Hey Doug, is this the one you built yourself?

[Mr. Glass]

My and my dad have been building this up over the last 10+ years or so. Now that I am out of school I am putting a lot more time into my side of things. the waterfall is more or less my design - a few technical aspects like a drain line under the liner was added by my dad, but the look and basic build of it is from me.

This is more than just us tho, it takes an entire team to make this happen. There's a contractor with his team of 4 guys working under me - they mix and pour concrete, lay the liners, and do a lot of the grunt work - I mostly play in the mud and water placing the larger stones and supervise the Mexicans, otherwise they don't work. Not to say they do all the hard work, but there's a lot I just wouldn't be able to do, like PROPERLY mix concrete, lay block as fast, that kinda stuff.
