Darksaber Pond - My Next Adventure

But are they padded and involve you in a straight jacket.

Hey Haven‘t you learned I don’t let my jibberish or the truth ( you forgot I like to answer in tiny words that require you oldies to pull out your reading glasses) get in the way of a story Or response.

padded? What's that? Well, jhn, hard to see much behind the chicken wire, you know? Pads would be nice...now, can you do anything about that mini-bar thing?

And sorry no, they don't give me no jackets; just flannel pjs and fuzzy slippers that sorta look like fish (I asked for kitties but you know, the help here got a bit koi about the matter!)

The last 5 replies on this thread are exactly why build threads are 50 pages instead of 5. Don't know that I'd want it any other way, though.

Well that was something...

Sorry folks I spent so much time on the pond early in the summer and then took a new job so I've been a little out of pocket for a while.

Way to deliver! Looking great. And that umbrella is awesome.

2 questions:

1. Any new pond syndrome to deal with?
2. Any issues stirring up sediment when swimming?

No, I haven't had any issues with new pond syndrome, I think there are just two few fish for it to have made a difference in the 13,000 gallons.
Sediment hasn't really been an issue, remember though I spent 4 weekends (3 full washdowns) trying to get as much silt and mud out as I could. It stirs up a little when they go swimming but only enough for me to notice, others don't seem to be able to really tell that you can see more suspended particles. They settle back down in a few hours or less.

The night has to be one of your favorite times as i know you were counting down the days for the playset to disappear . This is very impressive makes me want to rip mine apart and start over just to be able to build another. You have to be pleased with the whole process

Love it! Now that the weather is starting to cool off we are out there even more. Only downside is when the sun is low in the sky it come right into the covered deck and bounces off the windows and gets you from behind. Small price to pay though.
