The liner's been out of the pond for a couple of months, folded [or more precisely, wadded] and forgotten about.

We had an extra helper yesterday, so pulled the liner out so we could inspect it, clean it, and measure it. By cleaning, all I did was rinse off the surface mud, small sticks, and gravel -- stuff that was still there from when we removed it -- sucker is HEAVY, so some things just had to wait until we were ready to put it back in....

MY CONCERNS:
  • rats [or squirrels] would have gnawed holes
  • it might not fit with the renovations to the pond
But, it looks like it's in good shape and ready to go into the pond! Yeah! The size is good, with plenty extra all around for the berm There was even a nice layer of algae that had survived and will be a great kick-start for new growth -- as long as the fish don't shave it all off within minutes of putting them back in....
