Beautiful!

What a transformation from your first pics of your backyard.

Thanks Jim. We definitely will not miss the old out of control forest we had.

Thanks Former! It's not quite done yet but we're really happy with the results. Now the fun begins. Keeping the water balanced and everything looking like new. Thanks for hangin in there with me/us throughout all this, and I'll definitely be posting more questions...plus final pics of the completed build. Hopefully in two weeks.

Well...yes. The waterfall has been mortared in, but we're holding off on turning it on until it dries a bit. Hopefully, by the weekend I'll have some pics. The landscapers are coming back tomorrow to finish what they need to finish. Including the piece of flagstone I knocked off trying to get to the skimmer cover. Ooops. My bad.

I also ordered my test kit yesterday so I'll be able to do my own testing instead of relying on their readings. I'm sure they do a great job but I want to know for myself.

Just ordered your test kit? I thought your PB was giving you one. Drat.
