You and Carl have great imaginations and through a lot of sweat, what a place you have built! It is truly a work of art!<br />Hugs, BethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792341123595520130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-38837442369093850132010-11-06T05:54:03.661-05:002010-11-06T05:54:03.661-05:00Darn your hide!

I guess we were just overwhelmed by the preliminary work and forgot the main reason we were building the silly thing, it is all about the rocks.<br /><br />Donna, I can barely comprehend a pond over two acres in size...they would laugh at our little toy mud puddle! Our pond water levels go up and DOWN with whatever water we get as there is no liner, so some years we literally do have a puddle. The composite material sounds very interesting, hope they have luck with it. I imagine the stone you are using is much larger than ours, too, I'd love to see the project. I'm glad you get my attempt at humor, not everyone does. I'm still shaking in my boots over the snake story...<br /><br />Hello Shirley, back when we started this project, nobody was using big rocks for landscaping. We were sort of ahead of the trend for once. Not any more; it's commonplace in landscaping now. Thank you for reading along as I wander through the process.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-79986571837976249382010-11-05T22:40:42.251-05:002010-11-05T22:40:42.251-05:00Hmm, I don't see what the big deal is?

Looking forward to the rest of the story.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065113724187544247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-58060017450006558882010-11-05T21:30:38.700-05:002010-11-05T21:30:38.700-05:00I love your quarry.

It is not at a farm like yours, but at a home worth a couple million. They also dug a huge pond, but funny thing is, their pond got a crack in the bedrock and will not hold water. They have a hole on the property over two acres big. The client owns a company that makes a composite material that will be injected to seal the whole, but it can not happen until spring. So our work has been also rescheduled for spring. The big stonework is being finished, but the rest will wait. Oh, the headaches of working with stone, cracked stone that is. <br /><br />Great post again. I just love reading your posts. Such humor, is your refrigerator running...lots of laughs. Here we can pick our boulders, but we also are doing the hauling. The quarry people must have all had quite a discussion after talking with you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-51342976244553944192010-11-05T17:16:35.934-05:002010-11-05T17:16:35.934-05:00Well, at least he didn't say he wouldn't s...Well, at least he didn't say he wouldn't sell them to you...<br /><br />It's so funny that you never realized that you would need big rocks to fill up the hole once it was dug. I laughed at the end. What a challenge! And that last picture is just beautiful. Looking forward to reading about how you got the rocks, and how you placed them.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-41832598413117014862010-11-05T17:10:20.254-05:002010-11-05T17:10:20.254-05:00I love this bottom picture!I love this bottom picture!xoxoxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708973250486022637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-89506995171840214482010-11-05T17:06:52.903-05:002010-11-05T17:06:52.903-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Gatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-37426039157118362542010-11-05T17:06:51.840-05:002010-11-05T17:06:51.840-05:00Karen, it is getting prettier and prettier as you ...Karen, it is getting prettier and prettier as you go along.<br /><br />EileenGatsbys Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228978705943696143noreply@blogger.com
