Update....
-Excess dirt was removed over the weekend
-Pavers and coping have been delivered
-Water line tile is on site
-All the miscellaneous parts have been delivered. Lights, plumbing parts, filter, pump, skimmers, robot, etc.
Tile and coping are scheduled to be installed early this week. Plumbing and electric on friday. My landscapers are coming out the following week for the patio aND ground repair.
One issue we have run into that I need some advice on. I measured the pools shape against the spec drawing the pool builder provided. The deep end is narrower by 6-12 inches and the middle of the pool is short by a little over a foot. The PB is out of town until the middle of the week, but via email he said that there are "allowable variances" in these types of construction projects. A big concern of mine is that since this is a kidney shaped diving pool, the board will be angled toward the section of the pool missing at least a foot of distance. The PB says it's a legal pool, but I am worried about the missing distance. He is coming out when he gets back in town to review the measurements. His foreman was on site this weekend and agreed that the pool is short, and that I should get what I paid for.
I know I should have measured before gunite, but I had faith in these guys, plus I was traveling alot.
Am I wrong to be concerned? And/or is this something that I should work with the PB for a remedy? I highly doubt it's feasible to widen the pool to get it in line with the agreed specifications. But is it something that I should use as leverage for something else, upgrades???
I am pretty easy going with this type of stuff, but if I pay for something I feel it should be provided.
