I appreciate the kind remarks. And I know there are lots of great projects out there, the only difference is that we have chosen to post ours in detail.

The main purpose of the farm/lake/cabin is to enjoy time with family and friends. A highlight of each summer is the week I spend here with my two grandsons, Jack (age 10) and Tom (age 7). So after spending two years and more money than I want to think about building the cabin the boys want to camp out . So we camped out on one of the islands. We spent the evenings and nights there and the rest of the day elsewhere. It was really fun. It was a really hot week with the heat index around 100 so we spent a LOT of time in the water and in particular the deep water near Swim island. By diving down below six feet we could get into ice cold water. Here are a several other photos taken that week.

Lyle, those definately are the pictures that need to go in a scrap book for looking at years down the road.
What species of cat is that? Looks pretty speckled to be a CC.

It is a Channel Cat - they range in size up to 8 or 9 lbs and we are trying to thin them out a bit by eating them. We have multi generations of channels which astonishes the experts.

Thanks! The jumping off rock on the island is on top of two other of similar size. They were all 8'x8'by 20 inches thick and were quarried from one of the small ponds on the property. Here is what it looked like right after the island was built. The lake is at it's deepest here, twenty foot.

Does the Krehbiel family need two honorary members? Say a CPA and an RN? Looks like great fun, when you built your place I bet you never imagined how many family memories that you would be creating Lyle.

Thanks Jeff and Brian. When Scott and I bought the property it was for investment purposes but one thing has led to another since. I wasn't even in town when we bought it - it was sight unseen for me. But right away we got to thinking that the topography looked pretty good for building a lake. And during the cabin planning process which took place for over a year the size of the cabin kept growing and during this time it slid down the hill and ended up in the water.
So it ended up being an investment in family, friends, good times, and good memories and hopefully a legacy that will pass down through Scott's sons. It's been fun sharing this experience will everyone on the Pond Boss forum.

Great looking place Scott! Hey if you would have made the dam just a little "taller" your lake from the air would have almost looked like a map of Texas!

Great pics Lyle. Who did the face painting - dog and kid look alike contest (ring-eye)?

Good eye Eric, I hadn't noticed the eye-ring look-alike. The young ladies were self inspired to do a lot of clay painting that day and they in turn inspired Tom to some clay painting. Tom being a boy went for a more basic design.
