Posting this at midnight, need to get to bed! I got the pond job but we’re calling it a fountain now. I don’t have to pull a permit for this so we’ll just build it.

Made a template today (in my garage!) because the homeowner wants to see a full sized version of it in the space before we start digging, setting rebar, and pouring concrete. Pictures and drawings are not enough for them to final approve the shape and size.

Tomorrow morning I’ll set it up in the space and finalize everything. (Hopefully)
This started with a quick sketch for what the client described as a “simple oval” reflection pool.
Client feedback: “Not football-shaped. I want it rounded at the ends like a circle.”
Me: “Ah… so an oblong!”
Client: “Yes, an oval.” 🤭
We’ve converged. Here’s the latest rendering of the concept. Let me know what you think and if Nostr is interested in following along.

By the way I’ve never designed nor built a reflection pond before. This will go to an actual engineer if the client wants me to build it. Don’t tell anyone but most of the projects I take on I have never attempted before. 🤫
