I'm doing everything myself except for the pond (due the fact that I don't have the machinery/man-power to move large boulders. Or a trailer to haul away dirt. The pond is only 1/2 done and about 10 trailers full of dirt has been hauled away.

We dug something up in our yard


And the digger


And progress for today

That pond liner is tough enough to withstand all that eh?

[phi delt reefer]

how much more would it have been to put a pool of similar design in the back?

Man-o-man Dez, that's a nice setup you got going on there. I can help myself but to daydream of what it would look like in my backyard that is until my boss snapped me out of it.
Extremely jealous.
I want it. nice work buddy.

This is actually our 10 year anniversary present to each other, but it's been 11 years already. We got a whole bunch of gift certificates for the pond company for our 10 year anniversary. Can't wait for it to be done and we can just enjoy it.

Well, the rain last night set us back a bit, but it was "dry" enough to work in the afternoon. At the end of the day the pond guys were kind enough to help me lift my bridge joists in. The kids LOVE running across the bridge and all around the rocks. I think that this is a much funner yard for them than just grass. We can still do slip 'n slide in the front yard on the grass.

This is where she sits today
