Our Island Retreat

When the pond is fixed and is holding water we want to be able to step out of the house and enjoy the water. There is a peninsula already built into the water so we will be surrounded on three sides by water. Again, the previous owner had a great idea just didn't do enough with it. The peninsula slopes down and isn't something you can mow so the weeds just get very tall and block the view. So it is Oklahoma red rock to the rescue again.

 This is what it looks like right now. Not much of anything just those stupid tarps., Just need the vision of what it can be. We are doing a lot of visualizing.

 We brought more rock home from the rock yard. The delivery forklift brings the rock to where we need it to be. You have to drive down the driveway, over the go kart track, down the hill to the peninsula.

Now, to make a wall and build dirt up to it. This will take many loads of dirt which means it will take time since we work six days a week at the yard and have to have some relaxation. But soon wWe will have a wonderful place to enjoy the water.

We already have the bench ready and waiting to be put in place. The front rocks are nice and flat so they can be used as seating also.
