Day 2 & 3

It is amazing what they can achieve in 3 days, it actually almost looks sort of like a pool! I will admit though that I am surprised at the shear size of it although I have been assured that we will loose 20cm on every surface.  The 'Wading' area which will be 500cm deep IS bigger than I thought it was and have noticed that it is perfect size for me to wallow with a drink in hand of course..  :-)

Yesterday, they did half of the formwork and today they finished digging out the deep end and the formwork.  The digger driver showed his skill in maneuvering the bobcat as there was a couple of times I looked out the window and saw it teetering precariously on it's front wheel bits.

It was also a stinking hot 36degrees today.

Getting ready to start with the formwork.

 Almost finished

 See that little triangle thing across the corner? These are Steve's beer drinking seats, there is also one across the opposite corner.

 Formwork finished! WOW, looks a little like a pool.

 Looking from the garage.

 Two more soakwells will be put into this hole.

 Deep End

 At front is the Wading area which steps down into the shallow end.

Tomorrow the plumber is coming but we are expecting a bit of rain so I am not sure how much they will get to do.
Till then xx
