Hi Folks...

.have one Freedom FI but too expensive to buy another...soooo...here is what I am thinking about trying and wonder what you folks think..

Use 1" 4x8 insulation sheet (lowes),
break in half and cut (I use a hot wire) in desired shape
; put Great Stuff between layers and underneath;
use leftover insultation/foam to form hill/mountain;
cover entire 'island' with leftover liner & secure with Floral pin/hot glue;
cover island with pond soil and moss sheets;
may cut holes for some plants.

Actually am thinking about using landscaping trees from village days and making it look like a mini island with pond, beach, etc.

Thoughts please....thanks so much...Sharon
