pillars going up



a pool at last


We are so excited about being in the final major project of our house renovation.  The plan is to board the plane to South Africa, knowing that when we return our house will be complete!

At the rate that our builder is putting these pillars up it is probably optimistic but we live in hope.  The pool itself, looks fantastic.  It is 7.5 metres by 4 metres so there is plenty of room for the boys and their friends to dive and splash.  They have already jumped in twice in spite of the freezing temperature.  As the days start getting longer and warmer, the prospect of having our own pool is awesome. 

So the action plan is:  render (plaster) the pillars, pave and cement the areas around the pool, install a roof over the outdoor entertainment area, put in the panels between the pillars, paint everything, landscape the garden and then SWIM!

Woohoo!!  I can't wait for this to all be over so the real fun can begin.
