Keeping character, or restoring a pond

Here's a view of the tri-deckta. But now it's a bi-deckta because a-deckta is under water. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Here's the overflow working as it was designed.

This is from the deck out over the water looking at the grotto across the pond.

Here's the wood bridge that was the last thing I worked on finishing up this phase of the pond project.

Tomorrow after the flooding has subsided I'll have some pictures of the pond with the water level at the stage it'll be at most of the time.

The client told me tonight that before the flooding we got real lucky on the boulders and how they appeared when the water at it's normal level.

Here's another shot of it tonight.

Nothing like trial by fire, eh Harv? Looks like it's all holding up just fine though. Can't wait to see some finished pics in the "normal" state /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

That's exactly what I was thinking, Rob. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Harvey, it's nice to finally see "a plan" come together so well. I only got 3" in Sunset, so my pond "crater" is still just less than 1/4 full. After it dries out enough that I can walk around it without making mud shoes, I'll get some pictures posted in my thread too.

I know your client must be thrilled with the results so far. I can just imagine that he's like a kid at Christmas. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Jim, according to the story in the newspaper this morning, Harvey's photos, and other posts, you and I must have gotten about the least amount of all. I got a total of 3.7".

I think that was an understatement Jim. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

But I don't think he was the only dawg with a tail doing ninety on this one. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I woke up at four thirty this morning and was over at the pond about quarter of seven just in time to enjoy good coffee, wonderful sunrise, and pick up a DVD the client made yesterday.

Let's start from the beginning.

This pond has to fill up first.

When that pond is completely full then the water graduates to this one.
