Hi dbs,
the roofing sheets have a built in anti uv so should protect from the sun,
time will tell I suppose.

Hi guys,
been at it again, I’m up to finished level apart from 3 blocks where the return goes, ran out of sand again brother in law only brought me 2 bags.

I’ll order another 10 bags tomorrow as Iv got to alter the filter area,
C4003A56-B98C-48D1-8370-77F35CD8DE83.jpg
im going to take the front wall out to extend the filter area, then build it up, I’ll keep you updated on that.
Iv left two blocks out to take the in-wall skimmer when it gets here,

my total depth is 5 foot, I was thinking of putting another layer of blocks on but for the size of the pond I think it’s deep enough.

think my next job is a good clean out get all the extra mortar out, I need to order my insulation now so I’ll get on to it in the morning, once Iv got the insulation I’ll be ready for the fiber glassing.
anyway that’s it for today guys, I’ll keep you updated as I do bits, feel free to moment good or bad or advice all welcome.

already heard he’s good that’s why I contacted him last year at the start of my build
its took a long time due to the weather.

the wall to the right is coming out so I can make it wider, and the wall at this end is coming out so I can have a door.

Ahhh don't we all just love the new kit coming and getting them last blocks and bits done, ticking off odd jobs getting you to the next stage, very satisfying
