I'll tell you why Sissy :razz: because my landscaper who is very talented in pretty landscaping did not know anything about the mechanics of a pond which I should have discovered before hand :grumble: He does beautiful landscaping but told me just today that most of his customers don't care much about the function of the pond they just like the looks of it and don't want to be messing with it so they let it go green. I think I have been his first customer to question him about the mechanics of it. I guess the reasonable price he offered grabbed me.
Addy my yard has a very slight slope down towards the pond and during this recent gully washer of a rain it overflowed the pond towards my husbands shop. The landscaper came today and built the rock up higher so it is not less than 6 inches from the ground around the ponds edge.

I guess that is alright if you have the slope , but I don't have a slope and fresia's yard is flat and would just run back in and flood all sides in a heavy rain .I just can't understand why it was not done to start with .I know that is the first thing that i thought of .I have mine run threw the drain pipe and down the side of my ponds outside wall and there is a grated outlet there so if any fish ever did get through the grate they would end up in a bucket i put there .

Good thinking Sissy, I am lucky to have the slope, nice run off spot, unlucky was a pita to build, but lucky the slope makes a great stream! A mixed blessing as they say.
Your idea sounds like it works great.

A TV in the shop? Not me. I like my fingers the way they are, and still have all of them after a lifetime of woodworking.

HARO I think the tv in the shop is for "Man Time" ))

And hopefully not on while the tablesaw is running!? Sorry, but I've known too many guys who got distracted around machinery... and had the missing digits to show for it!

HARO, I asked my husband if he ever watched tv while he was sawing and he said, "Why no, you would saw your hand off!"
