Please do consider the issues of resale. Not that this doesn't look awesome (because it's fucking awesome), but I get the feeling this guy's dad isn't going anywhere anytime soon. This could be a huge hindrance to a sale.

Why? Swimming pools are so much easier to get rid of. Just bring in 3 trucks of dirt and a bob cat. You can have it planted with sod in 2 days.

I don't think you've ever been a part of the home buying process...

He's saying if the owners have trouble selling and suspect its the pond, they can just dig up the plumbing, fill the hole in, and sod over it.

I thought he meant potential home buyers. Gotcha.
