Coping now complete. The water feature has also been clad in matching travertine, I pulled the travertine right down to the seat so will be under water and give the water feature the illusion of being taller than the 1m it actually is.
Just have the grout to do tommorow and that part is complete.
Next part is the fence posts. Once they go in I can't concrete the surround and lay the remaining travertine to crest a second row of coping.
Pretty happy with how the look is coming together it's exactly how I wanted it, this has been a struggle at times working with trades who don't care about aesthetics but rather fastest way to do the job (always bites them when they spend double the time redoing things) but we got there in the end.
I was very specific in my cuts and made sure they were minimised and any cuts were away from vision to enhance the appeal of the stone.
Here's how it's looking now

Forum Building A New House Re: Our semi acreage 'Forever House' Build - Pool Under Cons 1322Oct 06, 2016 2:44 pm Looks great so far... watching your pool build as our house build contract includes a concrete pool. Re: Our semi acreage 'Forever House' Build - Pool Under Cons 1323Oct 26, 2016 7:52 pm Been a fair bit happening with the pool the past fortnight, I had to wait for the coping to be done to get the correct levels for the concrete, then before we could box it up I had to get all the Iron Bark posts in as I wanted to have them neatly in the surround and be able to have the fence panels sit above concrete not ground. we then laid all the electrical conduit ready for the concrete surround http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/njectme/516BEC28-360E-4AE2-A247-D37E0F2EA408_zpsqwa8e0d2.jpg Boxed the concrete and started the pour . http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/njectme/DF7B5574-3850-4194-B654-2DB163E391F0_zpstzaddeqs.jpg It ended up 91m2 and 15 cubes of concrete, was a lot of concrete but I wanted to get good proportions and future proof it. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/njectme/AC9876AA-2DB7-4355-B166-0F76B72112FB_zpscuk25b4x.jpg I also managed to incorporate some steps with a landing for the glass gate and a strip around the side and back to level the panels. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/njectme/D6717682-0D7B-47EF-AF8E-75CD13381718_zpsxbbdq4jg.jpg I then started to install the black top fence panels for the side and back The dirt around will be deck to break it up and there is another row of 600x400 travertine to go down hence the extra concrete lip around the coping. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/njectme/207A8E29-F4BF-41FD-B8ED-CCA5DFE110E7_zpsqutl7go6.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/njectme/46A88840-6EAA-4337-B698-0FBB5E32B285_zpsqrsrcb20.jpg Re: Our semi acreage 'Forever House' Build - Pool Under Cons 1324Oct 27, 2016 11:24 pm Congratulations on your wow pool mr bee, I haven't been getting your notifications and I had to look you up and wham your getting a pool  Wow it's fancy, love the mixture of tiling, decking and the iron bark posts, all different elements but they all tie together to make it a cohesive space  How pretty is that travertine!!!

Thanks Tribe I noticed you're selling already! I'm really happy with how it's coming together so far! Can't wait to get some gardens and colour around it though! Our semi acreage 'Forever House' Build - Pool Under Construc 1327Nov 03, 2016 9:36 am It looks fab mr bee that frameless glass at the front is sensational. I really like the steps up to the pool the planting options are endless. Bet you can't wait to have a splash Yeap on the market, crossing fingers for a buyer really soon. We are planning on buying a half acre or more, possibly building again, nothing set in stone yet. 684 34354  Hi All I am building a house but have put the pool in first, and need insurance to cover it until the house is completed. I got a quote to add it to the builder's… 0 306 Wow ! You may well have to dig down outside and water-proof membrane. Then an ag drain as well. Floor doesn't look that good either. 1 247  |
