All pictures are good! It gives prospective as to what you had to deal with to obtain your objective. Every project I do or have done, are meticulously documented by camera. You never know why or when the photo might be needed.

Over the years, having photgraphic proof has saved me a lot of time and money. Today, photos are free with digital cameras and computers.

My BBQ plans are a great example of how beneficial photos and planning can be. I had no idea that I would become the premier BBQ Island plans provider in the world when I was doing it.

well its been forever but im back and my pond is almost done. i had to take about year off from building it. i have changed a lot around as well. im no longer using the cender blocks i had a company come and build a 6in thick stem wall then a added the liner inside that. we filled the pond today and t was so nice to be in it while adjusting the liner with the temps in the 100s. i will get more pictures tomorrow.

Wow, you went to a lot of trouble and it's gonna look really nice I bet when you are all done. Can't wait to see more pix :lol:

 

[DrDave]

Sweet! How is the liner integrated to the waterfall area?

 

[taherrmann4]

Jason nice pond or will be, how deep are you building it?

 

[jason081180]

it will be about 4 ft deep.

i hope pictures tomorrow will make it clear how the liner works with the waterfall.

I'm so excited to really be moving on this again.

what about adding salt to a pond i believe i read about it before and i know i do it in my freshwater aquariums but my question is how much and what kind to add.

 

[DrDave]

I have a link on my website to the Univ of Florida on salt in ponds and treatments using salt. Any rocksalt that is not iodized is fine. Home Depot sells a 50 lb bag for less than $10.

 

[jason081180]

updated pictures. the liner is secured in place by the wood piece that is screwed into the concrete. i need to order a weir for the waterfall

 

[addy1]

Very nice, that is going to be great.
