Haha, I tricked you. I’m not building this pond for myself, I’m building it for someone else.

At least, someone else is paying for it.

A client, if you will.

My clients are my parents. Over the years, I have warmed them to the idea of a pond next to their dining room and I finally succeeded, with the unfortunate help of an unfindable leak in my old pond.

As you would expect from any good contractor, I have presented them with ever-growing quotes throughout the process of designing this pond. Now that it’s really happening, I had to confront them once more with the final costs.

One quick conference call later, I have the green light to start ordering stuff!
