We finished pouring the swimming pool base last Thursday and have now started the block work which is now at the half way stage.

I have had to pull the men off the job for a few days as we have just been hit by a sirocco (hot winds from Africa) The temp reaches 110 degrees in the shade by about 11.30 am.

I am aiming to have completed the swimming pool structure and plumbing by Saturday, weather permitting.

Had a good day with no complications, digger just squeezed through and most importantly we managed to dig down to the required pool depth without hitting rock. There was no electrics on site so I brought down the generator to give us power for the water pump. Had to dampen down to reduce the dust for the neighbours.

Stage 1 completed.

Now I am going to wash the dust off……

Latest photos

Starting to look like an Infinity pool.

This pool has an aljibi (water tank) on one side and the pump house on the other, it has been built on a reinforced 400mm thick steel and concrete
base as it is built on reclaimed land.

Infinity pools, also known as negative edge pools, are pools built so that the edge of the water blends into the horizon.
