I hear you dude, unfortunately there are too many pipes running under my backyard for me to ever have a pool.

An in-ground pool maybe, but what about a snazzy above ground or inflatable pool?

An above-ground pool?, unfortunately not because of the weight that they carry when filled.

The pipes are quite shallow, roughly 4-6ft we're told, and there is about 6-7 other house's sewerage lines that join to the Princes Highway's main Sewer line immediately running North-South under my backyard.
As these pipes are pushing 80 odd years old and the ground is clay 30cm below the surface, we've been told that due to weight restrictions we can't have a fixed/permanent above ground pool.
Interestingly enough, there isn't a property along the eastern side of the street that has a pool for 500m North or South of us, part of the old practise of draining creeks and throwing pipes in them.

An inflatable pool has often been considered, but then the problem then lies in it's storage when not in use.
It is a good thing though that we've got a community pool within 15mins walking distance and the ocean within 15mins driving distance.

You lucky bastard

Wish I had room for a pool...

bout time

Thanks 5FDP but yes The_Damned brings up a very good point. My pool actually took 18 months to build and was an absolute nightmare. Blue Haven really screwed us over so yes I am lucky in a way but as great as the pool is I will always have a sour taste in mouth because of what Blue Haven did to me

Man I am sore, but it was worth it.

Was at Soundwave yesterday, the bands I saw all kicked ass. Rob Zombie, words can not explain how awesome he was. Seeing Super Charger Heaven played live, I literally lost my shit. My neck doesn't like me right now, but damn it was great. And the other highlight for me was seeing Dimmu Borgir for the first time in Oz. Lost my voice during that set, but eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
