Kim is that the rules. Just asking.
Anyhow, today the owner emailed he was coming out. I got home early afternoon no workers. They wrapped up all the stuff to cover it and I heard a rumor there bringing out the chisel tomorrow and gunite again friday. I don't know 0 responses on requests I asked with plan of attack etc. I feel like they want to fix it now and owner is upset it wasn't addressed earlier. This MAY turnout good will see.

I would LOVE to see a picture of your plan and what was done so far. I think someone could learn from it in the future.
The owner?? Maybe things are looking up. I hope he comes when you are home so you can talk to him!

I lost 8 inches from my pool. Isn't it reasonable to ask for 1500 upgrade?

Not good to lose ANY size on pool or spa 
Are you making them redo the whole thing? It does not look like everyone is on the same page about what they are building.
As to what is fair? It is NOT fair they have messed up so bad!

Such a nice start, really sucks you're going through this, OP.
Question, are you going to be able to put up a wood privacy fence, or do you have to keep the iron one?

Parrish-
I don't think I have the option too. However the sides i had 40 bottle brush trees planted so it should be really thick by the end of summer.
Kim-
The fired the super. I would have been underwater in the spa not to mention they were missing a light there. Were on the same page now. I didn't realize the back edge was too low luckily the owner caught it.

So what does the page say? Tear out and start over? Lower it so you can sit with your head above water?
Too bad about the super BUT you tried TWO different times to get it fixed BEFORE the gunite was shot so..........

The other thing I learned from this site take pictures. Before and After Jack Hammer I took pictures then before and after this gunite work I took pictures.
They have gunite all over my 10x10 Cedar already stained posts. I just sent them the jack hammer pictures before gunite and then post gunite. Doubtful this is fixable.
Im contemplating bringing in a 3rd party company as a consultant to check this pool

Measured the bench at the far end of the pool. Its over a foot short. I let them know there coming backout with gunite.
Yikes! I am so sorry you are having to deal with all of these problems! I hope you have no more gaffs from your PB!
Yesterday a scream session when new super didnt want to measure. The travertine is so pitted for coping. Cant wait to post it.
Oh man... this is not good. Do not settle for anything that is not up to your standards.
He did not want to measure? "Oh it looks fine to me" kind of thing? Nope, sorry fella you are WRONG!
Not fun at all I am sure. Keep your cool and notes with names, dates, times, etc.

+1 on what Kim said. Keep very detailed careful notes and lots of pictures. You still have a large majority of the money, right??
Likely to only leverage you have over these contractors is money. I would not pay anyone until everything is done correctly and according to plan. Make sure you get lien releases for all subcontractors before paying the general.
Last week they worked one day. They may work this wed but maybe not starting back till next Wed. We gunited before Thanksgiving. Its totally awful.
Apparently tile wasn't ordered then the wrong tile, now the right one ordered. I provided the sku a few times with picture.
