Not really sure to be honest, don't think it will be done by morning, maybe mid morning, latest lunchtime I'm hoping Wiz Built @ Brooks Reach Built the Verdelho Guest with Beechwood Re: Pool build underway....finally! 43Dec 18, 2014 6:44 pm Still filling! Has about 40cm left. Told the kids they could hop in anyway. That was pretty awesome Wiz Built @ Brooks Reach Built the Verdelho Guest with Beechwood Re: Pool build underway....finally! 45Dec 18, 2014 7:03 pm Topharin That takes a surprisingly long time....but who cares it looks great and will be so worth the stress It did take a lot longer than I expected!

We're going to have a nice water bill soon http://i1376.photobucket.com/albums/ah4/kells_bells1/Full_zps0582725d.jpg All ready for handover on Monday. They PB have arranged a local pool shop person to come and hook up the pump and chlorinator and give us a run down. I have told the kids to not pee in the pool under any circumstances I am so freaking happy. It has taken such a long, long time to get to this point. Once we have cleaned up and the water feature and lights are up and running I will take some more photos.

You haven't whinged too much! I've enjoyed the details so I know what might lie ahead for us. I hope you get some great swimming weather now.

Pump was switched on and (thank goodness!) works beautifully (I was having some sleepless nights imagining the worst!) still have to get the pump enclosure sorted and and some landscaping done. I'm happy it's finally done!

My husband is yet to build something around it. We've looked at a few housing boxes, but they are really expensive, hence his desire to build!

A small garden shed or "dog kennel" type enclosure might work as well. The last home I lived in didn't have a pool and when i went to sell it the agents were not happy, even telling me to put one in to sell the place.
