Our New Lap Pool

Yeah, it's pretty muddy, but it could be a lap pool for the ducks. We are putting our utilities underground and this is the trench they dug for them. Hey, we live on a lake and the groundwater is really near the surface - but not THIS close. We have had a bit (okay, a lot) of rain lately, so the entire area in front of the garage was underwater because they had to cut our drainage pipe to pour the footers for the master bedroom addition. Oops - guess we need to get that drain pipe operational again. Anyway, the poor guy digging the trench had to take twice as long as normal because the area kept filling with water and the sides kept caving in. The Guy is on his way to the hardware store to rent a pump so we can get the water out of there. Thankfully, there is no rain in the 7 day forecast, so we should be fine getting this completed. (Good for the spring breakers as well!)
