Repairing and thoroughly cleaning this pool turned it into a wonderful outdoor feature that added value to the property.
The project
We are converting this huge old mansion in the southern suburbs of Sydney into a 2 x 4 bedroom dual occupancy by reconfiguring the interior and adding a double garage.
We will live in the end with the pool and spa and rent (or allow our kids or parents to occupy) the other end. While plans were being approved, we got stuck into finishing off the pool. It had been left in this state of disrepair for about 12 years. The smelly muck we shovelled off the bottom – yuck! They are the same coping tiles in both photos. A pressure washer worked wonders.
