    Brand new white plaster

    Thanks for the feedback. I don't think it looks terrible....but I guess I was expecting the plaster to be a little more consistent looking. I also don't mind the slight gray hue, because it gives our water a turquoise look, which we really like with our tile and coping. The water has a nice...

    Brand new white plaster

    Is this normal for brand new white plaster? It’s very splotchy and streaky. Is this how it’s going to stay? Will it get worse, better?

    PB finally called me back and said they are definitely coming today. They've got a lot of startups today, but we're "on the list". Impatiently waiting. Since they haven't added any chemicals, would it be safe to let the kids jump in and swim for a short while? I know we need to be patient...

    I don't know what kind of test kit they are giving us. I already ordered the TFP test kit (TF 100), and it will be here tomorrow.

    They have done absolutely nothing yet. They finished the plaster Wednesday around 8:30 PM and the water was done filling just over 24 hours later (so last night around 9-10). They haven't brought us the brush yet, they haven't even been out to check on it. I know how important brushing is, so...

    It’s full and the lights work! Can’t wait until we can actually get in and enjoy it. We’re ready to get our arm workouts in when we start brushing ?

    They came to clean up the shell today and we are scheduled for plaster tomorrow! Hallelujah! Can you remind me where I need to order the testing kit from? And for plain white plaster, how many days do you brush for on average? I know we brush multiple times a day until we don’t see any more...

    My husband has been very frustrated regarding a lot of little things that I didn't think were a big deal, but now I'M getting really frustrated too! Is it common practice for pool builders to not let you know the schedule of events. So far, they have not communicated with us about when people...

    Waiting on Plastering

    Ugh, I feel ya. :cry: We've been waiting 40+ days! The rain is Dallas is killing us. We have have this "almost done" pool. All we can do is gaze at it, dreaming of the day it has water to swim in (and not rain water!!!).

    We have had quite a bit of rain, but since they've done the gunite, it's only rained 7 days (out of 41 days) My husband sent a very long email, detailing some things he is unhappy about. It's been mostly good in my opinion, other than the delays. I'm not sure what's holding up the plaster...

    Well, it’s been 41 days since they poured the gunite and we still don’t have plaster. They’ve done the tile, coping, and poured the deck, which all looks great. I don’t think we were prepared for this to be such a long process. I mean, I knew it could easily take 12 weeks, but it’s been 17 weeks...
