What a great story. I hope you kept a day by day journal throughout the whole project so you can write the book! I built my own house from clearing the land to painting the walls. I religiously kept a journal and it's a hoot to read. BTW I just smoked the engine on my dozer. Needs a rebuild. I'll drop it off if you'll do her for me! That's right you just got married. Probably don't have the time. You got a great find there if your new wife shares you pond aspirations.
