All in all it's a bargain, and it looks amazing. Life is for living and remember there are no pocket's in shrouds!

You have a beautiful home you’ve worked very hard for and it’s well deserved. Enjoy every day. Thank you for sharing your story with us ❤

I know the majority of your audience is probably your friends & family back in the U.K. Just to say, I am native Texan and have followed you for a long time just because I enjoy your "British-ness". Glad youve made your Florida home so pretty!

Well worth it you are gonna love that pool and the surrounding gardens for years to come, also looking forward to see what dog you get. Greetings from Warwick UK

The pool seemed extremely good value! Well done ! ..my guess to the cost was $160000 ! . So pleasant surprise when you finally told us ! . The pool will bring you so much pleasure ❤. And .....sorry Max ..but I think Baz is right about the shower control ( but I am left handed ! 🤭😂) . Well done on your beautiful pool 🎉❤

I agree w/ Maxine, sorry Barry. Point it toward the hot or cold.Top to point. Glad the bathroom is finally done. It's beautiful.Your outdoor area and pool is also beautiful. Now you can enjoy it !

I agree with Max on the direction of the shower handle. The top of the handle points towards the hot or cold markers. Just like the fuel shut off valve on a motorcycle.

£££ you can't take it with you. Enjoy yourselves you deserve it . Lovely couple. .it was a lot more than I expected I was guessing 20 to 30 😃❤️❤️

I think you are right Bazza, and at least you found what the problem was with the drain , love the shelves too! Xx

Hi guys great vlog and great value on the pool keep safe Andy and Vonnie

Good Vlog guys. Agree with Bazza left to hot right to cold

Your home now looks fantastic the pool area and garden looks amazin also enjoy it guys live life like you do 😎😎

Absolutely delighted for you ❤enjoy

I was with you Bazza on the shower but then I could see your take Max so now I’m undecided. My hubby thinks like Max. 😂

I think it was a bargain! Worth every cent, you'll get so much use out of it - there is nothing better when you have high temperatures than being able to cool off in the pool!!! ENJOY!!!!! ❤

Hi guy, regarding the shower handle I'm with Maxine turn to the right for hot and left for cold 😂

I’ve loved following along on the pool and all the refurbishments on the house, you live in a holiday now! 😂❤

Sorry Maxine....Barry is right on the shower valve!

Good to see that you have both realised your wants over property value. Life's too short. Enjoy your hopefully daily dip. I'm envious. Today in UK we reached 18 degrees in my garden. Best so far but boy oh boy have we had a soggy winter. 😍😍

Hi guys all looks very very nice great job, in regard to the shower control its how you interpret what you are seeing I believe you are both correct personally i go with Max but again its how you see it, keep safe Andy and Vonnie

Thanks for sharing. I guessed $100k but your pool is really nice. We are from Wigan and bought a new build in St. Cloud similar to yours and thought about a pool but you are correct that you will only re-coop 40% of the value on the house but who cares? Enjoy it. We might go for a large paved area and spa instead. I think you got a great deal!!! Appreciate your channel!

Love your home, it’s beautiful. I’m with you Bazza on the controls in the shower, I said straight away that’s the correct way. Let us know the outcome 😂😂

My mindset is the same as Maxine’s on the shower controller thingy 😅 bathroom looks stunning! Xx

Pool looks amazing and less than I thought. Be interesting to do a vlog on the running costs eg chemicals, maintenance etc. looks like a great financial and personal investment. Thanks for your honesty and openness, excellent content.

Agree with Bazza on the shower valve 😀

Hi guys, you have been extremely patient with your home renovations and it is absolutely beautiful 😍 Well done 👏 Wishing you both a relaxing finish to enjoy all your hard work ♥️

Great vlog as always I think that’s a great price

Hi ! I'm new to your channel after seeing you with Ben & David. really enjoying seeing. your house transformation - an epic journey but what an amazing transformation. Love the pool and you now know the bones of the house are good. Emily x

I'm with Bazza on this one

Just finished your vlog in U.K., wow what a brilliant deal we were trying to guess and I was expecting $120.000 as you say the pool is for you to both enjoy not to add value. If I owned a home in Florida I would have a pool and it’s beautiful. Maxine has made a fantastic job of designing and styling your home, well done max ❤❤

SHOWER SAGA: I agree with Barry, the way the shower handle swings is the way I'd expect the temp to be - swing the bottom of the handle to the left for hot, swing the bottom of the handle to the right for cold. If there was a marker on the top of the handle (a grooved line or something) then I'd agree with Mrs B ... but there isn't?

The bathroom looks amazing. I'm with Maxine re tap. I really enjoyed this vlog, thanks guys.

Hi Barry & Max Pleased you guys got the shower plate all sorted with minimal damage, love the shower screen now it’s fitted it really finishes the look off. Sorry Max but me & my husband have to take Barry’s side re the hot & cold shower control!! How much😂 you guys have got an absolute bargain of a price for your pool & it looks amazing & well worth every penny xx

Another great vlog guys 👍 Sorry Maxine but I have to agree with Bazza on the shower hot and cold 😂

Really interesting vlog, I’m in real estate and renovate properties myself so really enjoyed this whole Reno journey. Been watching the channel for a long time on our personal account. We’ve been getting quotes for a pool in our villa in Dubai. Here an 8m x 4.5m basic pool is about $50k without spa, $70k with spa (including ground works, pool and pump room) and closer to $80k with landscaping/ tiling around the pool. I’m sure you’ll make many new and amazing memories in the home.

Must say with all the changes looks pretty awesome. I bet N and L can't wait to come and stay! Glad the shower got sorted , it's a tough one which way the H and C moves , even my wife and I were not agreeing lol

Thanks again for sharing. Our financial advisor told us last year it’s everything else around the pool that costs. We are currently building our backyard in NJ. We went for the spa, waterfall and a pool house. Spending more than you did but about in-line.

I'm with max on the shower controls

Sorry Mrs Bazza - I agree with Bazza on the shower knob! But congrats on a beautiful home, it’s really coming together wonderfully!

Think you got a great deal. It’s a lovely pool and enjoy it. Wish it was ours x

I agree with Barry about the shower controls.

my shower control is set to the hot as Mrs Bazza recons. Barry as a engineer you should have thought this plus the wife is always right! LOL Dave from sunny Torquay, watched all your postings brill

I’m so glad you went over the whole pool thing and the prices because I’ve always heard 30-40,000 to start out here in California but that was several years ago. I was also happy to hear how many gallons because my water company was saying I was using 33,000 gallons a day average. Come to find out they were just guessing every month. I found out when I called them and questioned why my bill was so high when I don’t have grass at my house and 2 people they said they would come out and check. They put in a new meter and my correct bill came in 2 months later at 88 gallons a day. I won’t have to pay for a while. My first bill said $3,000 but they took off $1,500, that’s why I called in the first place to find out what was going on.

A very honest and informative video. You work hard and deserve it. Enjoy it. How much does it increase taxes . I used to service a black surfaced pool in celebration and it was hard work. It was black gravel and it was so hot in the summer and difficult to control. Keep up the good work

Mrs Bazza is (of course) correct. My "guess" on the pool was $110k but with the birdcage separate AND extra. 😮

I was spot on with the price! And that seems good but must be like another mortgage for you , glad you are enjoying it all though xx

Pool was dearer than I thought, interesting 😮

Loving the vlog. Still watching it but with the shower sorry Maxine but I would point the handle in the same direction as Barry. This might be incorrect but first try I would move handle towards hot or the cold ❤❤ now to continue to pool pricing your just reading out

Beautiful pool area and for what it’s worth I think you got a bargain, as for the shower valve I’m with Bazza. 👍👍

From what you was saying initially I was expecting about 150k so under 100K sounds like a bargain, I think you made the right choice to get one along with a spa rather than just extending the area, if you also think you’ll get about 40% of it back on the house price it sounds great. I agree with Barry with regards to which way the lever should move for the hot and cold

You can't really enjoy living in Florida without having access to a pool. The cost of your pool is slightly less than I thought, I guessed, around $120k. BTW, I'm with Maxine on the shower control😂.

Cold left and hot right. I'm with Maxine....I'm florida next week for 2.weeks...fancy a drink you guys?

I agree with Barry on the shower handle. "Bazza Knows Best" Cheers!

I have a shower faucet with exactly the same issue. Ours works the way Maxine thinks it should. Ours actually has a small arrow at the top that indicates “point this towards the temperature you want”. Sorry Barry. Loving your videos! I only just found you through watching “Cruising with David and Ben” when you invited them to your home and pool, and they threatened to never leave!

Lovely bathroom 👏👏. Fortunately we had our bathrooms done last year so no additional expense 😬. Mrs B is so pleased her choices match those of Maxine’s 🤣🤣 Your expenditure certainly brings home reality for those seeking that Florida Villa “10 minutes from Disney” that they hope will bring in the cash Thank you ❤️❤️

I absolutely love your pool, it’s worth every penny!! My vote for the shower valve goes to Baz though, sorry Max!!😜

Another interesting vlog. # 1, in regard to the shower I agree with what ever Mrs B says, and the bathroom is very posh😂 #2 I think the pool was a bargain, it’s an investment. Besides the benefits of having a pool outside your door, it also has health benefits. Downside it will attract the lodge guys 😂

Definitely the way bazza says for the shower 😂

Barry your 100% right (Sorry Mrs Bazza!) if it was the other way round, I'd think someone installed it back to front!

I'm with Barry on this shower valve! Honestly for that gorgeous pool I think that was an excellent price, you did well that's for sure.

I’m with Bazza on the direction to turn the taps 😂

I'm with Max on the shower control 😀

I am really loving your videos

I agree with Bazza on the shower handle. 😊

I'm with Maxine re shower water

6:31 I just spit my drink everywhere! LOL Cheers!

We agree with others who've said it doesn't matter how much it costs, as you can't take it with you and, as long as you enjoy it, it's worth every cent. We also agree with Bazza about the shower handle (although we understand Max's logic). Thanks for all the videos.

Great deal that Barry, looks fantastic. You’ve spent a few bob on that house now!

Loads of work, but looks fabulous.

I’m with you Baz on the shower, because it has a lever. BUT, if it had been a round control I would turn it anti-clockwise like Max. To me, the lever makes it obviously a turn clockwise to hot. 😆

Watch your vlogs all the time….love you guys and your honesty. We will be moving to Orlando area soon and want a pool….always grew up with one. Can you share the company you used ….they did a fantastic job.

The pool looks fantastic… by the sound of it you’ve got a good deal and just think of all the enjoyment you’ll both get! Also I think you’ve both been stars surviving no pool for that long living in Florida. I don’t live there (England brr) but have visited Florida a few times over the years and at different time of year and know how hot it can get.

I must admit I thought the cost would be a lot less based on the pool my Mum and Dad have in the UK....It then dawned on me that they had it first built 45 years ago 😅 .. You're going to get a lot of pleasure out of it for many years to come. You guys worked hard for it, now to reap the benefits 😊 I'm really pleased for you

Sorry max I am with baz with this one I think you got a great deal on the pool

We’re with you bazza

Both me & my wife agree with you Baz 👍🏻😊

I’m with bazza on the shower control 😅 unless it had a little arrow on the top that actually points lol x

I'm with bazza on the shower sorry maxine 😂 but love your bathroom ❤x

How much!!!😊enjoy

I am thinking what you will need soon is the hand rail by steps I am about 5 years older and it makes a difference to help in and out.

I would say the shower is set as you turn the handle for the temp. Your pool was worth it, 40% value on your property now, but your property value will increase in time again, so you'll easily get the percentage rate up in time, so you'll recoup the lot. Just have a long retirement to enjoy it. Waiting for the garage refurb and the puppy to arrive.❤😊🎉😅

Well I think it’s worth every penny, it’s absolutely gorgeous. Xxx

I prefer the top pointing to the direction of the temperature. I agree with Maxine

Looking lovely. Swimming pool amazing dose not matter how much it’s cost. You have worked hard to get it .everywhere looking nice.you can now sit back and enjoy. Thanks for sharing x

We are with Maxine , direction based on the top of the tap. That’s how it works here in Malta. 🇲🇹 Think you now have an absolutely stunning home and yes I am nagging re our bathroom ….. The pool under 100k worth every cent. . Enjoy 😉

I think I slightly agree with Barry re shower controls but it makes sense both ways 😬

Definitely with Mr Bazza on the shower controls - no arrow to support Max's thoughts I'm afraid!!!

I think the shower handle goes the same way Barry thinks. But having an arrow etched on the handle would help lol.

Have to agree with Mr. Bazza on this.

I am with Barry, but husband agrees with Maxine! The pool looks amazing and is a beautiful addition to your lovely home. Love all the up grades you have made. You have very good taste Maxine! Did Barry have any opinion or left the choices to you? Thanks for all you share.

With Maxine on this one - the top points to the Hot or cold 😉

I think you need a support bar for the shower screen (for the glass panel adjacent to the shower door) - for safety reasons. It is not secure when it is only fitted at the bottom.

If I get a pool I will be in it most of the time when I’m home. I didn’t know they were that much but if you love being in the water then it’s worth it especially if you’re retired.

On the shower, sorry Maxine, but (for once) Bazza is correct!! I know I’m shocked too!! $100,000 or approx £80,000 really strikes me as good value! I would assume your property is now worth considerably more. And definitely more desirable. Lovely vlog guys. Been fun to watch.

I agree with Barry on the shower valves

I would have to agree with max the handle goes in the opposite direction so the top is pointing at the hot symbol

My instinct would lead me to follow Max on the shower control. 😅

Thanks Virgil…

I agree with Baz with the tap sorry Maxine

Maxine for the win! Sorry Barry. The bathroom is beautiful and I’m jealous of the pool. Well I’m in Maine so no pool here. Enjoy it all!
