And why is that? You can join me in being snake trapper!

because she may end up with cobras or some other nasty viper

So glad you documented all of this in a showcase. Great information. And great stories! Love your pond!

You really have the gift of telling a story. Loved reading your saga.

Thank you! Your pond has also been an inspiration in the build. I kept going over pictures of my favorite ponds (yours included) and thinking about what ideas from each would work in my area. One of the great things about this forum!

Thank you! Cool that you and I have been building more or less in parallel. Although I think that @combatwombat beat us to the fill in the end (or did he?).

Thank you! It would have been longer, but the showcase seems to have unreasonable limits on the number of photos (and probably of words). Probably for the best, though... ;-)

But overall the pond has added far more to the quality of our living space than I could have ever imagined! This sentence should be on aquascapes web page

I really enjoyed your pond story. What impressed me most was the patience and persistence it took to get the reality to fit your mental image. Your attention to detail certainly paid off.

One thing that I wanted to add to the build post, but couldn't, due to the limit on the number of photos was my solution to the predator threat.

Going to see if I can find out how to fix this for you . I can't see any limits in the software, so I'll try and replicate it tonight and get a fix in place for you!

I wish @YShahar taught or youth today or at least the teachers who do as her strength and determination is lost in todays youth. they all believe they are owed. that because they do not have what others have is unfair . what they do not know is the Risks, determination to get the rewards,
She moved boulders of size i know of very few others that would even try, and if they did would probably end up in the hospital. She also had stairs that everything had to come down to get to the site.
She is not alone but part of a rare breed, we have several on this site who fit into that category, The world needs more just like them

Thanks, @Ian ! The message I was getting was that the post could contain no more than 20 photos (which, admittedly, is a lot!).

Aw, thanks @GBBUDD ! Though I'm not sure the world is ready for more of this particular rare breed! Not enough good single malt to go around! ;-)

Ah! I've found the setting, this limit has been increased to 50 now .

Cool, thank you!

I'll fill in some missing details on the pond build.
