I just cant wait!

Okay... there are no pictures yet, I have a couple more things I'm going to finish up tonight, and then I will get some good pictures.

I just had to type this up because im sitting at work thinking about how I can't wait to get home and finsh it up.

Here is the last pic i had posted




There are MANY new plants (got some great end of season deals at menards this last weekend) The black campfire grill, unfortunately, had to go, it was rusting pretty bad, and I didn' want to keep having to recoat it, BUT, that made room for a 55 gallon rubbermaid tub for a filter/waterfall feature in that corner.

We also finally bought some lighting, nothing spectacular, but better than nothing, 2 small solar LED spotlights to shine on the pond, and 2 color changing LED bulb thing (I dunno what they are, my fiance liked them) but they give the pond a nice (almost eerie)glow at night.

Anyway, I cant wait to get home tonight and finish up, and then I promise I'llhave some pictures in the morning.

Neat, neat like a toilet seat (ha, ha, we used to say that when we were kids when something good happened)! Can't wait to see your new plants all nicely planted and the new filter/waterfall set up...........oh and you have to take a night pic too so we can see your colored lights B)

Waiting with bated breath to see the pictures! and night one too!

Bated breath eh? Always wondered why peeps used that term. I mean what the heck is bated breath? Do we put something in our mouth to trap something or what? No that would be baited breath.
Anyways we are waiting for your neato, keeno pix 99 first thing in the morning

With bated breath...................

Looks great! And lucky you scoring all the new plants and lighting. I really like the solar lights, too. So easy to use and no cords to mess with.

Looking forward to more pics! Have fun tonight!

Here i've got the grill outta there and am digging a hole


here, tun is in, and i've got soem plants in there.


here is a close up of the little water fall.


the fish, and the plumbing that i have to deal with yet.. i had to run a pipe straight across the pond, i guess it wont bother me so much when it turns green.

So here's what i did last night, i had these flat rocks tht i was using as stepping stones, and i really needed them for around that tub, so i decided to pull the rocks out and try to pour concrete in the holes and make stepping stones in the shape of the rocks that were there.




and heres the flat rocks around the tub




Heres the dock and one of the spotlights.

[ididntdoit99]

Guess i better sneak this one more in, the entire area, after i was finished last night.

It wil be amazing how fast your landscaping will grow in next year once the plants get established. Pond is really coming together. Looks good.

You did a lot of work. Fantastic job. Looks really good.

The pond is really coming along nice for the first year! By next year you'll really have a nice start for the year. The supervisor will have a year of experience behind him and should be up to the why and how stage. LOL Looks good! great pics
