It was discovered by the authorities in 1975, by which time it had grown into a 12-acre (49,000 m2) complex of interlinked courtyards, each filled with hundreds of pottery-covered concrete sculptures of dancers, musicians, and animals.

OF COURSE
Get the big ticket item proposal from a contractor, they will do and co ordinate all the work, if you do it right they can also pull permits. you might start with the architect to draw the plans and tell you what is involved and proceed from there or look up a pool company to start with estimates
