These, weirdly enough, are the steps up to the pool,
covered in Sao Tome stone, which is nicely absorbent
so non-slip when doused with water.... safety first as always!!!



Another view of finshed pool and deck...
The Sao Tome suppliers were a nightmare.....only delivered
40 sq metres of the required 60, then argued and refused
to come and measure up and then grudgingly supplied another
10, and managed to prolong the job by more than a week.....then
the stone powder for the final cement layer arrived but too
little and half small stones....another week waiting for them
not to rectify the situation....oh the joys....in the end we bought
more stone and more stone powder elsewhere....
It's not all fun and sun here you know....
Did I tell you about breaking my leg????



And just in case you haven't got the hang of it yet,
this is my pool.....in Brasil, where I live....has anyone
been paying any attention whatsoever at any
point at all or ummmmm, not????



And just so you really know it's not all fun and sun,
this is the truck that crushed my front entrance
(oooer missus).....
