Yeah, I haven't seen the gravel bed before either. I'm guessing it's because they hit so much rock down there.
Overall, I like your design. That's quite some deep end you have there!
Did the dog leave any paw prints?
When my equipment pad was poured the installer called me out and asked if I wanted to have a paw print on the pad. Of course I said yes and we did it!

Did your PB recommend for you to water the gunite? I watered mine 3 times a day for 7 days.
Question... My electrical panel was full prior to pool equipment. It might have been possible to collapse some small circuits to make room for the 220 and 110 circuits. A sub panel came up, and I said to do it that way. Electrician charged me an extra $350. Is this normal? I would think the PB would know this was a possibility, especially since they never looked in the panel prior to today. I'm not very happy about that, especially since they also knocked out my internet. I can't upload any of pictures of the finished waterline tile.
