Scott, I am simply amazed at what you guys have done with this project. I like many other here have built a pond/home retreat it was my dream from a very early age. I think this project deserves a front cover and article in PB mag. It would inspire others who have this dream and have just not followed it threw. It would also be a great topic at the conference for new comers to the PB world and life style.

Scott,
Thanks for the update. I always look for your posts when I'm on here and find what you are doing to be very interesting. While building a pond is pretty exciting, once it's done, there's not much to it except what you build around it. I think Pond Boss is really missing out by not focusing more attention on what people build around their ponds. To me, that's what makes a pond unique and special. You have made your pond very unique and maybe one of the most interesting ponds in the nation!!!!!!!!!

As a "why hire someone if you can do it yourself" type of guy, I'm simply blown away at the quality and scope of the work that is getting accomplished. My hats' off to you!
Nice sized Bullfrog to boot! I'll bet the kids are in heaven playing around and fishing in the pond.

Scott,
Thanks for keeping this post updated with pictures and commentary. The pictures are very good. Like others have stated, this is one fantastic project.
All the kids will one day realize just how lucky they were to have a place like this to spend time and explore.

The solar system is five panels and 12 batteries. I'll post more of this when I get photos.

Quite a nice package... The house, the pond, the property and of course family. Very nice!

That is one first class cabin, great job, makes me think about building a small cabin overhanging the pond so I wouldn't have to walk the 150 ft. down to the water. Fantastic place you have.

Scott, as everyone else has said - what a great read! Question: i dont recall any discussion of plumbing for your cabin. Doesn't look like you have plans for any running water, correct?
I'm curious because we have a good well on our place, and have been considering water to the cabin, which sits on one of the lowest elevations on the property right next to the pond. But running drain lines uphill (with no electricty) is tough, and we don't want to put any refuse in the pond of couse.
Did you address this in some manner at your place, or just doing without?

Scott, the last time i read all the way through your thread (which is really inspirational, by the way; thanks for taking the time to share all your experiences), you were beginning the solar power installation and i see the system nearly complete in these latest pics. That is something we're strongly considering as well. Can you share any tips on installation or startup issues? Any particular manufacturers of equipment or materials?

That cabin is uber-fantastic. Not much more to say than that - Scott, we're not worthy.

Scott is my brother in law. We spent the evening and also overnight at the cabin last week. Fantastic. The pine wood "knotty?" is great. My girlfriend got to do two things she's never done, kayak and catch a 5lb. catfish. I also caught 4-5 bass around the 2-2.5 range. What a great place, I could have spent the whole week out there. Thanks Scott, we had a great time, I hope I don't owe you too many more Budweiser selects...
