    He keeps trying to tell us he can't even schedule a master plumber-that he can refer us to someone. I hate it when people "blow smoke"

    I do have the Taylor salt Test-we went with the TruClear® Salt Chlorinator So once he connects it-because its installed but not currently connected, then I can begin adding the salt and testing myself? Thanks for the help

    Merged threads - TFP mod So if you followed our build we started July 6 and finished the end of August. For the past 6 weeks the plumber the pool builder recommended has told us he'll be out "tomorrow" to plumb the gas line. Well not sure of his definition of tomorrow, but... A couple of...

    Question for the experts-we were swimming last night. We've stayed off of the plaster-not walking on it, etc. But the PB said in the grotto to really splash the water for additional circulation etc. So I sat on the bench and splashed the rocks, the area, but when I got out of the pool my hubby...

    Thank you. I bought the hair nets that were recommended but the pool guys said to wait at least a week before using them. So far, two of our three border collies have been on the tanning ledge but not for more than 2 minutes. Since there's still a lot of debris in the yard, we've limited all of...

    I'm afraid if I let the kids in, I'd never get them out. Plus with falling leaves and no circulation, I wanted to wait. They plan to turn on equipment first thing tomorrow morning, start balancing the water, said we can be swimming by Saturday morning. WooHOO

    The pool guys started filling the pool yesterday-it looks like it will be full by tonight. So, fingers crossed we get the equipment on and start the balancing this weekend. 50+ days from dig to fill

    My 11 year old is waiting for the pool to be filled and has only asked 1,000 times "can I swim yet?"

    View from the deck towards the house we need to pressure wash our retaining walls in the future. I am planning to remove the bushes on the left side at some point because they block some of the pool view from the patio Plaster is scheduled for tomorrow. :love:

    Well they cleaned up the gunite today and the installer called and said he'd be here tomorrow to do the tile markers on the steps...but they went to pick up our plaster and the black pebbles for the mix aren't in. He's hoping they'll be in tomorrow. Crossing fingers & paws.

    PB said he always waits to install handrail until after deck is poured because he feels like its better. He said our entire deck is bonded and so it won't be an issue. Any thoughts? They plan to come out today and prep the gunite, perform clean-up and schedule plaster for tomorrow.

    You are an awesome resource-thank you very much. Not sure why they didn't leave a space for the handrail as it has always been in our contract. Rock riverbed is a great idea. When they clean up the yard, I'll ask them to cut down the willow tree. Thank you for the help

    Deck is done, today we are watering it. The electrical is complete. Waiting on a gas plumber to call us back to get gas line for the heater run. This week should be clean up, plaster prep, plaster and acid wash. They didn't leave a spot for the handrail in the deck, so guessing that will be done...

    We do and are so thankful they have been able to do what they promised. If the weather had cooperated we would have been done already. I really spent a lot of time on this site and local sites researching to find the right builder and feel like we chose the right guy.

    Electricians returned today and did 95% of the work, lights were installed and fingers crossed the Jandy nicheless lights work with no issues-LED was on our contract but PB upgraded us at no charge-I suspect he couldn't get LED lights. Soil injection guys injected the deck area yesterday and...

    Plumbing done and pool equipment, waiting in gas line to be run and heater. They covered the trenches so quickly yesterday, I didn't get any photos of the pipes run. We have two dump trucks of dirt in the yard waiting for them to use to prepare for decking. Our bid has stamped concrete, but I am...
