The thing is, we negotiated with pond guys such tasks a few week ago, but didn't agree on terms. Huge was our surprise when arrived on site we saw following: Freshly dug pond Well, not completely, pond guys called me and informed me, tey couldn't finish works today as they need to pump of the water from pond.
