Ah heck, I'll post a pic of that too:

So far they've only framed the exterior walls that will hold up half the backyard, there's going to be a second inner tier of walls that will form a 3 level terrace stepping down from the upper level to the lower level. about half of the long side will be sealed, so at the top there will be an stone bowl that water pours from, down the face of one of the walls in to a shallow pool, then down a second wall in to the lower tier, which will be 2 feet deep and 5 feet wide. The plan is to fill the bottom tier with water lilies, and the middle tier with marginal plants. However, I'm half heartedly trying to figure out if there's a way I can make it a salt water fountain and fill it with animals you'd find in a BC tide pool hehe.
