Additional Tile Notes

The waterline tile all appears to be ideal except for one area = the east skimmer. This skimmer is showing signs of movement and issue. The temporary repair may be consist of filling in the gaps with rubberized / flexible products / filled in with new mortar ($1k+) but eventually this area will likely require additional re model ($3-6k) to attempt to solve this current movement issue.

Additionally the waterfall (Sheer decent) itself has some gaps present around the lip and should be filled in with some water proofing product ($500+) to avoid waster migration in this area.

Note on the ends of some of the concrete caps we are seeing movement happening and gaps forming that can also be filled if desired ($1k+).

On the west side of the pool concrete border to the decking there is raised lips that's are ready to cause tripping hazards. Recommend grinding and filling these areas ($1-2K)
