After the roller coaster of the last couple of months, our pool passed the final inspection last week. MM did some lovely handy work on the side gate and the back fence to make sure they were within code. We should have the certificate and permit in our hands any day. Then we can sigh a big sigh of relief!
As many of you know, our pool builder went out of business so we had to complete the pool ourselves. Luckily we were at a stage where the outstanding jobs were ones we could do ourselves. We hear many others were not so lucky. MM also made contact with another local builder who was fantastic. He chain smokes and talks like Boomhauer from the 'King of the Hill' but he knows his stuff and did us numerous favours that we are very grateful for.
Last weekend we finished the final job - sealing the flagstone. As we have salt water, over time the salt will erode the stone so the sealant will help it's longevity. The water is beading from the recent rains so we must have done something right!
We also tided up the equipment pad.
(that's the AC unit in the foreground).
And now we wait for summer so we can jump in there without fearing hypothermia!

i can't believe the nice pool man and the little enchiladas went bust....i also can't believe that you and matt, well matt, had to finish things off yourself.
Why is cecily in the pool herself????
Cecily loves to hang out in the pool by herself - she especially LOVES the bubblers! ;) Although she does make a run for the fence when it gets a little windy so we have to bring her inside.
