We’ll if not for bad luck I’d have no luck. Purchased a home and two days before move in date a tree fell on it. Have been fighting that battle with insurance and rebuilding the inside. The home has several large ponds in the front of the property and while not perfect they were operational and just needed some cleaning and tlc. Pumps have been failing and replacing them as the do.
We’ll lower pond second pump failed sometime this week and replaced it yesterday. Luckily went by today to check on other progress and found a cracked line behind liner that pumped virtually all water behind the liner. Luckily was able to save all the fish for now and emergency transfer to secondary ponds. But the bottom pond is shot. Had to cut a good bit of liner to allow for pump to pump out the water as I did not want it to seep out and go into home.
So I guess the rebuild will commence much sooner than anticipated. Will have to do a majority of the work myself, as last quote to redo the pond was $20-25k.
Any suggestions on alternative to a liner? Just trying to get some ideas and stay positive during this time.
