I screenshot it from your thread. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75739&p=1299716#p1299716 Hi that is called Dwarf rhoeo you tend to see it in almost every garden as its a good filler that multiplies. A lot of people rip half out every couple of years and it clumps back again. Even have a look on council roundabouts etc and grab a couple they just pull apart and will clump and multiply. Re: Our semi acreage 'Forever House' Build -After Hand Over 1310Jul 15, 2016 6:46 am We have now chosen a pool builder the plans were approved by council yesterday and I should hopefully have a start date next week! It's all going to happen pretty fast as the pool will only take approx 6 weeks from start to finish (longest time is waiting for the shell to cure). It will be a busy few weeks in between of doing fencing etc so glad it's winter and not hot! Will post up photos of the progress as we go for everyone too Re: Our semi acreage 'Forever House' Build -After Hand Over 1311Jul 15, 2016 10:27 pm How exciting Build thread http://tinyurl.com/llgc7yk Re: Our semi acreage 'Forever House' Build -After Hand Over 1313Jul 16, 2016 6:44 am Tribe7 Ohhh sounds great bees. Have you got a sketch of the pool?? You going to do the fencing yourself?? Very excited for you all I only have a mock up I did to work out how much fencing and concrete and tiles I will need but it shows what it should look like but will also have a garden right around the sides and back as well to try keep it tropical looking and not Barron. I've decided to do the stairs in Kwila to match the house and instead of a retaining wall (gradual slope) will do gardens either side. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/njectme/0A5E4CF9-29E1-4CF3-AA0E-E480A092FA21_zps02tqkmfw.jpg Re: Our semi acreage 'Forever House' Build -After Hand Over 1314Aug 08, 2016 7:30 pm Pool is marked out and ready to dig in the morning http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/njectme/6B8A9965-810A-4335-9933-935DF09A43A4_zpsbxzmpmcv.jpg Re: Our semi acreage 'Forever House' Build - Pool Under Cons 1316Aug 10, 2016 5:34 pm Steel and plumbing was done today. Went with blowers on each ledge for bubble effect and added provision for solar or a heat pump. Concrete shell starts tomorrow morning. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/njectme/29B912C2-6C76-49F7-BD69-309060F2D381_zpsnf14a04d.jpg Re: Our semi acreage 'Forever House' Build - Pool Under Cons 1317Aug 12, 2016 10:32 pm Last of the big days today, the concrete shell was pumped and sprayed in. Finally looking like a pool now, will sit for 28 days before the coping goes on the red tod the time line will depend on how quick I can get fences done. I'm getting approx 75m2 of concrete around the pool which can't be done until the coping is done to get the level right for the tiles. This will include the slab for the Bali hut which will go on the shed side of the pool.

The plumbing for the filter etc is almost complete and I have dug out the pool surround area ready for concrete We ended up going a linen Travertine tile. For the coping it is 600x400 then I will do a second row of 600x400 to make my coping 800 mm and bsically be twice as thick as usual. The water feature will also be clad in travertine and will use the coping on the edges and top and then 600x600 travertine on front and back. Following out from the coping will be 600x600 travertine laid on the concrete surround on the front and right side (future Bali hut) and at this stage I will deck the left side and back for a bit of a variance in colour and to tie in the wood features of house. Looking forward to the coping starting that will be in a week then we can work out concrete surround levels which will the. Allows us to do the fences once the surround is layed.
