Building a swimming pool in Africa.

[armstrong]

Can we get some kind of perspective because at the moment it looks about 6inches deep.

[Stumpy]

Coming along DW. Have you picked out the color tile you prefer?

[Mendip]

^ I know a tiler who is available...

It's going to be lovely and warm in there on a hot day in Africa

Not yet, I think blue or white tend to be common. I read recently the thing is to have black, because it absorbs heat and acts as a natural heater.

Not everywhere in Africa is belting hot. In fact our location is a little more temperate so we’ll have the opposite problem, it will be too cold.

And you can let your buddy know it’s more than 6 inches deep.

I don't think that would be a good idea where you are. One of the local kids could fall in and you wouldn't be able to see them on the bottom. Safety first.

Plus black hides dirt and allsorts of insects etc


Maybe a blue colour..

Maybe a dark blueish color with a mix of light blue to give you the nice pool look and still assist with absorbing some heat from the sun. Or maybe the bottom dark blue and sides with a light blue design.

You going to have a light installed? I highly suggest it.

Cheers, sounds like a plan.

I will not be using red unlike this pool in Thialand Pool Style: The Wackiest Red Hotel Swimming Pool in The World, Pool tile, Swimming pool tile, Red pool tile | Bluwhale Tile

There will be two.

It looks to be a similar shape as mine around 8x10 1.5 m in the deep end about 1m in the shallow end . Building a pool.from scratch is at least a 6 week job. More if you start in the wet season.. pools looking good willy. The family will be chuffed

[DrWilly]

Rebar going in today. It’s taking shape.

[Stumpy]

Good Pic DW. The cement pour will be fun to pull up a chair and watch event ( with an iced cold bevvy of course )

[Salsa dancer]

Only one metre at the deep end ?

^ black people can't swim, fact. Apart from that bloke who entered the Olympics years ago in the freestyle and finished 25 minutes behind 2nd from last place.

British racist would be the best way to describe you. I hardly post these days, but do notice your posts quite often. This one was good enough to call out.

I think that was his entire plan LD. More of a get wet, stay cool, have fun pool versus a lap or diving pool. With children a 1 meter + pool is a good safe approach.

Exactly, no one is interested in daily swimming laps or eating vegan garbage food. This is about having fun and getting cool on hot days. But it's also a perspective thing, I posted earlier that this will be a depth ranging from 1.5m to 900 mms.

Would it. You've got a nasty streak for one with such supposed moral authority on here but in any case as usual it went above your head, do you actually have a sense of humour or is it confined to lakorn humour

I for one think Willy is to be commended for creating a water hole for brown peoples cattle in the dry season.

[Edmond]

You should see the stories he creates and PMs around when absolutely incandescent with rage!

[armstrong]

It's looking fabulous willy.

[cyrille]

Blimey - Bambino Barbie looks well creepy.

Neither Aging Vagina nor Willy have a sense of humour as we know it...I don't recall either one ever posting in the Amusing pics thread. They're both.....special.
