We are looking at Citizenship soon Loving life here in Queensland. I need to start the ball rolling on citizenship especially as my British passport expires in 2020 and I am not intending to renew it. Can’t see the point in paying for two passports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul1Perth Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 You could have got yourself a decent lap pool that you could actually use on that block. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metoo Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 No, we definitely didn’t want a lap pool. Wouldn’t suit our house or our needs. None of us are big swimmers, we wanted something that looks beautiful and where we can relax and cool down on hot days. The pool guys are out there now but I have to go to work now. Will post some mor pics later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 We'll get round to a pool one day... They aren't cheap, I guess you haven't got any access issues! I'll look forward to the updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benj1980 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I prefer the idea of a concrete pool, not really sure why. Looking good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, we asked advice on whether to go concrete or fibreglass and we were told that cos we have sandy soil, the concrete would be better because the fibreglass tends to move and ripple with the water table. One of our neighbours has had to have a 7 yrs old f.glass pool ripped out because of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulya Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 What have you selected for filtration etc? I serviced many pools over the last 30 years, very interested in your choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newjez Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Is it salt or chlorine? Someone did tell me you couldn't use salt on a new pool. Don't know how true that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
