Good quality cannot necessarily be bought at any price....looks great, even if it is taking long. Today I get rid of all the mud in my back yard. Talk about a long time!

Sounds like a good problem to me.
Never complain about someone doing his job the right way. Most guys are in a such a rush that they screw things up until you just give up and accept shoddy work. Once you have water you will be mighty thankful for the amazing work when you see it every time you look at it for the next however many years.
Grab a beer and relax.

No question that the work is very good and we are very proud of it. The gentleman finished the coping today, getting the last six pieces installed in a shade under nine hours. Overall, we ended up with an 18% overage in coping linear feet.
What's the old saying? "Good, fast and cheap. Pick two."
All in all, we ended with just one - good - but I guess that's the best one of the three!

One is all pool builders offer. You're lucky you got the good one.
I got fast. But only on a per job basis not overall project.

With my near-complete pool build, I think I managed to get GOOD and FAST. But, dang....it sure wasn't cheap.
The quality of work is very nice - and it is the thing that would be most important to me (thank God, fast isn't) - I am anxiously awaiting the fire wall though -Karen

Stonework is finished and looks really good. Next step is to seal all the stone and install the screen enclosure.
I hope nobody misunderstood my comment. I agree that it's better for them to take their time and get it right the first time. It does look fantastic!

Electricians are finished, pending the delivery of the custom fireplace insert. Landscaping team was here today to run new irrigation. (That's two Sundays in a row with crews working. I'm blessed with great subs!) I got in on the act this weekend as well with new perimeter landscaping and privacy plants.
The screen enclosure team starts tomorrow at 7a. I really can't wait to get the enclosure up. Once they finish, we move to pebble install!

When the subs are good - it makes all the difference in the world. I know its getting exciting as plaster day gets closer. I forgot what plaster color you were going with ??? - Karen
Thanks, Karen. Our color is a custom pebble blend called Majestic Isle. We're pretty excited to get to the next steps!
Well the screen team didn't make it out until afternoon, so they only got the super gutter and roofline framing finished. I'm told they will be finished tomorrow, though. Limestone sealant, granite spillover, and weep fill are tomorrow also. Sounds like an ideal day to play hookey and watch the show, but no such luck!
Safety inspection is Thursday morning (if everyone finishes on time tomorrow) and then we're moving straight to pebble!! With a little luck, we'll have water on Friday!! :splash:
For the "been there, done that" crowd, how long does it take to fill 14,000 or so gallons from a water hose?

It recently took me just under a day and a half to fill my 18,500 gallon pool.

34 hours to fill ~ 17,000 gallons with one hose
19,000 gallons in under 16 hours with two hoses. Had to get up at 3:00 am and turn one off. Started filling about 2:00 pm day before. Pool was full around 5:00am spa took about maybe 30 minutes.
Two hoses took 32 hours to fill about 21,000 gallons.
You have some serious water pressure cluck!
