super exciting! can you clarify for me what you got for the equipment? you got the 520591 then what for the screen logic add on? to me it looks like you have to add on the wireless connection kit 522104 AND then maybe something else? color me confused. [h=1][/h]

I have 3 boxes here of equipment plus 3 sheer descents and PB said that everything is here except heat pump. The eztouch box is empty because it is mounted and the other two are sealed. I am not an expert and not sure what else I would need except maybe to boost a wi-fi signal? If I am missing something, I can ask the PB...

Not much has happened this week. I have been repairing sprinkler lines off and on all week and should have them all patched up this weekend. PB called and told me that shotcrete is Monday afternoon 
Moving right along; shotcrete will be at 3 weeks from start of excavation...

Make sure you are there for the shell. This has paid off many times for other builds. They might have some ideas or concerns OR they might not be paying attention and start to do something wrong. There was on that had a small beach entry..........well they were making it into a wall and step 
The PO was there and able to stop them and have it fix right then and there!

great tip. they pour mine Thursday!
Thanks for the advice!
here are a few more pictures; if anyone sees anything glaringly wrong, let me know! Still waiting on heat pump that should be installed.

Looks good so far. I wish they did not use the blue valves as they will get brittle over time and may break.

I cut-n-pasted this from your neighbors thread I responded to, but it applies to yours as well. 
Thanks. There will be a block wall around and the equipment and I can cover if needed. A lot of the afternoon it will be in the shade

Yes, yes .. Kim is spot on. Be there for the shotcrete/gunite. My PB was not present, and the sub had blown in four 18" wide steps instead of three 24" ones. I called the PB and they reformed them before it was too late. Actually, I've had the luxury to be home every day of our build. Pain in the back side for the PB, but in actuality I caught many things they would have to redo. Hmmm - now that I think of it .. I shoulda made a commission
Bad day today. I was told to be here at noon for shotcrete and took off work. Shotcrete people pulled a no-call/no-show. When I voice my frustration, they say they are just backed up. I have a feeling they knew on Friday when they delayed the Saturday pour that they knew they wouldn’t be here today. All I needed was an honest schedule date or a phone call. Very frustrating...
I have a BIG gurrrrrrrrrrrr for you! Just tell the truth!!! UNREAL!!! I am going to link you to another thread to show why it is so important to be there. GURRRRRRR

^^^^^They made it today. Still frustrating with lack of communication but it is getting started
Being there surely wont prevent that!
Glad they made it out today. Look forward to more pics! They have me set for Thursday, but if they push to Friday or Saturday I will be ok with that.
I was fine them pushing it back. I was not fine that no one told me that they were pushing it back.
I think we may change our interior finish; trying to do some searching to go from the NPT Stonescapes mini pebble (Tahoe Blue) to the Finest Finish Radiant Fusion blend (Regal Blue). I see a few people on here have done it, but obviously not as many as the mini pebble.

I am SO glad they showed up! Did they have any ideas or tweaks?
I like both of those plasters! It would be hard to pick!
Guess what time it is!! Time for your own set of links! It is a lot of info but it will all start to sink in when you start using it!

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.
Ask your Pb what test kit he will be providing so we can fill in any holes.

We had a sample waiting at home of the Radiant Fusion Regal Blue (pic #1) and decided it was a little dark on the baja shelf, but we liked how smooth it is and the incorporated glass. I think we are going with a color called "Blue Frost" (pic #2) or "Silver lining" (pic #3). I am including a pic from earlier in the thread so people don't have to flip back to look at tile color and original Tahoe Blue selection (the tile in the picture looks gray, but the name is "blue" and it is a nice bluish gray color that the picture doesn't really show.
I already bought the TF100 test kit with speed stir and bought the pool school book for my kindle. We still have a lot of work to do on the pool before filling, but it is indeed right around the corner
I checked my fill water and it will be a challenge; eventually I need to add a water softener to the house and plumb it into my water leveler. I also plan to add SWCG and a robot, but will start with the included suction cleaner and liquid chlorine. My PB was really against salt water generator and it really came down to if I wanted salt water and travertine, I would have had to choose a different builder. I will just add it later.
