Really pleased to get some photos through today, showing how the work is progressing...and that beautiful view of the Colli Martani in the distance.
Nice to be sitting in the pool staring out at these views....

| Building the plinth |
so it needed a good solid base to sit on...

| Showing the levelling of the land required |
The pool is due to be installed during w/comm 27th May - we've bought one of these from Leroy-Merlin...

| 3m x 5m rigid sided pool |

| The grass will recover! Look at the olives and the trees! |
I'll add more photos when it is completed.
Other works - adding a small space to put the BBQ on (a nice new Weber one..) so that the fat doesn't drip onto the terracotta, which soaks it up like a sponge...wish we'd done this last year...

| BBQ space and yet more growth on the grass |

| Look at how the new grass has grown! |
It's great that you're recording each step of the way. By doing that, you can look back on how things came to be. You could tell other people that the pool they're swimming upon was nothing but dirt once upon a time, and that you yourselves built it from scratch. I hope it is finished by now, so that you guys could enjoy your pool right away!
