Swimming Pool - Update 5

We love all the comments from you guys. Please keep them coming. From now on we will try to respond to them if we think that is appropiate / needed / ... ;-)

Ewald: Ondertussen hebben we hier ook aardig wat regen. Zij het dan in de verste verte niet in NSW-hoeveelheden! Wel een klein beetje reden tot zorg, zolang de 'backfill' van het zand nog niet gedaan is.
Anonymous (van het Toetanchamon comment): Wie ben je ???
Eutrice:Dank je wel. Wij zijn ook aardig benieuwd. Het is wel een periode van laat ik maar zeggen 'gematigde zorg' tot in ieder geval de grond weer dicht is...
Ineke: Ongeveer 11 bij 2.8m, maar eerst maar eens zien wanneer het allemaal af is ;-)

The concrete has been sprayed last Wednesday. Some photos (this time a bit smaller size, click on them if you want to see the medium sizes ;-)

Can you see where the 'entry steps' of the pool will be?

The next day (Thursday) the steel enforcement is being laid:

And also they have now placed a few stencils to help preventing the pillar from caving in. We are still a bit worried, and are really hoping we will not have rain any time soon ....

Swimming Pool - Update (photos ;-)

Ok, finally some photos of the pool building process. Of course the pavers had to go first. This was done at the end of March, while waiting for the final council approvals:

Two blocks on the right the building preparation are starting too:

Then a good two months later, the day for digging finally was there:
