Coping and tile almost done!

There hasn't been many updates because not a lot has gone on lately as explained in the prior post. This week we had a lot of activity, with the coping getting done (that rectangular cut flagstone that you see), and most of the tile work done. We also had the fire pit built and covered in flagstone. We're not that confident that July 1st, we'll have a pool, but our construction manager says that's when we're going to have water in the pool. The schedule seems agressive, but it sounds like they finish tiling and get decks poured next week. Then we have plaster (actually we went with pebble tec instead) on Monday June 28th. I'm not sure where that leaves the automatic pool cover installation.

The pebble tec we got is actually an off-name brand pebble finish. It's essentially the same stuff, but it's just not the "pebble tec" brand pebble. Which doesn't seem that important to me. Both have the same warranty, and look about the same. It gives it a nicer finish and more color, but the process is to put the pebble finish on one day, then the next day use an acid wash to clean it, and then the third day you can start putting in water. Heading down the home stretch now!
