Back to work then!

Well,having had a few days at home in sunny Devon,the time has come to crack on with the pool install.
The first job was to remove the work previously done and raise it up 60mm. A concrete pavior was just the job.Concrete was then used under the pressure plates and around the ground supports.

Now its ready for screed.I have decided that I will treat the screed as two separate sections as the deep swimming area needs shaping and will be slow to construct.The benefit of this is also the top edge of form will act as a screed rule guide for the large flat areas!

done!

The screed was 4:1 mix with coarse sand from Wickes.The large area had ready mixed screed with retarder to give a longer working time.It was just as well the delivery was super early (7-45am) as it was a very hot day and the shade soon went,leaving blistering sunshine!
