Man they work well together! So any way we can get a close up of the coping? That looks neat from what I can see!

That is SO pretty! What kind/type of stone is that? Is it as smooth as it looks? Is this something you already knew about or did they show it to you as something special they do? That is so neat and different!

Yeah I’m with Kim, that is very different and cool looking. What is the rest of the decking going to be?
It's an exposed aggregate finish that includes white crushed marble. This is being used for the coping and the top of the spa too. For the pool decking itself, we will be using the same technique, but the stone will be a darker colour. The finish isn't super smooth but around the top of the spa they will polish it so that its smooth.
Attached are a couple of pictures of one of the PB's completed jobs with the same materials.
Man that sure looks great! Love the contrasting colors and the texture!
Kim (sure would like to know more about that outdoor fireplace in the above pic. How in the world does that work?)

Kim, they simply added to the outside of the main chimney. The indoor fireplace is on the backside of the outdoor one. I’ve seen those before.
I am guessing they don't stay white long LOL. Do they vent up the chimney or just out into the world?

Each fireplace will have its own flue and damper. From the looks of that one, it hasn’t been used much, if ever.
Day #19 has no video. The crew spent the day stripping the forming from the coping. It looks great! Couple of pictures attached.
They will be passing a grinder over the pebble to smooth it out and then start on the form for the spa.

I am so loving the color of that coping! Look at the neat edge they did to it! That is so neat!

That’s pretty cool that they prefabricated it off site. Easy way to test all your plumbing before install.
OH my that is all new to me! That is the first time I have seen it done that way. I sure am learning a lot with this build!

They certainly have a pretty cool technique. Attached are three photos that they sent me on another job that was completed over the summer...
Here is what the inside will look like.... (this also shows the same coping and deck surface we are going with). The horizontal surfaces of our spa will also be polished concrete and not tiled as in this pic.
Neat stuff! What do they form the seats out of?
I am really loving this whole reno!

Here is yesterday's video of the spa forms being put into place in the pit. Next up is rebar, plumbing to the pool shed and then the concrete pour. https://video.nest.com/clip/ec7c8e60b10a4691875ec64e5d19c79c.mp4
The entire spa is made out of concrete (sides, seats, base, coping, you name it!). The horizontal surfaces will be polished concrete, the vertical surfaces will be tiled.
