So day 1 of tile and coping is in the books. I was surprised how much they got completed today and they are expecting to finish coping and start on the waterfall tomorrow. So far the quality of work has been great. Here's some pics!

Looking really good. So they started this morning? Are they putting your deck in next?
Yep should have all stone work done by Thursday and deck will begin on Friday. Electrical and gas will get hooked up next week and if we're lucky we can plaster late next week and fill by the weekend. At least that's the "perfect" scenario. Since there will be a couple inspections we may get pushed into the following week. But overall I'm happy with the progress.

I love your choice of tile and coping colors! I'm going to make a note of them for when we do our build. Gorgeous!
Got the tile and coping finished today and they'll be starting on the waterfall tomorrow. Here's a couple pics my wife sent me today

+1 on the tile - will you snap more pictures of the tile up against the waterfall when it's finished. I like this tile choice a lot. Might have to have our PB pull a sample.
More progress! Stone crew will finish the waterfall tomorrow then we'll be starting on decking Monday. More pics tomorrow.

Your tile and coping look like they were made for each other. And I love the stacked stone on your spillway. You're going to have some great water movement between the waterfall and the spillway.
Looking forward to the deck going in!

Thanks suz. I can't wait for the decking. We're going with the exposed aggregate to keep up with the natural stone theme. Next big choice is plaster. Right now we're leaning towards stonescapes aqua blue mini pebble but the Caribbean blue is also peaking my interest. My wife is over the dark pebble woohoo!

SO different and both so pretty! I say the lighter one just because you ARE in TX so hot, hot ,hot. It also goes with your "natural" colors more.

This is beautiful! Are you planning on sealing all that stone before introducing the salt? I want salt, my husband wants stone, so we're trying to figure it all out. Did your pool builder warn you and make you sign a waiver? That's what I'm getting from all the people I'm interviewing...
