I am really sad;) We have had such a crap summer so far, I have only ventured in a couple of times and then had to swim like a mad thing to get warm. Must get solar heating on it.

I am a true wuss. My youngest practically lives in it though.

Thank god for that. Didn't want to upset you or anything;) :D

Thanks Vash. Strange how you can have a large bit of garden whilst obviously living in a High Rise - that's all there is to the Gold Coast you know;)

It's probably your neighbours' roof garden - or perhaps a giant flower box! :D

Re: Our Pool
 
Can I be rude and ask how big yours is :D and if you dont mind roughly how much it cost, I am just about to start getting quotes from builders so would be nice to have a 'for instance' price - tell me to chuff off if you like !

scissors Jan 9th 2007 11:30 am

Re: Our Pool
 
its almost 10 m by 5.5m and the widest point and it cost $18.900;) good luck with your quotes,take it from someone whos been there,gets lots of quotes learn a bit from each of them then you know what sort of questions to ask

Cheers for that - seems cheap!

I posted a thread a couple of days ago and was gretting back prices around $25-$26k.

Would you recommend your guys?

scissors Jan 9th 2007 11:39 am

Re: Our Pool
 
We had quotes up to 30k,this guywas highly recommended to us so we went with him.
I would say that he does a good job but you do have to keep on top of him hes not terrably organised but he came good in the end
