Hey I have a bit of envy seeing your project.

I keep telling my wife I want to buy an old farm field that is about 200 acres and take out about 50 to make a pond ( my own little lake ) and she ( being originally from NY city ) looks at me like I have gone nuts and says yeah just what we need a bigger hole in the ground for you putmoney into and get lost in!!!

She is not a nature lover like me. When we first got this house and property, prior to building the pond, there were tons of wild trukey and pheasants in the backyard daily. She came in the house screaming the first day when she let the dog out. She thought they were going to attack her!! Ahhh I guess love truly is blind!!! ( on both parts )
