Subscribed, should be a good read

Thanks to everyone for your positive feedback and supportive comments.

We are now trying to get the pool into my garden...









Needless to say, this did not work!

get them to drop it on the road on top of a few decent broom handles


then just push it down the path.

Can we make bets on how long it will take to fill??
My local swimming pool isn't even as big as that.

It would take a week to fill with a hosepipe. We are getting bowser's of water!

Im sure a Blastoise would be more useful than a Bowser



Isnt Bowser a fire type anyhow?... and he'll just kidnap your princess!

That was going to be my question... How on earth do you get that into the garden?? Good luck with that. The driver is going to earn his money today.

How much does it weigh?

Fair play on this build. Think you own ph right now!

Rent a massive crane and just lift it over the house

Why do people feel compelled to comment on the cost? It's rather impertinent, and certainly none of our business how he spends his money.

He wants a pool. He's said why it's important to him. Now he's providing real-time entertainment for those who are interested - if you're not interested, don't watch.

Don't know if PH has a "like" button but if it has, i have just pressed it

I think I would be quietly sh!tting myself at that point

Presumably he tried reversing in as well which would have possibly altered the angle? Though I guess then he'd be stuck inside rather than out..

What's the worst that could happen.......

Love this thread BTW - Can I do it? Someone on PH says yes. Right, let's do it!

[Fastchas]

I would love to be involved with trying to get that in situ. Going home at the end of the day must be a good feeling of a job well done.

[JulianPH]

Phew!!! At least it is off the lorry and down in one piece. Now to get it re-strapped to bring it into the garden...

Thank you very much! We now have a bigger problem than we thought getting it into the garden, but have managed to get a crane coming straight out to us.

No idea, could be a week to get it to temperature using the oil boiler and the solar cover and air source pump should then keep it at temperature until the colder months (September to July!) when we will use the oil heating again.
