Jim and the Cistern

 Jim wants to put a small ornamental pond on our property north of the house.

 There is a cistern there that he needed to remove. Luckily he has this "man-sized" Tonka equipment for the job.
I asked him if he liked to play with Tonka toys when he was little and he said "Every little boy loves to play with Tonka trucks."
 He was able to break the top and bottom halves of the cistern apart.
It had a few feet of old dirty water in it.
 It just needed a gentle nudge to tip the top over.

 just a little more,

 Ah, there she goes.
Now he just needs to crush the cement into smaller chunks then bury them and he can start his lovely pond.

What fun for Jim, did he have any friends or neighbors come over to play and help him?

Ooooh, that water looks smelly. I hope it wasn't too bad. Are you buying one of those kits or are you installing your own design?

Seriously, are you making a pond? I always wanted a pond but couldn't figure out where to put one. I'm very interested in how this turns out. And do you think I could borrow that mini sized tractor to do some heavy duty landscaping in my yard?
