The making of the pot leaf pool.

We have a nice size swimming pool available for our visitors/clients, with a special bottom logo. The next pics are part of a slide show intended for the project’s website.

We had a few truckloads of big rocks brought in, meant to enforce the ends of the terraces.

Diego, the man with the machine, is an expert in puzzling with rocks, he can read rocks like I can read Dutch.

Materials and construction workers on the job.

I have never had a swimming pool made before, but the way they do it here was surprising, as I did work on a few pools as a construction worker in my early twenties.

The steel enforcement is in, the plumber starts tubing the pool up.

The concrete was made on the spot and projected on the floor and walls with a special nozzle, the water is added in the nozzle.

It does go fast, in the blink of an eye. This way the company garantees the pool will never leak nor break, it is one solid piece of enforced concrete.

We have two nice sitting levels made on one side of the pool, you don’t have to submerge to stay cool.

The mosaic guys are doing their thing.

Most pools in Spain have Dolphins on the bottom…

We filled the pool with water from our own well, then added 200 kilo’s of sea-salt, the pool is eco, makes it’s own chlore from the salt. very skin friendly.

A bit of concrete around the pool, Maruska protects the marmolina for cement spots.

Hard work, no fancy pumps this time, a wheel barrel at a time.

Puzzling in the flagstones.

The pool was made before we started renovating the farmhouse, note the difference between this picture and the next one.

The Farmhouse now consists of 5 apartments, we live in one, we are renting out four. The apartments all have a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, a bedroom and a terrace out front. The apartments will be available from May, at 100 euros per day for two persons, includes a daily local treat. I will put up the apartments this week, will make the last pics as soon as the terraces are equipped with plants.
