Swimming pool



We decided to build a swimming pool instead.

Mud,mud, glorious mud.



Foundations nearly finished. Wellies needed!

 

It's coming on. Plus Spring views



Can you see Bill (above) and Carol (below x 2)?
(Not waving but drowning? - just kidding!)



This is the pathway opposite the house:

And just around the corner from the path. (White flowers either side are wild garlic. White shapes in background are sheep and lambs (der) ):

There will be a forced march down here when you next visit!  

Next stage in blocking up

Pale grey blocks will be underground, level with garden. Bricks on top will be finished floor level once concrete is in. 

Lounge wall. Lounge will be same size as Boundary Drive but a bit wider and with a bay window. You can see gateposts and shared courtyard wall in background.

Front looking towards side.

Two views before start of build!

View from above (obviously!)

We are top left opposite the house top right.

These are the gateposts and external garden wall

(Picture from an online source - poor!)

Will post up to date ones when we take some.

Stage one of housebuild - the stakeout etc.

Hi
At last the house was staked out on 28th March!!!  :)

All the family went up to see it on 30th. Couldn't believe that the diggers were in already and foundations were dug out. Concrete was due within the hour!
Exciting - as Bill said 'Oh S----'.

We're going to see the concrete in a few minutes with Paul, Vicky and Riley. Good way to spend a sunny Sunday morning in Hawick eh? Watching concrete dry!
