The pool

So we have a pool design and a contract.


I don't have an electronic copy of the very latest design but this is pretty close:




The highlights:
- 33 foot 6 inches total length
- 4 foot to 6 foot depth
- raised spa with stacked stone spillover into pool
- raised beam across the back of the pool
- sun shelf on the back of the pool with bubblers
We are also capping the patio in flagstone and adding 425 sq ft of pea stone deck. That should give us plenty of outdoor space including an extended patio off the existing covered patio and a nice area at the end of the pool for sunbathing.
The design changed a little since the drawing - the bench in the deep end is a bit bigger now and there is an extra step in the shallow end (with that step going either side of the existing steps to avoid encroaching on the swimming lane). Also the bench in the spa goes all round with a step in the left side to help with entry and exit.
We love it!

The Bonner's have enough points for a stay in the Presidents Suite at the resort... when are you guys coming? :-)

Too funny. Well to be honest we were talking about making it a Thanksgiving tradition or labour day weekend, something we can look forward to every year? Just like the old days.
