Keeping character, or restoring a pond

[rox]

Harv,
In the Rural Living Forum check out my post about for those of you building ponds. I think you might find it interesting.

In the last month we've gotten about eight one hundredths of an inch of rain. Needless to say it's affected the pond project. We've got less water. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

The client called Friday and told me he had the lights and all the fountains working. So yesterday evening we went over for coffee and cake (it was his birthday).

We'd always talked about how the deck out over the water could probably hold a car.

I decided to see if we were right.

We can no longer walk all the way around the pond. By the water falls there's an impediment, a squatter actually.

She's got five eggs. But he's got the attitude. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The water's down to where the pillars supporting the floating boulder's exposed. But you can still get the idea of what it looks like when the fountains and the lights are on.

Normally this pond is a running stream with water coming in and going over the spillway from September through May or June.

The deck and grotto with the fountain in the day time.

It's a little different after dark.

It was a good project and turned out well. We got lucky.

Yeah, you did. Hard work, experience, ingenuity, and know how do tend to bring "good luck" to a job. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif It sure is pretty.

I'd think it was more like the client got lucky in who he hired.

Thanks for the updates and new pictures. The pond looks amazing and I'm sure everyone involved is very proud of a job well done!!!!!
