Shepton mallet in somerset , andy about a two hour run for us ......and its very near Glastonbury:yikes: and yes we are now trying to get finished before it starts, as our route to the job is on the main route for the festival .
Dave ,all i know is its limestone ! and i think its horrible ! the stones have all been bull-nosed and it looks crap, .

Sorry mate missed this post, well john it's called a roller-pit and as the name suggests its where the pool cover retracts to when the customers press a button to use the pool, it will have a few SS access panels that will all be filled with the same stone as the surround and form part of the surround as well, the front of the metal beam will have the stone across the face forming a letter-box that the pool cover will automatically go in and out of to cover the waters surface, the dividing wall between the pool and the pit is called the bund wall, most jobs just the top 30cm are mosaic tiled just in case anyone peers through the letter box, but on this job the whole interior has been done, once finished they are very seldom opened ....... hope this helps , if you want to know more just ask

well that's some serious engineering for a pool cover. and they tiled the inside of it too! i was wondering if it was some kind of exercise pool. and trying to figure out if it would be wide enough for breast stoke! look forward to seeing a few more pics as the job goes along. cheers.

Well i will tile the shallow-end /steps ,then we are away to another job, while they move the drains as they have commissioned a motif for the base of the pool and when i had a look the drains were going to be in the way , so we will leave them to do this and it gets -us out of the Glastonbury traffic , so its over to Malvern or back to the pool in Stroud ( outdoor tile :yikes: ) un till we can get back to finish
