Instant Pond

[bindian]

One year, six months, ten days.......who thinks about retirement?

BTW Wasn't Texas dry as h e double hokey sticks last summer?

Nice property!

Iowachild,
Yes, all of Texas was in a drought last summer. We have had numerous large trees die from the drought. Lots of Texas is still in drought and needing rain.
Good luck in your retirement!
hugs, Brandi

I moved the pump stuff back out to the dam and tywrapped 2/3 of a house brick to the strainer and screwed it on the end of the hose, that had a 100 foot rope attached. When ready to sink the strainer, I just went around the pond and pull it in position. Real simple. So I am a mud/pump engineer again.:laughing:

Brandi, we must be related in our family trees somewhere. That's exactly what I used, a brick and a heavy nylon cord to pull the suction strainer from the far side of the pond. What was it that Yogi Berra said? "It's just like deja vu all over again." That's the way I was feeling as I read your post.

Jim,
I could have used my late Dad's Aggie Bowling Ball, but it makes a terrific door stop.

Glad the rope worked. Still wish I had the water. Still no rain here.

Well, I'm not left-handed, but I have been called underhanded a few times.

If that's all you've been called by now, your a lucky guy:laughing:

Jim,
Lefty is a nice nickname. Undie wouldn't be a good nickname.:laughing:
