    Who is the manufacturer of the Fibreglass? Riverina?
    The heat pump? :D Go do it then dip in!

    I'm guessing your happiness is reflected in your extremely sexy avatar ;)

    Buccaneer Pools, they are one of the largest suppliers in Perth.

    Overall good service, cost wise, probably most competitive.
    Riverina I have heard are also very good, however it was an additional $1000, also they did not have the full ledge in the pool, (that's for sitting down and sipping wine)..... an absolute MUST.

    Looks great. I like minimal paving too. Will the lighting go in the garden beds or in the paving?

    Me too, its clean. Thanks

    lights will be set into the stone, I have seen this and looks slick, I like it.

    The problem is how long is a piece of string, I now realise the outdoor furniture is dated and I need to upgrade this.... geez, this exercise is actually costing a fortune.

    Yup it's a slippery slope, then your new outdoor furniture won't match your indoor furniture but you have the world's best couch and that HAS to stay!

    yes, you have to follow guidelines and as part of the quote, we pay for temporary fencing for a 3 month period.

    I will take some more photos when fence is completed.

    Time for an update, we have had the frameless glass pool fence installed, around $3600, this includes a coating on the glass, helps to protect from dirt, stains etc.

    The ground lights will be installed this week, they arrived from China today and they are excellent quality, very impressed.

    Here are some happy shots of the glass fencing as you can see the glass is brilliant for smaller areas. Also spring on the gate

    Its now completed, partner worked all day installing these lights, done and dusted, now just waiting for the creeping roses on the rear fence to come back, they have been severely pruned, we saved them.
