in the future with 2.5" piping and your pump will not have to work as...

That electrical work is money!!!!!!!!

Holy progress. Keep posting!

Do your ledge loungers float at all, even when filled with water? Or are they firmly planted to the shelf. We have the tropitone knock offs and just the water moving from people jumping in the pool causes them to shift on the shelf if nobody is sitting in it

Looks normal. Wait until they acid wash it. The blotchyness is common.

Keep brushing it. We have the mini pebble/touch of glass/puerto rico blend finish. It is not rough but it is not smooth. Quartz will be smoother but after spending hours in our pool nobody has bloody or messed up feet.

You will do OK. You can get a sample of your fill water at any time by opening a hose spigot. Do yourself a favor and download the pool math app and subscribe. It basically tells you exactly what you need to do. Id be lost without it.

The more glass the better. I believe we paid 1800 to add 50/50 touch of glass cobalt blue as well as puerto rico blue blend and i could not be happier. I would have honestly paid for more glass if i had to do it again. You will love your color.

It would be on your builder to address the issues if it gets red tagged. In hillsborough the safety inspection had to be checked off before the pool finishers would even apply the plaster. The only thing i see is if it fails, the builder will likely stick it on you to add the door alarms. Most...

I dont think you will pass your safety inspection without the window and door alarms in place, including the sliding glass door.
