Pool - almost ready to jump in?

Pictures just in from Pujols!  The main building contractor has been on site for the last week, working on the tiling and paving around the pool.  We understand Monsieur Feltin and his team are there today and this week, so hopefully there will be significant progress by the weekend.

The pictures below show the story, with the last couple of shots being the latest news from Pujols . . . .

On our Easter visit, the courtyard was gravel and sun (above).  Then the diggers arrived.

 

Within week 1, the hole had appeared and a layer of base layer was spread. Note the shed in the back of the covered courtyard - this will get removed as work progresses, to open up the shaded area even further. 

 

Our last blog reported that the water meter had been tested: 

 

And now, voila! A concrete screed appears around the whole area:

 

With the screed down, the final laying of the tiles and paving can progress.

Laurence is off to Pujols this weekend, for a final hand-over with the contractors.  And perhaps a dip . . . . ?!
