So gross... A foot of Muck.

I notice there are a lot of leaves in your 'muck'. Once you get your pond cleaned out, be sure to get a net on your pond before the leaves fall!

 

[Kias]

Yeah, the house has been empty for two years. So there's at least that much in there. No telling how this was taken care of leading up to the evacuation.

 

[Kias]

And it's done!

Now the dilemma is, do I adjust the water for fish, or do I adjust the water to swim in it? It's hot out!

For the fish, of course. A little risky to swim in a pond that has fish.

Fish don't scare me!

You know, except the ones that have teeth. Especially the fish that have teeth that look human. Those really freak me out!

It is the fish that will be scared.
The question is: What are the E-coli levels in the pond (from fish poop, bird droppings, etc.) and the levels of other parasitic pathogens such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia. Swim at your own risk!

 

[Kias]

Those are just like fish. Cept ya can't see em. And by time I get sick, I'll never connect the water with my sickness anyway. Lol!

I guess I'll adjust the water for fish since the frogs are slowly returning to the pond.

Looks great!

 

[Kias]

Put on some rubber boots and either use a shop vac, or a pool net, to remove the muck.

Oh man... Totally forgot the rubber boots!

Be sure to shower!

 

[Kias]

A betadine shower? The smell was so bad...

 

[tbendl]

It's really great for your skin though.... I mean I hope, I don't really know but was looking for a silver lining... LOL

 

[Kias]

The skin on my feet is so smooth, and my toenails don't even need polish anymore! They're so shiny!
