Plenty of Work Completed on Pool Today

What a great day, we can really see the progress on the pool works today!!! The pipework is nearly completed, solar pool heating goes in later this week or early next week. Pool filter and pump should be completed this week.

The earthworks have improved the outlook remarkably. You can finally see the pool sitting as it should surrounded by earth!

We have chosen a pool fence contractor, the fence will be both aluminum and frameless glass. The east and west sides will be aluminum panels, mounted 100mm from the outside edge of the pool deck. The north wall will be fence free except the edges of the pool deck which will be face mounted frameless glass. The edges shown on the bottom right side of the photos above and below show were the edge mounted glass will be

The south facing fence will be spigot mounted framless glass with a glass door, the idea is to be able to look out onto the pool and beyond with nothing interfering with the view. When the pool is finished you will be able to see if we were able to make our vision a reality. Below is a photo of the framless glass fencing.

I am currently setting out the strip footings for the side and front face of the fence. I hope to have the form work ready for pouring the concrete Saturday. Fingers crossed.

All the soil and fill was spread about to make a flattened area on the lower level of the back yard. The Mango, Orange and Lemon trees have finally been freed from the dirt that enveloped them for the best part of 10 weeks.

The fill didn't go that far when spread out, it was however too sloppy to completely finish spreading and compacting the soil and fill. In the next few weeks we will get someone in with a bobcat to do the finishing work.

It is a shame the photos don't really show any real detail with regards to the depth and area of the fill when spread out.
