Bruce Keever > The upper and lower ponds begin to take shape. Oh, we were just so fancy. Look at the multi-tier levels of the upper pond. We even used a level.

Bruce Keever > Another view of the formation of Pond v1. Notice the back and side yard. This is before 33 cubic yards of dirt was brought in and sod installed.

Bruce Keever > The upper and lower ponds are excavated.

Bruce Keever > The pond kit liner at top (purple) and a second liner (black) for the lower pond. We'd learn by pond v4 that one liner is the only way to go.

Bruce Keever > The beginning of the underground water and electrical trenching.

Bruce Keever > Water flows between the upper and lower ponds.

Bruce Keever > Some night mood lighting. Solar lights and a few pond electric lamps.
