@bost18 i can't play it now, just makes my eyes go funny. There's an app that's like it called planner 5D that I like to use to design a mansion I'll never have.

@hydrazine you never know we might get it! this is my house and garage but I trapped a sheep which kept eating my grass ‍♀️

My dad used to build pools for a living. We never had one because the running costs were too high x

@layer11929 yeah I get that, was thinking with the new heat pumps it would be cheaper than before!

Not a cost but you could use solar/wind to help keep in heated

I want a natural pool but i need a bigger garden first :s

@hoover9 I have seen these but because it’s the UK I think it needs to be indoors/lean too. I like the filter systems for the natural pools
by (1.5k points)
@bost18 if you create a "swimming pond" like this one then you dont need any filter systems just a good balance of plants. However you cant heat it and you will likely end up sharing it with the local wildlife (which is exactly why i want one) xx

@alexandrina I was thinking about obsidian but that is too rich for my blood

@bost18 using mine craft for planning like this is genius  
by (330 points)
@alexandrina thank you, it’s a lot easier to show someone your plans like this than try and tell them  
by (330 points)
Thought I would do it in different areas of the garden to see which looks best
