Congratulations on the start of your build! Looks like it’s goong to be a great pool and fill your space nicely.
Thank you for becoming a bronze TFP supporter! Awesome job on your signature and first build pics! Subscribed!
That's a beautiful setting for a pool! I love the tropical corner! Lush grass too with privacy fence! Your massive tanning shelf will see a lot of use I bet!

finished dig today and it accidentally turned out bigger than planned! oops! oh well we still have plenty of yard. Steel should go in this afternoon, I'll post later.
g,
Going to a bigger cell is never a problem...
If your pool is going to be over 20K, I would for sure go with the IC60..
Thanks,

SWEET but make sure to get that in writing (text or email counts). Better safe than sorry!

The city came by and gave a green tag on rebar and stub out! WOOHOO! Gunite here we come! Does all of this look kosher TFP? we will be stepping up to 2.5" plumbing from here on out. Thanks!!
GREEN is good! SWEET! 
So what are the two big round things on the side of the pool? They look like main drains but you have those on the bottom where they should be.

Kim,
I had to ask too. He said it's a dedicated suction for the water feature pump. It's low suction/high discharge volume, so I don't think being trapped against them would be an issue. Anyone feel differently?
Since they are duels it should be safe BUT I really don't like the fact someone could stand or sit right in front of them with the depth there. I have seen a lot of builds and this is the first time I have seen something like that. I am going to ask a couple of builders I know for their thoughts. My "mom" gut is going off so need to check it to make sure.

Those pots are the same ones that some builders use for the main drains. They will get drain covers installed on them and since they are split there is no risk of entrapment.
It is very common to use wall ports for water features like you have. Looks good

thanks! Glad to hear that it is okay. I know the waterfall pumps don't pull near as hard as circulation pumps, but it still made me a little nervous like Kim said.

Brian THANKS! Greg you can take what he says to the bank.
I wonder if you can use these kinds of covers to help "hide" them?
