    This pond is as good as it gets. You got everything. A "cliff" jumping spot. A deep end. A nice swimming area. You got the bridge to dangle your feet over and chill. You got a waterfall/river/stream area. You got the deep pocket of water right before the waterfall in the waterfall area to maybe sit in or it could be be cool for kids. You got the other area to sit in and be in the water chest high or sit in a chair and be chilling with your feet and a beer in your hand area, maybe with a parasol. You got the ankle-shin deep area. You got the dock areas to sit and chill or sun bathe. You got everything for everyone in every situation. The only thing it's missing is a water slide.

    Want help moving big liners like that? Use commercial blowers. Blow air under it, acts like a hovercraft. We use it on rubber roof membranes if too big. Usually we can just flap it and get a little air under and move it. Blowers would help you even more.

    • @royormonde3682
      @royormonde3682 3 года назад

      Ya but roofs are flat, I doubt it would work on uneven surface, especially ones with extremes in elevation like this....the air will just blow out the side of the first level never reaching the lower parts. There's nothing smooth there like a roof.

      @Sahadi420 6 лет назад +2

      not at all....
      This is fantastic, but you have to remember when selling the house: "Who wants a $400K house that has a freaking pond in the back of it. And who is in the market for a $400K house that has a budget for another $400K with the pond?"
      It's like pools in general.....some want it, some don't. A pool adds physical, and monetary maintenance to a house....you have to find the right buyer. A person in the market for a half mil pond wants a 8 mil house in front of it.
