The Pool!

One of the first things on our agenda after moving in was to get a pool in the back yard hopefully in time for Christmas.  Unfortunately the rain has delayed things but as you can see from the pictures below we are well on the way to completion.  With all the rain and the digging, there has been sooo much mud!  The boys have been loving all the noise and action.

A "before" shot

The excavators rolling in

The first scrape

Well on the way - the first half was very quick, then they hit rock which slowed them down a lot


Goodbye lawn!

.... hello swamp.

Laying down the gridwork prior to the concrete spray

The spray - very noisy and dusty

And the end result! 


Now we just need to wait a month or so for the concrete to cure, then the pebble base and tiles will be put on, along with the retaining wall, the feature wall, the electrics and the plumbing etc, then the last job - fill it up with water!
