Excellent news... Things have been given a violent shove forward...
6 railway sleepers are being delivered on Thursday, so I can build the frame and get it level.... The greatest thing about this, I only have to level the frame itself, and the space inside the frame.... I've cut my workload by a third....
We dragged the pool frame out this morning and put it together, to get an idea of how much space we will need with the sleepers. They are 20cm wide...... I was so surprised to see that I will not have very much room for turf..... AT ALL....
About a 30cm strip the whole way round...
So we've decided to do the whole yard with decorative pebbles....
Right next to the base of the pool, I've chose a 67mm thick marine rope to protect the liner, then I will put white polished rocks 30-40mm in size to fill out to the railway sleepers, then I think I will use river rocks, on the other side of the sleepers, to fill the gap, as they will provide a great contrast next to the wood of the sleepers and the white rocks...
This way I don't have to level the entire front yard, and I've reduced costs yet again...
Pics on Thursday when the sleepers arrive... I've got more work to do out the front, the rain has made my yard very uneven and I've got grass growing back there, so I need to put in about 4 hours I reckon....
So excited to get going again.... When I get the yard done I will put the pool up, fill it to below my returns, balance the water, bring it to shock level and cover it for the rest of the winter, so I'll be ready for summer.... Then the decorating begins....
