Preparing the Pool Surrounds

The edges of the concrete around the pool needed to be trimmed to suit either two or three full tiles

In this shot you can see the line along the back edge which is two tiles wide ...

... and here the surrounds are three tiles in width

.

.

In the above shots you can see that the area around the skimmer box needed to be smoothed out
and here the grinding is being done ... looks to be a nice clean job !!

.

There was also a small area near the gate that needed to be ground flat

Laying the tiles around the Pool

First job of the day was to put up tarps for shade from the thirty-plus degree sun !!

As with the pool surround tiles and 'bullnose' edging, this area needs to be primed before tiles are laid

Work now begins on the pool surrounds

The End of The Day

Wednesday 16th November 2011

The tile laying continues and the grouting is also underway ... firstly on the tiles ...

... and then the 'bullnose' edging

Once dried, the grouting along the expansion joints is removed and these will be filled with flexible silicone

In this shot, you can also see that the drain in the corner and the one under the tap have also been fitted
( I am not sure what the remaining white pipe is for )

Cutting the tiles to go around the skimmer box
