Bitjumper's Amazing Swimming Pool to Pond Conversion

[Evo]

Well, my friend bitjumper has an article about him In Better Homes and Gardens about a conversion he did from a plain old swimming pool to a beautiful pond. (Yeah he's the one that invited me to Germany )

Anyway, what he did was truly gutsy and turned out beautifully. Here are a couple of pictures from the article. This is where his swimming pool used to be.

I love his ponds. Does he have real koi swimming in them?

If I made my own pond I would have to have some cattails surrounding it.

I'd much rather have the pool.

Yes, he does.

Oh cattails would be good. There are cattails up and down my street along the runoffs and the ponds.

Very nice! I like ponds, and the plants and flowers.

Maybe a pond that you can swim in would be better.

We have a pool, and a pond. The pond would be good for you.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. One of my favorite movies

thats really awesome though. i love ponds. when i grow up... man, I'm such a little kid aren't i? but when i grow up, i want one in our yard. probably a bit bigger, and one that can freeze over in winter to ice skate on. that'd be fun!

Very cool garden and pond.

Welcome back bitjumper.

 

[hypatia]

Oh I just love that pond!

 

[Moonbear]

It's gorgeous! What a way to transform a backyard into a tranquil retreat! (Though, I'm in agreement with those who would have voted to have a pond you could still swim in.)

How big is Bitjumper? and is he coming to England any time soon?
