Make sure to ask any and all questions you might have no matter how small! We have all been where you are at one point.
Now is also the time I ask what test kit your PB is providing. Let us know so we can fill in any blanks.

Electricians came out today. We added 3 extra outlets plus a light for the equipment pad. They put the pool light switch and the pump controller right by our patio which was nice. They came up with that
They installed an AquaPure box for SWG. That won't work with our Nature 2 Soft correct? I asked them after they installed it if that's the right one and they said yes. I'm thinking it won't

Looking good. Hopefully this rain isn't as bad as they say it's going to get.
I noticed your gutters don't drain into drainage pipe away from the house. It looks like you have the slope to bury a drainage line to your fence. It may be part of your decking plan but I would bury some drainage lines before the deck does down to get rid of rain water and even add some drained to the deck. Maybe a channel drain near your covered patio.

Zodiac is the parent company of Jandy/Polaris. The Jandy Aqua Pure controller controls the Zodiac Nature 2 salt cell.
I thought about connecting a line to the gutter and having it drained toward the slope/fence. Also thought about making it go opposite direction(toward pool equip) and not having to dig a trench. Would just be covered in mulch along with future plants/flowers

Build is looking good. Light for equip was a very good call...I use mine a lot since I can control it from my phone. Stay safe and hopefully dry!
Wow! Now you don't have to water it. Think if they hadn't finished the gunnite, you'd have one giant mud pit.
I'm so glad the gunite was completed before Harvey. You had your very own catch basin. Are your neighbors jealous?
I hope your house is ok. When you get a chance and can get to a store, find out what you need to add to the water to slow down the skeeters. I'm not quite sure what would work best - chlorine bleach, mosquito donuts, etc? Others on here can make some suggestions. Your PB will be draining it, but it may not be immediately depending on what's on his plate.
Best of luck,
Suz
btw, love the shape. Good job.

The mosquito donuts work quite well. I would see about removing some of the water to give you room for more rain
finally got some updates. tile and coping was supposed to start this past weekend but they didn't finish the job before us so they never came. They showed up Tuesday and started the coping. They came back today (Wednesday) to start/finish tile.
The deck crew also came out the same day but couldn't do much since tile and coping guys were in the way. They were supposed to come the next day but no one told them that they got pushed back. They are coming back today to start. They did the outline but its not like the drawing. It is much bigger which we wont complain like that if its not added cost. We will see if it stays like that.
The electrician inspection failed. As far as I can read it says the conduit depth was an issue and there was no markings for buried line. The electrical company is supposed to call the city to find out. A&S said this wouldn't interfere with decking crew but I don't know. If they have to dig deeper then I don't know how it wouldn't have an effect
