They finished the plaster yesterday and we are filling the pool today!!!! Super happy to be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! Its been going since 6pm last night but granted I only have one hose going.

We used Atlantic grey for the stone and its not sealed. Its natural and varies but most of it is pretty light even when wet so still a contrast when both stone and grout are wet. I just wanted a shade or two lighter so it “blends in” more. Noone asked beforehand......

Thank you @kimkats. No change in grout yet, it does get lighter when not wet but that wouldnt be the case with my family using it. I am waiting on grout samples still and pb says they can fix it, just wondering if its worth it at this point

Adding some more progress photos of the equipment pad and tile work. @HermanTX I will try and take some better photos of the equipment pad set up

They said it has a special valve and its not a bubbler

I haven’t provided an update in a while, things have been slow due to weather and material delays. Plumbing and electrical is all done and they (finally) showed up yesterday to start the tile. The placement looked great this morning but then I went to look at the finished product this afternoon...

Thank you

Any feedback on these pool cleaners? I was set on getting the M600 from Marina Pool and Spa but its not in stock and they are having delays with getting it in. They do have the S400 but I dont see any reviews on this one. Must be new? I just want to make sure it makes it up to the waterline...

The PB said that the pvc on the sunshelf is for additional returns. We opted to not have an umbrella holder in the pool. It seems more of a hassle than something useful. Gunite was completed this week and they added the light niches and pvc for those! They also sprayed something for...

The PB is moving quickly, finished rebar and plumbing stub out. They added the main drain, skimmers and what I am guessing are the returns? Not sure what the pvc pipes on the sunshelf are for. We saw some rain today, small puddles but nothing collapsed. Hoping for gunite next week so we dont...

Thank you. I confirmed with the PB that skimmers will be individually plumbed and adding an actuator and jandy valve to control the sheer descent

I started a thread a couple months back comparing PBs. We signed a contract, have all of the permits and today was dig day! We did run into some issues, i.e a gas line running outside of the easement that thankfully the gas company relocated while we waited for permits. It was pretty difficult...

That’s great to hear, I believe both PB are using Jandy never lube valves. All and all it sounds like a reliable brand. We are leaning towards the PB that uses Hayward equipment and that was our hesitation.

Thank you for taking a look, is there anything else that stands out in the proposals? We are leaning towards the PB that uses Hayward equipment.

@Poolmichael we are going through the process now ourselves in the Spring/Tomball, TX area and were able to find PBs that were good with adding a SWCG. We also had talked to a few that wouldn't design a SWCG for different reasons and we didn't consider them further. Feel free to PM me.
