Alpravinosh's first pond ( DIY )

When we first moved into my house I was a year old and we had a beautiful concrete pond. One day there was a thunder storm and the main roads and its drains near my neighbourhood was flooded. My neighbour in the rain rang my door bell to alert me that he saw a massive phyton enter my compound. We immediately called for the fire and rescue department and by the time they arrived the rain had subsided. We checked the entire house compound but there was no sign of the snake. Then my neighbour told my dad that the snake entered the compound closes to the pond, it might be in the pond. The fireman searched the water and around the pond but could not find the snake. When one of them spotted a small crack in the concrete of a stone fixture that surrounded the entire pond. The man had no choice but to hack down the fixture sending all the rubble into my pond which eventually covered the entire pond. I was sad as my favourite past time was destroyed all due to a snake. So know after almost ten years I have decided to build my own pond. It in cooperates a stream as well as a very tiny waterfall. Everything I desire in a pond. Here are some photos of it. It's absolutely peaceful to just seat next to a pond, watching the fish swim by gracefully while listening to soothing sound of flowing water, and knowing you built all of this simply adds the cherry on a extremely tasty cake. I hope you like my pond thank you.

It took roughly one month for me to construct the whole pond, with some help of coarse from my family. The ground was particularly hard as it was red soil and over many years have clumped together to form hard chunks. Which makes this job particulary difficult.

My pond holds 800 gallons of water and is home to 12 fishes. 8 koi, 1 butterfly koi and three goldfish.
Since I know my koi is going to outgrow my pond within the next few years. I am already planning on a new pond which is going to be massive.
