Ladies and gentleman summer is coming and I'm such a sucker for swimming and a beach. So when I heard about this man who embarked on a long project to build a natural swim pond in his own backyard I was all over it.
I mean how cool is that? I would love to have that on my future property. So let's check out how it all came about.
Here's the original area where the pond would eventually be built.
The placement of things changed over time, but this gives you the overall idea of the design.
Here's the rough excavation of the swimming hole end and the drop-in where the waterfall ended up. Quite the endeavour.
This was a good idea.
In this case, it was 60 tons. Wow! His wife and son helped to distribute it all over.
The stones came in three sizes: large, bear claws and eggs, and some pea gravel. Impressive!
No wonder this project took about three years. Holy crap! That's a long time.
This took some trial and error but worked out in the end.
I can't believe people undertake such elaborate projects all on their own.
Now it's looking good!
Good tip!
This is truly amazing.
I mean, who needs a vacation from this? Wow, I have to say I'm super impressed.
It's the perfect place to relax in the evening with your dogs.
