Ratch,
We will not cement to the front right (As seen in the pic) until Asher or his team comes to finish the plumbing and install the additional pump. They said this week but no firm commitment yet. I told them the project completion is waiting on them.

Last few pics. We finished up the pool pump room. The pool supplier will have a guy come next week to add the other pump and set up the suction line so I can use the pool fountains properly.



We used left over materials. We went a little over the top as we tried to align the wood height with the privacy fence. I will add some shelves inside to hold my pool chems and pool tools. Just need to paint it after the cement dries.

.

Full size door. I will finish the cement after the other pump and plumbing is done.


Last few bits of the project are pool furniture and we will pick those up over the coming weeks.

Time to enjoy the pool now

Happy Holidays

Thought I'd add a few final pics



Planted the Foxtail palms and moved the potted plants to the Sala area\



Moved the potted plants to the pool bar area and added the pool chaise lounge chairs with umbrella



My view chillin in the sala with a beer in hand....





Solar light and fan installed on Sala.

There ya go..my Cigar dealio...A Cubano from a long time colleague from Florida....

You damn well deserve that Cubana, and break out a long shot of a great whiskey, bourbon, or maybe a super Tequila.

Fantastic! I love a fine Cubano myself when I can get my hands on one otherwise I enjoy a nice Padron or an Opus X with a nice snifter of bourbon. Pappy Van Winkle family reserve perhaps? I missed out on the lottery this year as usual so no family reserve for me.

For context and not my pic...

That is some really good stuff and extremely hard to come buy nowadays.

Cheers Snubs

Mate ... awesome build and well documented.


Only one question.

The water aerators are in chrome.

Given your excellent colour scheme, would a 'copper' look/material not an option?

Thanks David,

On the "Fountains" at the end, they are Stainless Steel and only material option available and rightly so being this is a saltwater pool so copper wouldn't hold up very well.

I am the gardener soooooo I prefer Mendip just stay away ....

With a nice empty wall behind the pool bar I took to finding material to make some shelves. I have saved some unique bottles and thought this is the perfect place to put them out. This was a much bigger project then it looks. Firstly the wood is Thai Redwood and was very heavy. But I wanted something thick that would stain nice and not warp. I looked at the light wood but everywhere I went it was already cracking and loaded with knots that will ended up likely being holes later. Being the wood was so heavy I had to drill all the way through the wall and anchor on the backside and had to locate "L" brackets made of SST that preferably had gusset supports. I found the "L" brackets but the hole size was too small for the longer bolts so I had to bore out all the wall mount holes which was a pain in the ass as SST is hard stuff.



Wood I located. Thai Redwood as its called. Very heavy stuff. Not ideal for shelving if I should ever do again

Happy New Year all.

Another good job done. Happy new year to you too, JPPR2.

^^ The finishing touches have transformed the area, it looks just great!

But mate, are you sure that top shelf is straight...

Happy New Year!

Thanks Mendip.

Yep according to my level it's spot on. Honestly I was amazed I was able to pull it off drilling holes through the wall and actually have it all work and sit level.

I think you should have a few drinks. I found everything appears level after a couple.

Great thread and great result. Well done and happy new year JPPR2.

it does look amazing though

Fantastic result, the whole project.

I'm looking to do something similar, but only 3x8m

Would 500k cover it all, including decking but no bar?

Your really tempting your neighbors with that bottle collection.

CD,
Hard to say quite honestly. That seems like a fair number for guesstimating.

Lots of unknowns such as;

• Will you do some of the work or contract it all out?
• The size of the deck will impact the cost, both materials and labor.
• Will the pool be Fiberglass or tile?

Happy New Year

Happy New Year Cal,

Of all those bottles only 4 or 5 have some booze in them, the rest are empties primarily for show. Now my fridge has a nice selection of beer in it though and a host of various mixers. I do have a camera looking across the pool towards the bar but not to watch the pool bar but for safety so we can monitor it. My FIL is not allowed to go in the pool when we are not home. He can't swim.

Nice one JPPR2. I salute your design and efforts. I hope you and yours enjoy many a new year and as allways keep on swimming. ...


The fish.
