Holy RED GRAVEL-Thread-Hijack Batman! My eyes hurt now...
TUG-Remember to account for the water being absorbed by your 4 acres of filter media, all the trapped air pockets in the pipes getting filled & whatever water the killer Costa Rican sun is evaporating. It looks great & I hope your kids are swimming soon!

We tried lowering the skimmer, but it didn't work. Instead my guy lowered the entrance to the skimmer with a tube. I think we'll end up cutting the tupe and just lower the whole entrance.

Here is an interesting way to build a cement railing. The steel beam will be filled with concrete and then plastered around the sides.

The edge entrance to the pond will be raise about 2 inches to give us some water height.
