MUCH better pattern...........that is how that kind is supposed to be laid out. It is harder but oh so much better! Good job sharing the pattern with them and them following it!!!
Good on the sand!

Question ... The pavers between deck drain and house are in with polymetric sand. How picky do I need to be with pavers being perfectly even? Not sure if you can see in the video, but there are a few places where I can see a paver is slightly higher than the paver next to it.
What I would do is put on a pair of flips flops and slide it along those areas. Is the edge raised enough to "trip" you by "catching" the front of the flip? Do you understand what I mean? Saying that...........that spot by the post I could tell was a little lower even before you took the camera down. They can remove and add some sand where needed BUT make sure they put the p sand back in to lock them back into place.

I'm really enjoying seeing your build come together. Please keep the pics and videos coming. I'm supposed to break ground in mid-may and this is so nice to be able to give me thoughts and ideas. Your pool is going to be AWESOME!

That difference in height between two consecutive paver surfaces is known as lippage. There should be industry standards on what is allowable. This site (Installation) shows it to be 1/8" (near the bottom, field quality control, section D)
Ultimately, if you are worried about it being a trip hazard, bring it up to the contractor. They should be able to make adjustments, as Kim noted, to reduce it.

Hello and yes, they did the pressure test before our last inspection and my PM confirmed it is still under pressure.
Ran into what I believe is my first issue with the build ... the paver sub cut the pavers under our patio enclosure and they did not cover our fans / doors.
I let my PM know and he confirmed they should have cut the pavers away from the house and never cut under the enclosure. I told him I am concerned that the fans could be damaged with the dust in the motors and I will probably need the 3 panel doors removed to get the dust that is now trapped below the sliders cleaned out. One of the pictures is taken from inside the house and you can see the dust made its way in via the track

Thank you! This site has been a HUGE help for me, cannot believe how many pool experts take their time to offer their feedback.
What did the PB have to say about cleaning it up? I wonder if they can take the fan down and clean out the motor? That is a very pretty fan! I bet the light looks neat when it is turned on.

Hi Kim ... The plan is to get the paver crew to complete the work, clean up and then we will ask for additional cleaning.What did the PB have to say about cleaning it up?

Looks great! Pretty fast build, good luck with that paver dust mess.
Pavers are almost finished ... screen enclosure should begin in the next 2-3 days

That looks amazing! Now you're making me wish I had done pavers around mine!
