Day 17 - We begin another day. Lana working on cleaning
the Celtik wall and I'll begin digging.

Day 17 - In the back of this picture is our pond pump house which has flooded several times. With the renovation, we're going to move the pump house into the new pool house and place it under the shed as you'll see. This is in hopes to avoid any further damage to our pump. Little did we know, it wouldn't be the last of our problems. |
