We do have a lot of projects but it takes us years to complete them. We had planed to put a pond in 15 yrs ago and just about the time we were ready to start we developed a sinkhole right were the pond would go. We drilled a few test holes and found that there was a spot on the property were there had been trees buried and as they decayed the land settled. So we waited until the land finished settling and gave it a few more years just to make sure. The upside is that we will not have to do as much digging just give it a little more shape and depth. We though we might have been able to get it started last year but we where waiting for the rocks. Our new neighbor dug up huge boulders when they put in their basement and they had piled them along the edge of their property. I talked to them and they were very happy to get rid of them and offered to move them over on our property when they had the equipment come back to do some other work. We never got them until fall. So the project got moved back another year. Here are the rocks I was talking about. One of them has a natural basin in it, with an edge that kind of fans out. That will be where the water falls just before it goes in to the pond. That's my youngest Son Jamie and his son JR. just to give the picture a little scale and because Grams's rocks are fun to climb on. LOL
