my progress so far

[davidmeher]

pond will be 7'X10'X3.5'+/- (1,400 gallons)

 

[davidmeher]

a 3'high waterfall and 12' stream to pond.
is my fun hobby. "fun" is the important word.
lot of work/research, but fun.
it will add much to my oasis home.

 

[davidmeher]

underlay&liner ready to put down.
have 2,150gph 20'head and skippy filter.
two weeks to finish.

 

[RobAmy]

Looks like a good start, keep us dated with the progress

 

[DrCase]

[CeeJayH]

Nice start, look forward to seeing the progress.

 

[Becky]

I hope you didn't have to dig that by hand - ouch! It's going to be a lovely pond though, can't wait to hear about how it goes

 

[tbendl]

Love it. I think it's going to be gorgeous.

 

[davidmeher]

oh, and a semi-resident deer not sure she approves of pond.

 

[addy1]

Nice love the deer!

 

[haver79]

Looking good. Cant wait to see it filled.

 

[davidmeher]

oh, is a view 5-weeks ago, and view last week.
slow but steady progress.

 

[davidmeher]

and view today. slow and enjoyable.
3' cascading waterfall at bottom of pix into head of 2'X12' stream to pond.
haha, in my mind i already see 3 koi swimming in pond. is what keeps me motivated.

 

[davidmeher]

thanks for all your supporive comments.
i can do labor, but it is a serious learning curve (dynamic head, pump max head, bio-filter, pre-filter, gallons=cubic ft., etc.)
i relax with a beer; why stress when making beauty.

 

[addy1]

for sure! It is looking good!
