The screened deck takes shape

Posted on by Ian C.

Another burst of work from the pool construction crews, and we have a great view now of how our finished, enclosed, screened pool and deck will look – the concrete columns and cross beams have been placed; with the rebar and concrete fill, this structure might be stronger than the house!
The finished structure is quite impressive! Here’s a few “during” pictures – amazing that this was all done by hand with no machine to lift the cross beams or pump the concrete!

The next stage is applying a stucco finish to all this concrete, to match the house – and then I think we finally get the pavers laid for the deck …

Pool work slowdown

There’s been little progress for the last two weeks on our pool, sadly. A day or two of bad weather, and a few broken plans from Atlas Pools, and all we have different this weekend is a pile of bricks:

Since the tiles two weeks ago, we have had the footings for the screen poured too, but that’s not particularly pretty or exciting!

Hopefully next week we will see the screen columns erected, and get closer to having some pavers laid down!
