Richard you mean there's a pool under the woods and the carpet??
That's cool!
When are we all going for a splash?? And some playmo play??!!
  :lol: :lol:
Cheers

Yes, Gaston!

There is a pool underneath the carpet and plywood.

The pool is all finished. It has a pump, filters, etc.

We did not plaster the pool because we are never there for a long enough time to use it.

The wood frame is not attached to the pool. It just sits inside the pool like a big wood table frame. The plywood is like a table top. It is only attached to the wood frame. If we wanted to make the pool ready for swimming, all we would have to do is remove the wood frame, plaster the pool and fill it with water.

And, if we filled it with water, it would be perfect for Playmobil Pirate Ships !!!

Too bad you are never there long enough to fill it up. :(

No need to feel bad for me, WoT ...  ;)

The pool at our home in the Caribbean is a lot better for Playmobil Pirate ships ... ;D

That is such a great view Richard!
Wish I had someplace good to sail my Playmobil...
But all I have is the bathtub. :-\
Now that I think about it though, there is the hot-tub... But it is still not as nice as your pool! ;D

Thanks, WoT!

Great pictures Richard. I hope they come with the typical disclaimer of:

"No playmobil was harmed during the making of these photo's"

Do I remember correctly that you posted in another thread "somewhere" that these were actually picture where the plane was thrown? (hence my request for a disclaimer!)

No Gis,
Richard has magic levitation powers...
He never throws his planes,
But as you can see there is not string! :o ???

Just look at this thread here: Dinos on Location
If you find the picture of the flying pterodactyl,
You will see what I mean!



Thanks, WoT!

Loved Dinos on location.
But I'm still puzzled about the flying Playmo.....   :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:
