    If they had been clever the slope could have been towards the bottom drain

    Well you can leave it with the slope and when you sell your house say it's a swimming pool and then put a diving board over the deep end

    The perfect crime

    The other half has already taken first dibs at swimming in the “pool” before the fish go in regardless of the weather....... I promised to photograph the event through the windows

    Not exactly sure on the volume yet as the height above ground is dependant upon being about 3 brick courses above the window above the decking level.
    so it looks like it will be 1.8m deep x 1.8m wide x 4.5m long = 14.58 cubic metres inside the block work so multiply by 219.969 to give UK gallons = 3,207 gallons excluding filtration.

    Yes my thoughts are with all current pond builders......working between the rainstorms......hot sun......the only thing I’ve not seen at present are the Swarms of locusts...closest thing has been the mozzies.
