2 hours of work and 2 sawzall blades later, the green fence is no more. A buddy helped me demo it last night, and wow - it really makes the yard feel bigger!



Here's a shot of our baby play area/tanning ledge. It's approx 6x9, will be under 12 inches of water, and have baby barrier along the outer ledge. That way little Noah and pals can splash around without falling into the shallow end. The 2 pipes sticking out of it are for bubblers.



Here you can see the finished fire pit - 5' of gas burning, energy wastin, heat spewing joy...



Forms for the decking go in tomorrow, and after a week of compacting and watering the gravel bed, the decking will be poured. After that, it's hookup, surfacing, water, and swim!!!
