New Pool Build in Los Angeles

[TheBromanEmpire]

Hi All,
We broke ground mid-September. So far, so good. We have a great builder! Our backyard was a blank slate. We are now in the process of deciding on the pool finish and decking, landscaping etc. Our plans include a new retaining wall and fire pit seating area. Your comments, tips and advice are welcome!

Ensure that the plaster crew removes all the overlap from the tile installation, this will help with a stronger bond under the tile.

Are you referring to grinding off any thinset on the gunite that squeezes out the bottom of tile installation?
