Quite deceiving really. Because it’s not actually a hole for the pool. It’s a hole for the water tanks and pump room which are next to the pool.

Slab preparation – west side.

We will have three tanks along this slab giving us 70,000 litres of water from our rather large roof. We plan to use this throughout the house including drinking water.

And then there was plastic too.

Next up – the concrete.

The pool will be along the left hand side of the slab in this photo. They will dig out more soil one day soon.

Meanwhile, the builders have made good use of the old BBQ table and umbrella. There were some sunny days back in March when I took these photos.
