Tuesday 11th Jan 2011
The hole had been dug and we were waiting to see our new pool installed.
At this point I should share some reservations we had about the actual pool. We had discussed the whole fibreglass vs concrete dilemma but cost and a high water table lead us down the fibreglass route.
Then size became as issue (it DOES matter according to Craig!), colour was the next consideration- I wanted green, he wanted blue so we decided to "Twinkle", which is a teal kind of colour.
Anyway, as soon as we saw the pool loaded up on the back of the truck we were excited!
As you can see we have a rear block, a narrow 4m driveway and powerlines on our side of the street, all contingencies the pool guys had to overcome with the use of two cranes.
Amost there...
It is in but not in the right place!
The pool had to be lifted out and guess what, our luck was still running hot as we then had a cave in.
The ever patient crew had to down "tools" and wait in the 38 degree heat for a bobcat to come and redig the hole.
Redigging...
Waiting...
...and in again at last.
