I wish your company was in Florida. We still dont have an accepted quote. Companies here have been on "pool maintenance" fulltime since the hurricane a few weeks ago. Finally got another company coming out to give me a quote on Friday.
edit: Very nice work, btw

That look like some really good work, and it really is beautiful. If I had one thing to nitpick at it would be the arch over the fireplace. It's too striped. I would have gone with either a dark mortar that matched the darker bricks so it is an uninterrupted accent, or gotten lighter stone.
Either way, I'm being mighty picky. Can you give us a rough approximation of what that cost start to finish? I can't remember if you did already.
Edit: also, where is the fridge?

Fridge is on the far left. It was in the $50's.
We don't do custom mortar colors. Grey or white, that's it.

Also, that's not a dishwasher, but a fridge? Never seen one with that handle configuration.

Correction: grey, white, and buff which is slightly more tan than the white. It goes well with all the Leuders we do.
Also those bricks were done at the homeowners request to match the fireplace in their living room. Same brick, same mortar.
Homeowner supplied his own appliances so that fridge is whatever. I just made a hole for it and plugged it in.

As interest rates keep moving higher, are people still financing pools and backyard kitchen? Or is it more of a pay when it's complete thing now?

People are still financing. It slowed down quite a bit after the initial shock but now that people are getting used to the higher interest rates and realize they aren't coming back down any time soon things are picking back up. We had a pretty brutal summer this year in n. Texas so that helped too.
