Thank you! :)


What if I name it "Tara", would it make you feel better? It'll go nicely with my Tula Chagoi:D
:rolleyes: okay, I would feel better. You'll have to post a family portrait of Tula and Tara when the time comes

If it comes down to, I will hire a photographer but we'll get those pics!:)

Tula approves of Tara :) @Gemma , this is very exciting, I can't believe how gorgeous it's going to be !!!
Thank you!
This year is too late, but I'm hoping next year to be able to add plants and flowers, and make it really nice:)

The liner arrived today! it could not be delivered to residential address, so we used my husband's place of work. It weighs 340lb, it's gonna take some man power getting it home, and installing it

In the meantime I didn't want to take a chance that our supplier might forget to bring us the water meter, so I bought my own. I'm really curious to know how many gallons this pond can hold and it's too hard to trust measurements with this irregular shape, the steps, the stones we'll put on the shelf...care to guess and give your estimate of how many gallons we can fit in the new pond, anyone? It would be fun to see who gets closer

All I know is that my husband took different measurements, and concluded the we needed a 35x35 liner
Love your estimate, anything over 5000gls would be cool!

Okay here's my guess, I'm thinking 4,575 gallons, my qualifications for this guess comes from guessing how many candy corns were in the glass jar at the Halloween dance at the kids school last year, I don't like candy corns but I won anyway, go figure.
