The suspense of the POOL!

Well, finally the pool is done. Since we got here 2 years ago, it has been a mental milestone for me, that once the pool is done, we are nearly done!

Here are some pictures of what turned out to be a mammoth undertaking. The area Tom & Belinda choose, is lovely, but VERY rocky. We had to "move" about 12 rocks, each the size of a legless cow. With no mechanical machinery, we had to fire each rock, sometimes 5 or 6 times, and after each fire, pour water over them, in the attempt to get the granite monoliths to crack. Then, with subtle persuasion with 20 pound hammers, we could chip them away into workable sizes.

The final result is well worth all of the effort. There is a double infinity edge and a sunken bar, covered by a thatched gazebo, ideal for cold bevvy's on hot days! Can't wait!!
