We have had a long and stressful experience with the pool
but it looks as though we are nearing the end. We were advised we were not allowed to proceed with our
chosen paver and directed instead to choose a natural stone. The reasons behind this seemed spurious
to me and having challenged the site manager, the pool supplier backed away
from this position. We selected Travertine in the end just to avoid any further
conflict and the landscaper (A Turner) did a fantastic job with the installation.
They even replaced the plastic skimmer box lid with a piece of travertine with
a handle which looks beautiful.
We had some difficulty with the safety certification after
the certifier advised that we are now breeding exceptionally agile toddlers these
days who can somehow single-handedly scale a 2M fence and then (tight-rope
like) balance along the top edge of a fence before nimbly climbing down the
other side into our pool area using the thin metal fence bracing to spring to
the ground! Surely such superhuman babes are likely to be able to swim.
After many tense emails and wrangling over the financial
status, we have finally had a call from the pool lining folk who are coming in
the morning to line the pool – hoorah. Everything else is looking good.
