Keeping character, or restoring a pond

[wroughtn_harv]

The rippley look on the pond is the rain starting. After taking the help home I came by and it was big mud hole.

Oh well, we only have a forty percent chance of rain tomorrow. That means we have a sixty percent chance of it not raining, not bad odds in my book.

Sunday I got away from this job and worked out some frustration on some straight pipe.

I'm building a twenty five foot pipe sliding gate.

We don't want it to look like anyone else's.

We have come to know that everything you do is unique. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Great work. Keep the pictures coming.

Harvey, if you take out too much frustration on that gate it will no longer be original.....it will be identical to mine. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Can't wait to see the finished unique gate!

Since it was too wet yesterday to work in the pond we moved all the equipment out from under the carport. Then we used the mini-hoe to scratch the base fill. Customer had mentioned he wanted to concrete the area if we had the chance.

Opportunity knocked.

That's a fifteen by thirty slab. We've got seventeen or eighteen mixer loads to do this morning to complete the pour.

We put the base we removed to good use.

That allowed me to get in and out of the pond in the afternoon.

I got to play with the rock stairs a bit.

Harvey,

Looking at that great looking rock, then seeing that old wooden bridge, I'm wondering if you're going to let that remain. Seems a nicely arched, rock bridge would really set that area off!!!

Something along the lines of Don's bridge would be amazing.
