City inspector just left. He came a day early and signed us off. In theory we could have shot gunite today (a full 2 days ahead of schedule). But the PB just told me there isn't a way to move up the gunite. Oh well. Still moving fast. Thanks for all the help and advise y'all!

I am really impressed by your schedule. Mine is more like "Do a day's worth of work and then wait a month". Great job by your PB in scheduling things! Congrats on your pool.

Thank you! Sorry to hear that about your PB. I was starting to get frustrated with my PB and how long they were taking with the drawings, permits, and everything, but now that we've started it is going really well. Fingers crossed it stays this way. Still have a long ways to go.
What is the story with abolone shells added to the plaster? I'm getting wetedge Antigua satin matrix. What is the fuss about shells?
They are like little sparkles added to the plaster. The sun hits them and they just shine and add a little something to the overall look of the pool.

You're getting exactly what we are and we are adding a bag. Making sure they apply by hand to steps and tanning ledge specifically.
They add a really nice sparkle

My finish is PebbleSheen - so I am not sure of the comparison to WetEdge - but in my pool the shells are actually smoother than the pebble sheen. They are so pretty and so worth it - everyone gets in and then has to reach down and "feel" the sparkle. Definitely not rougher than my pebble - but I am not sure what Wet Edge feels like. LOVE MINE!!!

Thanks Amanda! That's beautiful. I'll definitely show her.
These are the 2 options we're looking at.
The one without the glass beads is Satin Matrix Midnight Sea, sparkly one is Prism Matrix Deep Sea Blue. We're leaning towards the Prism Matrix.
