Congrats!! I hope to be in the same boat by the end of next week! Looks amazing.
What size are your sheer descents? I really like the back wall. We did something similar but I think my sheers are too small. Oh well - as they say here ... for the next pool (or major renovation).
I am so glad we are able to swim now, but daunting to think what I still have left to do, mainly the landscaping and lighting, ugh. Oh and fixing the sprinkler system.
In the meantime, PB is managing start-up for 30 days and then they will start-up the SWG. I am planning on managing the pool myself after that. What type of test kit should I buy? The one they gave me isn’t great.

I feel your pain. My pool was finished at the end of January and I am still working on the landscaping. That is just not something I enjoy doing, but it is a place where money can be saved by doing it yourself. I just do not have an 'eye' for that stuff.
Congrats on the pool getting completed! Looks great! Read the pool school articles and listen to the brain trust on here and taking care of the pool will be easy peasy. I haven't had any issues since I took over mine from the PB at the end of February.

Great looking pool and I think the concrete looks great how it is. Would be interested to know what they put on your pipes if you could find out
I hear ya. I’m in the same boat and not a huge fan of landscaping DIY. But for what the landscapers want to charge I’m definitely going to be doing most of it myself!
