He said it just snaps in. I like to confirm what I'm told. 
There's a been a few cases where my confirmation has taught the "experts" something.

I all with you checking or double checking to make sure it is done the correct way the FIRST time. Better to ask than wish you had..................
LOVE the pavers! NICE!

I love the contrast between the pavers and the liner....
I was thinking the same thing!
Thanks! It wasn't something we considers to be honest. But it worked out. What we did plan is the tan accents in the pavers. Our deck is Black and Tan with lighted posts.
They made the turn today to the backside of the pool. Looking good. It's a very complicated pattern. I found two parts of it where they deviated though. Affects about 50% of what's done so far, but I don't know if I'll ask them to fix it. There's so many pieces, you would hardly notice. I kept getting lost myself, and hard to go get the design plan and stand right over it to see what was going on.
If you say there is a mistake I will have to take your word on it LOL. It looks GREAT to me! With all that is going on with the design I do not think I would worry about it. If you did not have the paper would be even know it was there?

The pavers are always great to have. Don't sweat the design variation. It's all good.
Lol. For example three different size pavers are suppose to go A-B-C. They did half the patio that way and then for some reason the other half is C-B-A. And next to the 12x12s it was supposed to be a 6x12. They did that in the beginning and then switched to a a 6x9 and 6x3.
Funny. I think I have the solution. What they did doesn't look bad at all, I'm just a stickler for some type of "pattern." So rather than make them change 1400 sq ft of patio so far, I'm just going to tell them to alternate back, and then alternate again to what they did as they finish out the rest. So I'll be consistently "switching" those two parts of the pattern.

The screw holes on the skimmer extensions are in case you wish to screw a lid down. I never have.
In the extensions? Really? The same upper plate doesn't change it's position, the extensions go under the top piece...doesn't matter though, We're going to use a bit of silicone to hold them in place.
As for the pattern deviation, I have a good builder. One of the changes was intentional (for a good reason I agree with) and he just hadn't told me yet. But I like what he did. So he insisted on fixing the original areas so it all matched.
Then on the A-B-C vs C-B-A change on the pattern, that was a mistake, and he again insisted on fixing it...I told him I was ok with it, and he said "you asked us to build to the pattern, because you liked it, so I'll fix it..."
Excellent!
