Is the hot tub going to be deep with those steep angled walls?
You doing the tile work - like you did before?
Nah. These days I’m better off in the money department (Thanks, Trump!) but worse off in the free time department. That’s not to say I won’t still weekend warrior some home-improvement projects, but this wasn’t really something I could fit into my schedule.
Nice work. You’re still winning. They were supposed to shoot this last week but no one ever showed up.
Yeah that has happened to us a lot. If we don’t pester the contractor, they don’t come. If we complain a little, they send a guy over to tinker around. If we raise hell, they get a crew here and get some stuff done. We’re trying to balance the fine line of being squeaky enough to get oil, but not so squeaky that they tune us out completely.

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

We got home from a week on Lake Powell earlier this week to discover that they had installed the tile on our accent wall.
Too bad it isn’t the tile that we selected.

Ouch. I like the tile actually, just not with the wall.
Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

So...are they going to rip it out and put in the correct stuff? I'd make them, and at no cost to me. Too permanent, and expensive, to not have it done right.

Of course that is option A. Alternatively, the builder will probably offer an option to keep that tile at no charge to DS or at a steeply reduced rate. I don't know how close this tile is to what they ordered, but if it were close, and it were going to be $3-4k in savings, I'd probably consider that option.

Congrats! Not you're only 30 days from swimming. [emoji849]

14! Should be ready just in time for 4th of July.

If that's an option, I agree completely. But if there are no concessions, then I would make them pull it.
The quartz/plaster has to cure. If you get in before it has fully hardened, it will flake out. But that doesn't take 14 days. It takes 3-4. However, pool can't be heated for 10 days after that. So we can actually start swimming this weekend in the cold water, but it might be a few days before it is warm enough to be comfortable. Personally, I love a cold pool when it's hot outside.

I wish we had incorporated a water feature into ours. There was going to be a short retaining wall on one end that I hoped to make into a waterfall into the pool, but I balked on the cost.
