They poured the slopes on Saturday morning. They sure were whining about working on Saturday. I wanted to tell them what I tell my kids "suck it up, buttercup!" lol It's looking more and more like a pool! I just can't believe it's finally being finished after all of the time we have waited! I'm so excited! I just hope everything goes smoothly as they continue.
Here are the slopes
The view from my upstairs window. It's through the screen, so not a wonderful picture. You can see the pond in the background. The poles are for docks which we will build in the near future. It's hard to believe that in October 2012, that began with one scoop from a big excavator! It's nearing being full. It's completely from run off.
We had a beautiful visitor on one of the poles one day. They usually just stand in the water.
We have three horses, two ponies, two donkeys, 40 chickens, 6 cats and 1 dog, but this is our most popular resident....
His name is George and he's the hit of our farm. He loves to be around people and strutting his stuff. Thank goodness for the auto cover, because I'm afraid George and his chicken friends might try to explore the pool!
They are back to work today, working on cleaning the concrete and installing the laminar deck jets.
