Wall Foundations

Today the builders dug a tench along the front wall with the digger. A lorry arrived to take the digger away so it looks for the moment that all the digging is finished. An hour or so later a cement mixer arrived to fill the trench with cement, it will be interesting to see what sort of wall they build.

Before he went I spoke to the digger driver to ask if the whole pool was to be 2 meters deep, he said it was. I said I was very surprised as the owners have a young child and I think a pool with no shallow end is very dangerous. The digger driver agreed with me but just shrugged. Well I suppose it is up to the owners to have whatever pool they want but I certainly would not want a pool that was 2 meters all over. My pool is 12 meters in length and has steps down to one meter then a flat bit leading to a slope then a 2 meter depth to the end. I find if we have children round they swim up and down then tend to play in the shallow end or sit in the water on the steps. I certainly would be very nervous with a pool with no shallow end.
