I was thinking there is a chance we will have a pool by 4th of July but super told me plaster is a 2 day process and then 5 days before can swim. But if I have a pool before the summer is over I will be so happy!!

A little progress this week. Final grade was done and clean up. Also plaster prep was done too so pool is ready for plaster. Any tips on what to look for at the prep stage? I read the plaster part but may have missed the prep part. I took a video and pictures just not sure if all looks right or...

@wireform Great! Thanks so much!!

@wireform What is the solution? Just vinegar? Or are you saying the glove method is the way to do it because you are not pouring the vinegar on the marble, just sliding your hand over and it is safe that way? Have you tested this out on marble by chance? This is the best idea yet!

No real updates. Nothing has happened in 24 days so yelled at pool builder. They responded late yesterday that they sent my job to the plaster company as a "priority " to be cleaned out this week and to escavation company for final grade. So will be interesting if anything happens. My fence does...

@Nikilyn did you say you have marble coping? I now have weeds growing and not quite sure how to treat. I know where the regular pavers are I can treat with multiple options but I am worried about the weeds coming through where the marble coping is, basically the line where the coping ends and...

Gosh I missed your fill! Looks awesome! So you made your daughter's birthday deadline? We are bummed missing father's day and probably 4th of July.

I sent the builder a message that I would pay once electrical and plaster is done. Super said plaster cost is broken into all the payments so if that is the case then I want it complete before next check. No response yet but sure hope they start plaster before the Florida afternoon rain starts...

@OrlandoBull Ok, thanks! So I will just make sure they complete the electrical then. Shoot I just ordered furniture as I had no clue there is a second coat of paint. I might have a whole set sitting in my living room then :-).

@OrlandoBull Ok, thank you. That does make me feel better. I think I will make sure electrical is complete before handing in that payment. The super just told me that he reached out to plaster people at first of week to clean out pool and prep for plaster. No clue when that will be done though...

I have a question about my contract. I noticed they purposely left out when plaster is done. The super just hit me up for our 4th payment. We have hit the 6 month mark and not finished. I responded that I am not comfortable doing the 4th payment (25%) when multiple things are not complete. 1...

@Nikilyn Thanks! I am not worried about them throwing. They know better. More worried of a lawn mower but I think that would be an issue on the other end, but maybe I can buy bigger rocks, not sure. I had a friends front door shatter when lawn crew cad a rock hit with mower, so that is what I...

So true!! But I will warn them too!!

@kimkats Yes, fence will go straight across and block people looking into my pool from the street and driveway. I had to build my pool on the side of my house. The deck drain sends the water to the other end of the deck, opposite side. No big rain yet, but I could hose it to see where water on...

@wireform Ok, good to know. I am not sure what I can do before inspection is complete. I think I will need to ask the pool builder to do it and I imagine they will want to edit the permit. Do you think it is possible to do after the fence instal? I think the fence will be right at a foot out so...

So I have a question. We are adding a white PVC fence across our driveway to my neighbors fence. I guess we had another foot that we could have put one more row of pavers. Prior I didn't think we would have the room and were ok with a foot and a half behind the sheer decent. But now that I can...

@kimkats for a moment I thought the super took them. But nope! Lesson learned the hard way!

Thank you @Nikilyn I am curious too. The tiles are more on the green and aqua side but I think the aqua white will balance everything. @kimkats Will do! I will take some blue tape and mark. I can see the sand grout not filled in some spots so they need to do that. One super annoying thing that...
