Exciting times! That looks great. I bet the kids are bouncing off the walls.

On Friday they delivered the water. Swimming in 52 degree water didn't last long, but it happened. We've been in the pool every day since. Yesterday it was warm enough to feel good. Yesterday they built the retaining walls for the downhill slope. They turned it into two terraces with rock...

Excellent. Must be exciting times for you and your family. I hope it goes smoothly and as expected.

Here's a demonstration of how much the land has changed. rBplHi9MQMQ
