They are to take out the side wall of the existing pond, rebar into it and create a free form 'L' off of the original pond. The existing pond is deep and would become more shallow after the pour to incorporate it into the new section, but that would be fine as a resting/viewing and feeding area. Then the quote comes- ready------ excavation, rebar, pour ( pumper truck) and basic drains ( no filters as they are clueless). Raise 2 feet to meet a future decking, and no grading, finishing or decking. -------- $ 60,000. I suggested that they look for another idiot. JR

Hah!!!!! I'll come out and do it for $50,000.LOL
