Hello everyone!

In Sweden you build your pool even if the temperature is minus 10 degrees (14° F).
If you find this exotic you can read my blog and se more pictures at dragspelaren.blogspot.com You can change the language in the menu bar into English if you not prefer Swedish.

Actually the blog is about me getting a brain tumour in January-21. It was very dramatic, and I was close to dying. But I was one of the lucky guys that survived and had a benign tumour. After a big operation I’m almost like before. Most probably the tumour will not come back.

The pool is a present to myself and my family. I thought we needed this after a heck of a year.

I post you some nice pics here, so you can see how it differs from the US pools. It’s built in wood.

All the best,
Johannes

That is awesome they build in such cold weather! Not so in the states, pool construction basically shut down here in the states (Ohio at least) until spring.
 
So glad to hear you got through your ordeal. You have a beautiful pool. Hope you enjoy it as soon as the weather gets nice!
 
If they built tiled pools with sliding roofs here in the US they could also build year round.

It is a very different construction technique then used on pools in the US. I doubt many Pool Builders here can construct your pool.
