Ooh err, that's odd. There were two pics there :confused: Now I need to find them again :lol: We used Burleigh Pools, don't know if they come up as far as Brissie though. It was built in 2006.

Weird! we got burleigh pools guy around today, spend 2 hours with us talking and drawing up colour plans there and then, really, really good guy and can see from the drawn plans it would look awesome but now we need to decide if it will be cheaper to move house and find one with a pool already! I quick look on realestate.com and there isnt much around, if they have a pool the house isnt as nice as ours. Need to think if we can justify spending 20k more than our last pool cost to build!!:confused:

It is difficult. Our house was fairly rank to be honest, we just fell in love with the block and knew the house was solid enough and that we could do what we wanted with it. If the house had been nice and the amount of work needed not so obvious, we wouldn't have been able to afford it and wouldn't have had the pool.

You can go round and round in circles not getting anywhere fast :blink: Burleigh were brilliant with the job, the design and gave us numbers of guys they use for landscaping etc so we could employ them ourselves and saved some money. Only thing they let us down on was when the Husband wanted more info on the after care, they weren't very helpful. Not had a problem with it though and they started and finished earlier than they initially said.
