December 2006 – Swimming Pool YAY!

We finally have the quote for building (digging?) a swimming pool. This will be in the area in front of the stable block. The bank and trees will be moved west about six feet to make the pool slightly wider than the current flat area. The pool equipment will be installed in the old hay store. There’ll be a patio around, and a “roman end” which we find popular with kids of all ages, far easier to deal with than a vertical ladder. We’ve paid a deposit and signed an order and the pool should be built during the first two weeks in May. We’ll fill it at once, it might be a tad chilly in April but should be nice and warm by June.
