Okie dokie, here are some pics of the spraying. Dunkel did an impressive job, extremely careful in all aspects of getting good coverage. Didn't skimp one bit on materials. I am a happy camper! ( I have a great shot of Rueben's shoe that got stuck in the rubber...I shall leave that one for blackmail at a later date though...)

at one time Reuben gave it a shot with the spraying.... here is a pic of him trying to retrieve his shoe that had stuck to the polyurea. Reuben's advice? Don't wear slip on shoes when spraying a pond! Duh.....
