French Pool Progress – Concrete Evidence We’re Actually Building a Pool!
Would you believe it took FIVE attempts to get to this stage? The universe certainly tested our patience with delay after delay:
But finally, the sun is out, and we’re making progress! The birds are singing… well, actually, the geese are already migrating (a bit early, but who can blame them? It’s still chilly here in France!).
This pool is truly one of a kind! Designed to fit our space perfectly, it’s crafted using a custom framework of rebar and bamboo to shape the structure. Once in place, it’s reinforced with shotcrete or concrete, creating an incredibly strong and durable build. This method is known for its resilience, and with a 10-year guarantee, we’re confident it will stand the test of time!
Join us as we finally move forward with the pool—because this time, it’s really happening!

Congratulations on your 60th episode as well ❤
Am so excited for you! As you said, the thought of getting rid of the mounds of dirt will be wonderful. I am already envisaging the completed pool, the tiles, the landscaping, the grass, the pool parties, the entertaining and the freedom to enjoy and use your outside as things progress bit by bit inside. (Am I getting ahead of myself…. 😂)
Wow at long last. I was wondering why you hadn’t posted any videos and voila here it is great video. Interesting pool construction. Once all filled and the yard cleaned up it will look beautiful and be wonderful for swimming and for just looking at. Glad you are back posting
