I signed up last week and started off with a question without a proper introduction. My name is Art,I live in Le Roy NY and I'm retired.I live in a Limestone Georgian style home built in 1831 that is surrounded by corn fields and woods. I'm a DYI'er with experience in woodworking, plumbing.electrical. tile work and just about everything else around the house. At one time I was describes as a "jerk of all trades". I have always wanted to build a pond so this year is the year I'm going to do it. I tend to research things a lot and typically will spend a full day on the net or in the library before anything major. Since I have no knowledge of what it takes to build a pond I ended up here where the experts live. I have already been helped out a great deal and hope that I can return the kindness in the future.
