Well the game is a foot as Sherlock Holmes is quoted as saying why ??? well after a year of illness plus the birth of his daughter last Jeff year is now set to finish the ponds cosmmetic side this year.
So far he's dug out a yuka plant and a large fushia bush leveled the earth around the pond and has laid the sheeting to stop weeds etc from growing.
Tomorrow hes going to shift and lay a whole dumpy bag of gravel then the next day we are going to set about the painting of the decking .
We are going to also paint and varnish around the edges of the pond.
He's also built me a walkway around te filter housing giving me easy access to the filtration and their slide Valves .
Then all the koi have to go up on the walls of our house and around the pond area .
Next year we will paint the retaining wall and add fencing add some plants and bushes around the pond .
But we can report that the cosmetic side is fast getting done , and Jeff says when finished it will look great , we will finish it off with the tile that Val's cousin had engraved for us with a koi and Dave and Val's pond which I think you'll agree is a nice finishing touch
