Well it's been a week now that I've been working on this off and on...found out large rocks stink to move alone and tear up your arms! But is all worth it I would hope in the end. Hopefully the picture works. I've never build a pond before and it is an intersting project to say the least!

Definitley worth all the hard work in the end. But it really never ends, because you always see something you want to change or tweak. I thought I was finished going in the neighborhood looking for rock five years ago but I always seem to need more, whether I am adding on or redoing something else. That is what makes it a hobby.

I completely understand about lifting rocks!! My knees were still hurting from last weekend of climb out of the pond get a rock, climb down, climb up, get a rock, climb down. I did that again this weekend. Could really use a massage. Your pond looks great.

We got the last of our rocks from a friend that has a lot of property and said please take all we want.

Fantastic job...those preforms are not so easy to dig in, I did one last year....and your falls is great, I think mine on the preform will be redone this year. I have an old short old fasion handle pump I might use instead. Once you get your landscaping filled in and the plants in the pond it will be heaven

Look at all your efforts.............the pain and discomfort was worth it all in the beautiful end results. Nice looking stones :confused:
You got that waterfall so it flows just perfect and even :cool:
