Pond Renovation/Remake

[DannyD]

And of course you have to get wet when doing this type of "work".

And finally getting some leaves out of the pond. I think I need a bigger net. In all the photos of me in the pond, I am walking on my knees, Pond is about 28" deep in the middle

Danny,

I wont say the silly thought that came to mind with you in the pond. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

But I will tell you that it looks really nice. It'a larger then I thought it would be, which is always a good thing. I also think that the waterfall is going to be even nicer then the one you wanted to save. Sometimes good things come from not being able to do your original plan.

Keep the pics coming,
Eddie

Honey, I swear I thought the tractor would float, or, WOW, now thats a deep puddle.
Danny that's shaping up nicely. Will you stock with any kitty amusements?

All the best,
Martin

I hope to get enough done ( ponds never are done, just done for this year) to get some fancy goldfish in it. Getting the falls done and the line for the pump buried is next, then I will have more filtration. The shore of the pond will be a work constantly in progress. My guess is that we will have fish in it in a month or less. Being as hot as it is here, working on it during the day or early evening is not an option, but looks good for later this week as it cools down some.

Well here it is a few weeks later, a few degrees cooler and dryer. We went to the fish place today checking on some things, and we had to bring home some new residents.

Also found these, very bad dog, soon to be very gone dog. See we have this leash law in g'town, and this dog just got on my bad side. His owners have been told, and out of respect I will tell them one more time.......keep him home or he gets a new home.

Also a bit of plant life to add some color, buried the hose from the pump to the falls, and now waiting on the lava rock (from a friend) and get a few more flat stones for the falls.

Hi Danny,

Looks like you do things differnetly in Indiana. Here in Texas, we try to get the liner in, the waterfall in and have it all tested before buying fish and plants. Obviously you have more confidence in your workmaship than I do in mine. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Just kidding you. I can't wait to see some finish shots of the waterfall and landscaping.

It is called motivation Eddie, see now I have to get motivated to finish out the falls, since we have fish and plants........or plan b

The wife said they were going in, and I had no say in the matter, she wanted fish in the pond!
