We're looking at Master Pools Narellan Pools 😊 Should be finished by Wednesday, minus pool equipment, which has to wait for concreting to be done in about 10 days. Paving and fence done late October - due to delay in pavers coming from overseas. Can’t wait for it to be done… no backyard for our puppy at all right now. Just piles of stones and dirt ready for back filling around pool shell. Be prepared for your backyard to be destroyed during install! Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 664Sep 18, 2021 9:05 pm We've got a very defined area to work in due to an overlay, that the pool guys are aware of... We're thinking of a honed aggregate pool deck with a clear seal to match in with our other hard surfaces Our Bayside KDR Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78298 Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 665Sep 19, 2021 11:36 am Mate, Congratulations on a nice build !!

This was mainly to avoid conduit running up the external walls when retrofit later. We also got the NBN package through them, which made it a lot easier connecting up later on. Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 667Nov 05, 2021 1:30 pm Pool has been installed for about 6 weeks now. There were delays due to the 2 week construction closure and our pavers should arrive in the next fortnight. Official handover to show us how to operate equipment is tomorrow - looking forward to them giving us our vacuum so we can get the pool floor clean! At least the water is clean, so we have been able to swim 💦 Once pavers and fence are installed, cladding will go onto fence, plants will go in and damaged grass will be replaced. ☀️ Just in time for summer! ☀️ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 668Mar 26, 2022 1:23 pm It has taken a few months…. Mainly due to a 4 month delay in pavers, but the backyard makeover is finally complete. 💦☀️🍻 Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 669Mar 26, 2022 1:27 pm That's awesome, who did your pool and outdoor kitchen? We've got the same space and bricked up the wall and installed shutters, but need to find a decent outdoor kitchen to go in the space Our Bayside KDR Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78298 Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 670Mar 26, 2022 1:34 pm Drew01 That's awesome, who did your pool and outdoor kitchen? We've got the same space and bricked up the wall and installed shutters, but need to find a decent outdoor kitchen to go in the space Hi Drew01, Narellan Pools built our pool. Local landscaper did the pool paving and fence. Clayton’s did the outdoor kitchen - custom made for the space. Hubby did the vertical wall garden 😊. Having a break for a while and then in spring we will put up Star Jasmine on wire along rest of fence so we have some greenery for kitchen/pantry splashback windows, laundry and powder room. How is that man cave going? Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 671Mar 26, 2022 1:56 pm Awesome, we've just managed to get approval to move the line of easement in our place, so a pool is back on the agenda... Man cave has stalled due to weekend commitments with the kids, but our side gate is mostly complete, just need to do a test fit, and clean before sending it to powdercoat Our Bayside KDR Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78298 Hi, First of all, thank you to this community for sharing your thoughts and opinions.
