The Pool Construction - The Shelter

Almost there. This morning they came and hooked up the pool equipment. Over the weekend, we had filled up the pool 3/4, then the pool guys came and adjusted the liner, hooked up all equipment, and now it's filtering, cleaning and heating.

Then at 1 in the afternoon, this showed up:

... and when the moved the side away, this is what I saw:

... the pool shelter had arrived.

Bits & pieces were moved to the pool...

... and in the burning sun (for a change), the big pieces were moved over...

... until all five elements were placed:

... then the side were mounted and the top placed onto the sides..

.. here's the view from the inside

.. and here's the finished product. It's not perfect, since when the shelter is pushed open, there's still a big space covered, but it's something that our mason can rectify by adding a few stones.

Thursday the pool will have reached optimal temperature, 28°C, and we'll be able to swim...
