Yes, that’s how intermediate terraces are rebuilt your builder will know the sop, including taking photos, permits, legal, bracing etc

You're not in Singapore buddy... how do we order?

Someone has to pay for it… you can negotiate for them to pay, but ultimately you’ll be paying for it, one way or another…

What you’re trying to do is to minimize any excuses on your side for him to fire back, then you address his extensions play the gentleman first ☺️😉

Maybe you can run a cable and have garden lights instead ? as others have said - such high level lights will definitely shine into their homes give and take 👍

Sharan you asked whom did I use: it’s in my profile Charis and you can Google them but they are full up right now, if you can wait, talk to them. Not a great time for any work.. All the best 👍

I might add that - you need to work with your builder on the design and choose the counter current system wisely. If it's something you will use a lot, get a good one even if it costs more. The hole in the side of the pool is meant to fit one brand and sometimes only one model.

You have certain requirements and a tighter budget, so it's best to consult your pool builder.. I took the suggestion my builder said based on my budget.. The cheaper ones may not have the needed adjustments or have the power you need, so it's best to talk to the pros..

He scams, you spam...

You can overcome any system if you swim hard enough.. Get one with a variable speed and power if it matters. You should get your pool builder to give you some suggestions and costs soon so that the shape and design can accommodate this system. It's like a treadmill : you build cardio, not just strength..

You can look for hugger ones or 20cm drop ones. KDK, Haiku and many brands available

What are the maintenance costs ? you can hire someone to come weekly for around 70–100 or you may consider DIY tasks: - check PH - see what kind of filtration system you employ some need topping up of chemicals regularly - top up chlorine, either with a floating tablet or powder. I use powder forms that I get from pool stores Eg Proline - cleaning - clear leaves; suck debris, sweep or brush the bottom - you can also buy a robot which ranges from a few hundred to a few thousand - clear the leaves from your pump system - clean the pump room - backwash and flush so only you can decide if you’re up to it or do you need help and labor isn’t cheap right now

Responding to an old post and talking about not wearing masks 😷 I guess you’re not a local spambot

Is there sewer work involved? I had to move one toilet and do the needed sewer work. Paperwork and plumbing and sewer pipes cost 15k for that toilet alone and they had to dig really deep as the foundations were pretty deep so they had to dig under that for the new pipes .. so it might really be around there..

The wood patterned tiles is a good idea, I use it in the backyard. The catch is how hot they get, but they will last a very long time. For the covered areas, having wood under my feet feels great, but you always need to understand there are replacement costs. It may last longer when it's out of the sun, but it's still subject to wear and tear..

either one is fine but know that if there’s direct sun the lifespan is around a decade or so My builder did it for me, you can google charis and ask for a quote. Just know that building costs have gone up a lot now if you’re getting Chengai make sure it’s not young wood.

Does the price include the toilet bowls and sinks etc ?

Wow, hopefully the house itself wasn't affected? Re attic level: Thanks, I was put off by the price - 150k back then, so I went with a pool instead. The builder said the foundation were good, so when they dug the pool, it was simple. They also braced the walls and despite some heavy rains, the build was done in a month or so. But they did not dig very deep.

Just curious, how often does a rebuild cause serious issues with the neighbors? With an intermediate terrace, there are two sides and not a lot of room, so it sound pretty precarious... Or is it easy to add one more layer? I know you need a PE etc, but typically can you strengthen the existing structure and top a half layer to a 3 storey?

You need a transporter to get from here to Ohio...

This is interesting, so if a house was built post 1991, it should be ok?

Your contractor will have sources pool companies will have some or go online to shoppee and lazada will have both items even the intercom too. Just check what features do you want, does it require the use of your phone etc then you will need to go online and google for sellers which can answer your questions I just wonder why your builder can’t help... builders have the largest list of contacts

Three years warranty is meaningless - my pool builder did a decent job building but then he’s gone and so will the warranty most important do the build right

There are many system, just look for those which can be installed into an existing pool... https://swimworldpool.com/endless-pool-swim-spas/

BTW bro.. it doesn't mean that if you post in many threads, you'll get more answers.. probably less.. There are only a few peeps in the forum who are helping.. the spambots outnumber the contributors right now..
