@EF1, I wasn’t sure where to post this, so please move where appropriate. Thanks!
June 2024. Started planning everything and clearing land.
Got the pond dug and driveway built. The old Cat 426 earned its keep!
We had a few setbacks, as is normal. Along with many other good times with friends and family.
Fast forward to a few months ago to save the boring details.
Jan 2026. New well installed by Mitchum’s. $6500. Highly recommended.
Transformer and power run by Berkeley Electric, all free and underground.
Slab poured 2 weeks ago. Ordered the lumber package last Tuesday. That includes framing, trusses, doors, windows, etc. Hoping to start that in 2 weeks, or less.
I’m making a natural swim pond between the house and the big pond.
