Harv,
I along with all of the other TBN fans sure hope we will be able to see an ariel view once it is done and there is water.
When we follow along we can see the progress, but eventually an ariel view would be great.
Another idea might be to use a 35mm cameral with a wide angle lense. When the film is developed they can put the pictures on a CD. A wide angle lense would really capture a lot of the scope of the project. If you don't happen to own one perhaps the owner of the property has one since you mentioned that he is taking photographs as well.
Also can't wait to see it with landscaping, bushes and flowers and grass. Think it's going to be real pretty. Do the owners see this form their house?
Many thanks for sharing. ~rox
