Gunite turned out great!! Is your pool company doing the spray coating on the deck? If not my mom's ex husband does a great job and he's doing ours at a discounted rate vs what the pool company was gonna charge.
Construction underway...finally - Katy, Tx

What all does he do? Can you message me some prices and options? We are not having our deck done as part of the pool package but are planning to do something with it.
2 very productive days with plumbing and the start of tile/coping/walls. Should wrap up all things tile/coping tomorrow. Happy with the way it’s all coming together!

Looks great! I am curious about your drainage plan between the patio and the pool, it looks like the pool will be lower than the patio in the pics. We are also building close to an existing patio and that has been a major concern for us.
The dirt piled on the patio make it look off in the pics, but the patio will be level with the pool coping. When the crew came for the dig, they shot the grade and made sure that everything would be at the same level after gunite and coping. I was actually really impressed with how many times they measured every little part, and always had one person confirm the other persons measurements.
It’s been a few weeks of slow progress with weather and a tropical storm getting in the way, but we should be wrapping up this week. Cleanup and Pebble is scheduled for Tue/Wed and spray decking Thursday or Friday!
Really nice and coming together! I bet you'll be glad to get your back yard to yourself... . With a pool!
Plaster day!!! Loving the Blue Surf so far and fully understanding now why it’s referred to as ‘Blue Smurf’! 
Double pumped that my test kit arrived so I’m officially ready for fill day!
