Day 8 update.
Gas line has been run from the existing meter. Will have to get counterpoint (gas provider) to upgrade our meter once we begin filling the pool with water. Working out a side deal with the plumber to bury an addition gas line, block valve and regulator for me that will be for a fire pit I intend on building this fall.
Tile is a bit more than 90% complete at this stage. They got almost all of the travertine set yesterday, and today is some detail work, grouting, and setting the spillway travertine in place. It looks REALLY good. These guys do clean work from my perspective. It was hot as hades yesterday and they were non stop. 105+ index all week long, with minimal cloud cover. Kept the cooler stocked with water, but ran out of gatorade so I'll grab some more today. I'm trying to sneak some travertine from the crew (90% sure I paid for every sq ft wether they use it or not) for a fire pit. Their crew lead said he'd leave anything he could for me, today. Lots of potential amongst the scraps too, if I can decide how to use 1-1.5" strips 12" long. Possibly build the top out of it, and use some builder grade split face on the sides to match the pool real well. I've got some of the 1x1 pieces as well, that I can toss in as accents.
Electrical should start tomorrow, then I think next round of inspections are scheduled for first thing Friday morning.
It seems ridiculously fast paced from my perspective. Having a heart to heart with our project manager this afternoon. He completely ignored my messages about the inlet piping for the pump not being anywhere close to what the manufacturer recommendations were. When I mentioned the tile looked good, and asked for a heads up on what the next phases were, I just got "electrical in a day, inspections after. thx". I may be thinking too much, but I'm not really cool with that. Working shift work means I have to make sure I can accommodate what they need, not to mention its ME spending MY money for MY pool, so I'm certainly entitled to updates and notice when people will be at MY house while my kids are home and all that good stuff... I digress.
TFTest kit is en route, and should be here Friday. I've reached out to the maytronics dealer recommended, but haven't heard back yet. May give them a call if an email reply doesn't happen sooner than later. Want to figure out which robot they'll recommend for our set up so I can lock that in my budget.
Fun side note: When I got home from the night shift, the house was 80, and found our main compressor locked up. Not bad for a 2 year old piece of equipment. Made for a sweaty morning's sleep. A/C guy is a close friend so he'll be here this afternoon to get me sorted out.
