Whatcha doing today?

[Tara]

Wow at @j.w thanks for taking the trouble, I've gotta say they look great. It looks like you have another small pond as well. I tell ya if the post wasn't so expensive I'd mail you some handsome New England rocks from the bay.

 

[j.w]

Thanks @Tara I just have a small pond that I keep some Duckweed growing to toss to the fish once in awhile for a tasty treat.

I'll just stop by your place to pick up rocks after I ride by @Gemma's on my bike,lol!

 

[Tara]

Right oh @j.w just say when and ill stick the kettle on.

 

[j.w]

I'll need more than a kettle! I'll need ice packs, heating pad, pain meds, etc.

View attachment 116801 Baked mini cupcakes today to send to work with hubby tomorrow. Caramel apple filled spice cake and pumpkin spice dulce de leche filled spice.

I can almost smell them!

I had to continue my rocks on a new post cuz they only allow 20 photos on a post.

I put them around my pond pathway:

Changed over my koi pool pumps from a 13,000 lph to a 9000 lph. Don't need to have so much water passing through the filter at this time of the year. The actual rate is lower, as the head height is about six feet.

You leave your filter in for winter, I'm considering letting mine run all winter, but unsure if the filter pad would freeze. Has his ever been an issue for you.

Worked inside today, refinished a table for my winter tank, kids came home and put their stuff on it. I guess the paintbrush and newspaper all over the floor did not tip them of. Oh well I know what ill be doing tomorrow.

 

[j.w]

Oh no how awful, all that work! @Tara I hope it won't be too much trouble to fix it.

I had a nice visit w/my sister at the park today. Got over 60 and was so sunny and nice!

Climbing to almost 63 tomorrow.

 

[Tara]

Oh no how awful, all that work

No bother, was able to patch it up. Now just need to squeeze in some tank decorating time.

Here is neighbours sump pump, also has some smaller hoses buried about a foot down. Water pumps to the bottom of my driveway, not normally a problem except in winter if it freezes. My driveway is on a slant to the road. So today I am taking measurements and sending it back over the fence.

 

[addy1]

unreal, good luck

 

[Tara]

Thanks @addy1 ,normally things like this wouldn't bother me, however driveways are not cheap, and ice at the end of driveway in winter after overnight rain is no joke.

Make sure you take over view pictures showing exactly where it is before you touch it. That way if he raises a stink you can show that it is putting his water on your property. Also causing a dangerous situation for you during the winter.

Pictures tell a lot.

I would also do it when he is not around, might not even notice.......................but in the way you explain him, he probably will.
