The pool tiling was finished today, including the fitting the “highlight” tiles, and the grouting!

New “puddle lights”

The first mod for Black Knight! A bit of an easy one – actually really easy, just a few seconds to pull out the stock lamp on the bottom of each door, and connect the replacement.

There’s been a lot of discussion about these on the MINI Countryman facebook group recently, and I ordered mine from Way Motor Works – delivered in just a few days, great quality; I liked the fact that they are labeled “L”/”R” for the doors, and I like the subtle mod result.

Pool tiling

It’s been a week since our last pool update, but there was only one “dead” day – we had permits signed off on the plumbing & electrical conduit, and all the plumbing ditches were filled in.
But now today, there’s real work happening again with the installation of the tiles around the pool and hot tub. It’s more than one days work, but there’s progress already – including our first view of the waterfall design, which is even more impressive than imagined!

Here’s some views at the end of today’s work, including a view from above!
