Hey Marty

Been doing some more investigations and spoke to council yesterday too.

It seems that:
1) I need to get council approval (and fill out a DA?)
2) In my local council area, I need a water tank, regardless of how many L the pool is. I need a 2000L tank minimum, which is going to add at least $1000 to the cost of getting this damn pool.

We've decided to go with Saltwater Chlorinated, but no deep end. The one we're looking at is 1.32m, which is ok. The deep end would add about $1500-$2000 onto the cost, thanks to the lining, excavation, installation etc, and for a small pool like we're getting (7.3m x 3.6m) it's just not worth it.

So it's sort of underway. Got an installer coming on Thursday to look at the site and get a better idea on price, where things will go etc.

I'm going to try and do the excavation myself, and also take the sand/crusher dust around the back myself. Otherwise i'm just paying someone to push wheelbarrows all day long (I have no other access to my backyard).
