Hello from TN.

doesnt look like weve done a whole lot but we moved some dirt today! whew..my back hurts...put an old pic next to the new pic for comparison..intentions are to just make it about 3-4 feet longer and maybe 6 inches deeper and take out the ledge on the inside..more digging tomorrow..then off to the chiropractor at 2...lol.. the last pic is the supervisor..ha...

I can so relate with the back hurting. LOL My pond has only had water in it a week, and I love it so much. I have read so many other threads on here and have really enjoyed seeing how others do things. I'm anxious to see yours also. Keep the pictures coming.

I think the supervisor needs a whip to make you work harder .I think he is slacking there .That be looks a little too comfy he laying on

• Thankyou..was looking at your link of the your planned pond..did you build it yet?

Still have some minor stuff to do on it, ow it is done, not that any pond is ever done.

Nice supervisor, keep on digging when you are done you will be so pleased that you did it!

Hello and welcome to the forums! That's a nice looking pond you've got there, it certainly looks worth all the hard work that has gone in to it!

 

[ToniJ]

Thankyou Becky, I believe addy1 is right, a pond is never done ..ive been working on this one since nov. of 2009..always changing something..and I finally found your pond pics addy1..still learning how the site works..

Eeeehh...not sure how big it is now..lol...i'm at a standstill with it, the standstill of discouragment really, I havent even taken measurements of it..we just dug, dug, and dug some more. It's not a monster pond but bigger than it was..

Mine is the size it is, cause I got tired of digging, can totally understand. And I was using a tractor.

Hang in there Toni it will be worth all your effort. Not sure if you will be in the Jackson area this weekend, but Carter's Nursery is having a Spring Pond Expo on Saturday. Supposed to be giving all kinds of pointers on ponding. Best part is that it's free!!
