Today the constant focus was on the leaking pool! Everyone on sight was looking in the pool house every 15 minutes. It is uncanny that just days before our first guest arrives everything is moving at such a pace - it would have made great TV! _ I applied to go on one of those programmes but at the beginning we seemed so organised and I guess dull ! but how the pressure has changed. Today we have 4 gardeners, 4 plumbers (dealing with the arrosage and pool heating), 2 Electricians, Thijs's team of four, the pool equipment specialist, Ludo the earth mover and Karen and I! I have now done something like 80 runs from our house, through a field to pick up the gravel and return. We have laid 230 tons in two days. In fact we are working at such a pace that we have swapped delivery companies so that we a are getting 17 ton deliveries at a time.
Our gardeners have been fantastic, the terraces are being gravelled showing the plants to their best.
We think (and pray) that we have found the cause of the leak and so we re fill again. It will take another 24 hours.
Part of the garden overlooking the pool, as yet not full!
The pool, filling up and not leaking! the decking will be laid tomorrow.
