Plumbing started today. They were not able to finish so will be coming back tomorrow. They had to manually dig the massive holes for the piping. Amazing how much pipes there are. Equipment was delivered as well.

Those poor guys! That was a lot of digging to do! Is there any pipe left in your town??? 
It looks good though!

My comment when I saw all the pipe leading to my pad was that it looked like a "river of pipe". Yours looks more like a "sea of pipe"! That doesn't look very deep. If you are planning a pool fence, be careful when installing it!

Finalized our pool design after meeting with 8 builders and getting 7 quotes. We negotiated and selected the builder that was in the middle of the range and probably has the best reputation. This website has been amazing in helping me make an informed decision with design considerations and builder selection. Here are pics of the layout, rendering and selections.
Some Specs:
Pebblesheen Aqua Blue
Pentair equipment
Rolled-edge spa
Travertine coping
Split-face Travertine on the back raised walls
Spray-deck for existing and new concrete decking
NOT saltwater
Cartridge filter
still debating between Taylor K-2006 or TF-100
Do you happen to have close up pictures or know what the stacked stone color/brand is and the spray deck color? Love what you chose!
Hi tifftx - the split face travertine tile is branded Keystone Tile model KSSF712-6 Noce Panel Split Face 7x12. So the color is Noce. The name of the spray deck color was "sandstone" but this could vary depending on the company installing it. Your pool builder should have samples that you can pick from for the spray deck. They also said you could go pick out a paint sample from a paintstore and they could match it
After a big storm this past Tuesday (Aug 8) that caused some flooding, things dried out and cleared up. Tiling is taking 4 full days, but the tilers are doing a meticulous and awesome job.
Pic after the storm. I used a pump the contractors had to pump out the water
Grouting and trim tile should be completed on Monday
Rolled edge spa tiling is looking great:

I like the spa tile it looks great. We went rounded to and it's great on the neck.
That rain made a mess. We still don't have sod and our back yard was a mud pit. Only good thing it did was help us decide on drain locations.

Ours picks are very similar. We picked travertine coping, very close color for decking and very close to water line tile. Your pool is looking good
Thanks. We debated the decking and upgrading to travertine was well worth it. We get full sun in the afternoon and it's surprisingly cool. When is plaster?

Since I can't see your signature line I have no idea if you have the awesome TF-100 test kit. The TF-100 will clear that water right up

Those pipes are really shallow mine are like 3 feet deep. I assume that is code but seems not deep enough.
This is similar to what we chose! Tiramisu split face ledgestone! I can't wait to see ours finally come together! Picking everything out was rather overwhelming!!! LOL
Yours is coming along nicely!!!! Can't wait to see your finished product
I completely forgot the spray deck color I chose..... will have to get all of that info! haha.
Beautiful design!! I look forward to seeing the end result!! I though my pool was big at 37x15!! You have a lot of usable space!!
Your pipes are probably that deep so it's below the frost line. Here, nothing freezes... we are more likely to catch on fire due to the heat. haha. I am guessing around here, it's just deep enough to keep from being damaged.
