Cary's New Fish Pond
While Cary was traipsing about in in Minnesota we snuck into his backyard and dug a big hole. Actually it has been one of Cary's dreams to have a fish pond of his very own so Josh & Liz arranged to make him one for his birthday. Here is a photo chronicle of the event.

Hey! Stay tuned - we are not done this project yet so I'll be adding more pix soon!

Oops! There are two big pipes RIGHT in the middle of the hole!

...so we rerouted them to below with some elbow joints and extra PVC tubing.

A fine job I might add...

No kid can ever resist Josh's hair!

Before we told Adam we had a pump we let him try to siphon muddy water from the hole...

Joshua, sportin' a little crack...

"If we put these bricks in front of it no one will notice it!"

The brick Ninja...

The semi-final product, we still need to finish plumbing, electric, plants, fish & final touches.

And sure enough, Cary was surprised!

Whoa, where'd this huge hole come from?

The best for last- Video of Adam siphoning mud!
