Heavy rains have set us behind schedule for weeks.... Baby steps, but we will take what we can get. 
Making progress. Wall, fire pit and coping almost done. Saving the spa for last.

Are those two square white tiles going across the ends of the spillover permanent of holding place for something else?
lol! No, they will be ground down tomorrow to match the curve. the rest is all glass 1x1 glass tile, same as the waterline.

I'm not sure, probably about 4'? Do you think it's not done correctly? I've been a wreck over the spa since day one.

It looks wider than 4 ft, at least the outside part of the circumference.
I think it looks great. I'm also doing a rolled edge spa with a spillway, currently set at 4' but I'm considering making it 5' wide.
I haven't seen that way of using the coping tile on the sides like you mentioned above that will be ground down. I typically see the spa surround tile used there on the sides or the Spillway tile, in your case the glass 1x1 on the sides.
I'm looking forward to see how it turns out since I'm maybe 1 month behind you. Got infloor plumbing done today and hoping if rain stays out, I'll have gunite next week.

That looks really good. Nice tile selection too. I'm looking forward to seeing how the spillway tile looks since I'll be doing something similar.
Thank you! We’ll have to wait a few days, they ran out of tile
On a positive note, they should be cleaning up the yard and prepping for decking tomorrow. Please post pics of what you end up going!

Yes will do on my thread. I'm not sure how to post a link of it here.

Spa looking real nice. Did they smooth the gunite down before they installed the glass tiles on the rolled edge and inside of the spillway?
Thank you. Yes they smoothed everywhere they tiled. They really worked hard on the rolled beam and spillway (in and out), hopefully it flows evenly.
This thread makes me depressed. Your dig was two months after mine and at this point your build is a head of mine in half the time.
This is great thanks for sharing!! I Live over in Wylie and thing of getting a pool this size.. What was your approximate cost if you do not mind me asking?
I’m sorry for all you are going through. I’ve been following your build and am grateful for the way ours has been handled so far. Tomorrow may be a different story. The clean up crew took all of our remaining dirt off sight last week, came back today to rough grade and didn’t have enough fill. Somebody is going to have to bring more dirt. I’m anticipating a mini battle. We’ve had a few, this hasn’t been all roses.
Comparable to the dozen other quotes we got. We chose the owner who communicated the best and felt confident he would do well by us.
