Man, I wish carpentry/construction did not have such an established system of guys wasting time and energy trying to make it harder for those that are new. It drives away intelligent hard workers who have self respect and only leaves kids who are naive to the situation, flunkies, or junkies. These job sites often continue cycles of abuse that becomes normal and any attempts to make the site professional or respectful is thought of as weak and sensitive. It's the father's job to put his son through controlled adversity through challenge, not the seniors at work. Any gaps a father leaves will be filled out through independence in life. There's a good reason why you will never find a long term construction worker who is completely sober. They medicate to survive, physically and mentally. It does not have to be that way...

Was your pool base material Portland and sand? If so is that common for where you are as opposed to vermiculite? Nice work! I sympathize with you on the rainstorm I took on a 20x 40 ' as retirement project and although it took me 3 months and got it done I won't be doing that again. Thanks

Portland cement yes no vermiculite. I just really don’t like vermiculite. You need to make sure you have enough drainage around the pool, but other than that I like it better product in my opinion.

You really should thinset the beam and the coping. mortars more for building up not making two pieces stick together. Mortar alone is going to break loose specially with dry on dry would have even helped a little to wet the beam and the back of the pieces. I know I’m just some guy on the internet critiquing your work but I actually do very high end coping and tile in S Fla. I also would have just cut those stones on my wet saw.
