They put in notch in the top of the gunite for it and the overflow.
Those unions like the dripping one do not need a lot of pressure. It took me a long time to figure out that the drips were from it being too tight. My PB told me hand tight plus 1/4 turn. Well my hand tight was more than his and I battled a million drips. Now I just do hand tight and adjust any that need a Skootch more.

you are at about the same phase we are with our pool build. I lost all four of my sprinkler zones due to the fact that they all ran through the middle of the backyard. Fortunately, the PB didn't care if I reconnected things and used their open trenches to repair at least three of the four. The way I see it, it's my backyard and pipes and if I was willing to assume the responsibility of any damage then so be it. Luckily, I was able to do this work on my own saving lots of repair time and money after. I only need to connect and run my last zone behind the pool after they pour the cement deck.

I have also put in some utility pvc pipes under where the cement will be poured to run landscape lighting wires.
The attention to detail is awesome on every part of it except the top. I wonder what they were thinking when they did it. I am not sure how it could be fixed.....maybe a neutral tile? Do you have any extra pieces to play around with?
They still have a whole box. They will fix it tomorrow by just busting those out and replacing them.
BUT how/where will they cut them??? Hummmmm maybe right at the middle on either side of the center center "flower".
They will just use the top inch of a tile positioned as if no slimmer was there. That’s what they used already but for some reason flipped it upside down.
I got it now! I see what you are saying! Thanks. How much you want to bet that was a "new" guy doing that or it was some of the last pieces and they were hot and tired.
It is a two man team that my PB uses for all his jobs. He was clear that they are slow but he feels they do the best job. To me it was just a brain fart thing or a maybe they thought it looked better that way thing.
More progress today. Got gutters installed. Drains buried. More tiling work and I love how they did the columns.
Decking guy had wanted to rip out all the existing concrete because it sloped toward the house $$$. Decided we would adjust the grading, rip out that small section of concrete and move the pop-up to the other side of the house. I think with the gutters and drains it will work out and be better than what we had before with the water that drained towards the house.

That column topper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Artist with a big saw to the max!!!!!
looks great...
What type of decking are you using? Are those drains just going to be small round grates? If you use large paver pieces you might have trouble chasing the water to those small drains. Be sure your patio guy has a clear plan on how he will get water to drains.
