Another Thursday another session with the architect. This time we went through the plans that had been further refined based on our feedback. We talked about 2 possible roof types for the rear of the house – a flat roof or pitched roof. As always, the one we liked, the pitched is likely to more pricey. We’re going to go with it for now and see how things go once we go out to tender.
Still debating on where we’ll put the pool. The latest round of plans has it turned 90 degrees to the way it was before. It still means that you have to go through the pool area to get to the grassed area. Not ideal. We’ll keep plugging away on it though and hope that we can land on the most elegant option sometime soon.
On the weekend we went to have a look at some pools. Firstly, to get some idea of sizes and secondly to see whether the fibreglass pools look any good. We have agreed now that 7 x 4m is the way to go. The extra width is important, especially with the kids wanting to jump in. From a materials perspective the fibreglass looked ok. Ballpark price is about $40K though. Given I thought that concrete would be around $60K then the savings aren’t as big as what we had thought they might be.
