Levelling of the land










The laying of the pool pattern










Then the hole was dug











and the pool shell was delivered




























And placed where it will spend the rest of its poolie life :-)




























and then the water truck came and brought the water .










And the pool was filled













and whilst this was happening,
Waggs the site supervisor was watching on :)











So we have been and ordered the coping for around the pool it will be a greyish/purple colour and then we are stencil creteing the rest of the area around the pool with a a sand stone colour :)
We are looking forward to it being finished and having a BBQ and a swim :)

We will be keeping cool in the pool this summer

Our beautiful Narellan pool will be starting to get installed on the 6th of october. Smack bang through the school holidays. The Kids are super excited.

It is called the Madeira and the colour we are using is Bermuda blue. Just like the one here in this picture.










We will have pics as soon as we get our reg net access back. as our 13 yo got a new i pod and used our monthly allowance in under 3 days. Oh the fun of having teenagers LOL

Oh and our wall man is here too doing the retaining walls for the front gardens :). I cant wait i have decided i would love to have a cherry blossom a few smelly roses and a hedge of lavender for the top garden. and for the bottom garden i will prob do a bed of natives :) and bush rock.

any ways more in a few days

Hi Everyone,

Below are the latest driveway pics. We are now able to have our caravan close by.

The concrete is done! We have a drive way

Hi all
The concrete was finished today, and it looks fabulous. Of course I didn't get pics of the stencil off. The boys came back and removed the stencil in the arvo and covered it with plastic.
