Playing around with the Youtube Shorts editor. Here's 45 sec update of some of chinking in some of the walls. Looking a little more complete.

For anyone following along, avoid having to rock in outside corners in your shelves if you can help it. Just spent half the day getting that figured out. I dug a semi-spiral staircase into the excavation to get down to the bottom of the pond. Getting that rocked in and and making the rocks sit sturdy was extremely tedious. But it's done!

It is! How’s your build coming?
We had a small delay in the rock delivery. The original truck broke down, so they had another truck guy help. His little forklift gizmo was too wide for our driveway (which is bordered with old stone walls) so he had to go back to the rock yard. The original guy got his truck fixed though - so fingers crossed for a Monday delivery! (Editing to say the regular guy has delivered here before and his forklift is smaller -- so it should fit!)
so your shelves are dug? fabric is installed and liner and fabric?. LETS SEE IT YOU KNOW THE RULES. Ok so theres no rules we just like to live through others
Not yet! We've just had 4 days with 4 to 6 inches of rain! It's been a squishy mess out there!

oooohhhh, action shots! Nice!
Btw, CW; you know you really SHOULD get in the hole (before it's finished) and using an old fashioned shovel, dig some of it out so when you brag 'I dug it myself', there'll be SOME truth to it, hey?

okay then, you need to have SOMEONE take some pics of YOU shoveling hard. Or is that; hardly shoveling. Whichever. Try to at least look sweaty in the pic, too, hey?

My dad is no good at taking pics, and my hands are usually too full of GIANT ROCKS to snap a selfie.
I could do like some youtubers and set up a camera all day to record myself.
