Day 38

The slab for the bottom floor patio and around the pool has now been completed.  We also have some more foundations done for a retaining wall on the topside of the flat pool area.  Builder is now ready to start cutting timber and hammering nails (to his and our delight).

New slab goes from outside store room and laundry, around pool and into bottom patio

Shows the slab outside store room and laundry

Charlotte checking the levels

We will have a lawn where the photo was taken from

Pool pipes not that deep here, wonder how many years it will take for me to forget they are there and put a shovel through them?

Looking back towards the store room.  New retaining wall will be built on the right (you can see the foundations and reinforcement)

Looking back into the bottom floor patio

I reckon we just fill it up now and swim

Back patio... brackets are for the deck posts.

A fair bit of block work to go in this area yet with the study and retaining wall, but should all be done by next week

Water tank has been delivered.  Not quite the one we ordered, so might be going back unless John can move some pipes around to suit this one.  Colour is what we wanted though.
