The pond is no more!

When we moved into our new house, our backyard came complete with a very nice pond full of lillies, a waterfall and lots of stinky algae! Although I'm sure it once looked beautiful, it just isn't something we're going to be able to keep up with. The deciding factor came when our dogs just could not stand the temptation to run through it numerous times a day...therefore smelling like stinky algae too. Between laying laminate floors throughout the house, Jamie decided to take on an outdoor project as well. We decided a fire pit should take the place of the pond. This is the progress made over the weekend....

With the help of a friend, Jamie took the pond out, leveled the ground, and used the existing stone to make a patio. He plans to build stone around the fire pit and run a gas line so we'll have a gas fire pit. So proud of all of his work!
