It took us hours to drag the kids out of the pool, and in the end we had to bribe them with promises of sweeties as it was getting too dark. We sat out on the terrace and had a lovely barb-b-cue in the evening sun and admired the work done so far. It was rare that I had an evening off so I wanted to make the most of it.
The next day back to work, it was tiling again!! As if the men hadn't seen enough tiles already. First the steps were put in the pool and then the large surrounding tiles. We ummed and ahhed about the type of tiles for the rest of the plage, as we were on a tight budget and they aren't cheap. As you can see from the photos we opted for a sort of crazy paving, it was more difficult to lay, and longer, but sooo much cheaper. They turned out to be a good choice, neat and not slippery as so many other pool tiles are when you get out with wet feet.
My parents-in-law had to go back to the UK at this point, so the final works were up to us to get finished, we already had several weeks booked...beginning the next month....I needed to ask for some time off work to get finished in time.....
