Pool takes shape

Mark from Pools By Design has done a great job on all the formwork for the pool.  These photos show it taking shape in preparation for the concrete to be 'sprayed' and formed - which happens tomorrow! (weather permitting).

Pool Excavation

It is so exciting to finally see some action!  Jules rang Muz with great excitement when a portaloo and storage shed was delivered to the site - what an achievement!

Our pool company, Pools By Design, began the pool excavation on July 3.  It involved digging right up the northern and western boundaries, to around 500mm beyond where the pool will sit so they can backfill afterwards.


The formwork for the pool has started and all was going well, until part of the retaining wall collapsed - you can see the panels are missing in the pic below.  So the bobcat was called back to dig that section out again.  Thankfully no one was injured!
