Sheesh. What a workout! You do realize criminals were sentenced to easier jobs than that. But at least you're seeing progress again. This will be the most wonderful pool ever ...when its done. Gotta say, your chateau grounds are gorgeous in the spring
I admire how hard you both work and enjoy seeing the progress. This place will be so special to you both always. Hope that you have many years happy occasions within this home;
We have already had many. Trying to enjoy it as we go along. Sometimes a challenge but it’s important to enjoy the journey as well as focusing on the end point!
I would fill it in and consider it a good job 😄 I really really hope that all the blood sweat and tears are worth it 🤞 you have far more perseverance than me!
If I can ask, why did you make the pool so deep? Unless you’re putting in a diving board you definitely don’t need a pool that deep for swimming in. And the water will be much colder the further down you go. Will you put in a solar pool heater?
Long story! But it has to be 2m deep all over in the main body so you create natural thermal currents or something. But admittedly we went deeper than that by accident in our haste with the digger.
It needs to be 2 meters deep to ensure there are enough convection currents to ensure that the water circulates to the plant bedding area which cleans the water. The liner is black and we'll line it with some insulation too which will help keep it slightly warm but it can't be too warm for the plants either.
That’s a big job. Thank goodness you have some nice warm weather. Best of luck and please take a break guys. It reall6 ids backbreaking ❤
It is great to see you back at the pool again. Mind your wrist and don't overdo it.❤
Thank you, I will
Your reluctance to continue and finish the pit of despair shows🤣
I’m sure it will look fabulous when finished. Keep on keeping on. X
Thanks, it has been a slog but we've been making good progress since soo keen to get it finished now!
The out buildings by the gravel piles are beautiful. Good luck with the pool.❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉😊
Thank you!

I would add horizontal rebar elements in the space between the two wall segments, to give the structure extra strength.
Thanks we did. It's one of the reasons it took so long
Hoping the rest of the pool construction goes well. Love watching you both making progress on the house and pool.❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Loving your choice of music to accompany this muscle breaking task!!
Thanks ☺️
jolyon that was a test for your wrist 😮 and poor chris wanted i guess to through in the towel without the pool . ❤
Kath!!! You were missed. ❤️❤️
It was a testing time for sure. I'm glad I can help out more now!

Jeez - hard slog guys. Good on you
You can buy rounded safety caps to put on the ends/tops of those metal rods.
We resorted to plastic milk bottles in the end that did the trick
I love your determination and work ethic. Can't wait to see you take a well earned swim.when it's finished.
We have to hold on to that dream!
What a filthy job! Take care of your wrist. Good luck with this project!
Thanks ☺️ x

i dread to think how much concrete you are getting through…bravo stick with it……..
One day we will work out how many blocks, tonnes of gravel, and cement we used! So much for natural pool lol!! But will be worth it
Poor Chris. 🤦😂😂❤️🥂

Did I imagine it or did the Chat just disappear?
It worked fine for me. ❤️
