We have decided to take the plunge and up the loan during the build process and get a pool. Here are some extracts of our drawings. What do you think?

Where is north in respect to your land? Who are you going to use to build your pool? We built the Wisdom Majestic 40 - moved in! Our blog - http://ourwisdommajestic40.blogspot.com.au/ Our H1 thread - viewtopic.php?t=54156 Re: Our Pool Thread.... pool approved! On to construction te 4Apr 14, 2012 2:41 pm I have decided to log our progress with our pool. We do it with our homes... and the pool is another major expense... So what has happened thus far... We got quotes from key pool builders in Sydney and it came down to two N and BH. BH won the deal. The pool design is the above drawing with provisions for heating, a creepy crawly type cleaner, pool blanket and fencing and 2 gates. BH called us to advise we needed a Sydney Water Site Peg Out, through them it was $1200, but we managed to get one done for $350. So all good. Pool has now been approved and we have been moved onto the construction team. Once we have some more info I will post pics and progress Re: Our Pool Thread.... 5Apr 20, 2012 7:47 pm Meeting Construction Manager on Tuesday, did date will likely be 2 weeks from that meeting as long as the rain holds off. Re: Our Pool Thread.... 6Apr 24, 2012 12:23 pm 927, we are also about to dig our pool, mark out today, dig Thursday, our design is very similar but we have the step design on the back wall, as our back fence is on an angle, our is a bit bigger I think 39000 litres. We will do fencing ourselves what type of fence due you have?. Oh and by the way BH is that blue haven? Will be interesting to compare the process, we are going with a small company. Re: Our Pool Thread....pegged ready for the dig! 7May 11, 2012 2:43 pm After an interesting few weeks and change of pool supervisor we are back on track. The pool has been marked out and pegged ready for digging next week! Formwork the same week and concrete on the following monday.... Your whole yard changes perspective once they mark it all out. On the diagonal we have just under 10m of length to swim. It looks a lot bigger than I expected which is great. Re: Our Pool Thread....pegged ready for the dig! 9May 11, 2012 8:24 pm Congrats Cass and Gogo .......hope the weather stays dry for you both. Look forward to seeing pics.

Re: Our Pool Thread....pool will be dug out tomorrow!!!! 11May 15, 2012 7:51 pm Well the good news is that the guy doing the dig for the pool is very good at communication. He has called me 4 times in the last 48hrs to confirm times and location etc to dig our pool. Looking forward to seeing what it looks like tomorrow!!!!! hope to have some good pics tomorrow!

Our pool was dug on Monday, but apprently the steel fixer will take 3 days to get it perfect hence the concrete not being poured till a little later Re: Our Pool Thread....pegged ready for the dig! 15May 16, 2012 8:32 pm Re: Our Pool Thread....pegged ready for the dig! 16May 16, 2012 9:06 pm Lot927 They guys that dug the hole today were excellent.
