My pool remodel is done and we put water in on Friday so I should be really happy, but I'm not. I have had several issues during the build and feel that if I wasn't walking the job daily most of these issues would not have been dealt with.
Remaining issues:
1. Drains are crooked
2. "rope anchors" are also crooked - I didn't know they were going in and I would have said no if someone had asked.
The WetEdge installers left at 10:30 and by 10:45 I was on the phone with my project manager telling him about the crooked drains and rope anchors. I'm sure it was too late by that time to fix them, but by 3:30 he got back to me and said "The construction manager says you won't see the issues when the pool is full of water". With fresh pebble installed we had no choice but to move forward and fill the pool. Now that its full its really hard to tell the rope anchors are crooked, but the drains are still pretty obvious. What makes me most upset is that I told the PB the trench they cut in the bottom the pool for the drains was crooked. They said it wasn't a big deal but they'd ensure the plumbed drains would be correct. The plumber put the pipes in the middle of the trench so it was still crooked. They then told me they'd adjust the rings for the drain covers when they did the pebble coating. I've told them over and over and over and they still got it wrong.
I'm really mad at them and feel they should compensate me for the mistake. Unfortunately this wasn't like the Baja shelf the screwed up, the bubblers they put in too low or the light that was pointing up at a 30 degree angle. All of those things were noticed early and corrected. The only options for correcting this are to cut out the affected areas and patch which I fear will be very noticeable (the PB agrees) or to take out the pebble finish and start over which is overkill and nobody wants to pay for that).
In terms of compensation I feel they should wipe out the final 2k I owe them and give me something else (pool robot, pool solar, Ferrari). I'm not sure what's even reasonable after all, its is only the drains I've been bugging them about for 3 months ...
