Well I have some more pics. This is where I enjoy my morning coffee.
The problem is it has a view of all the work that still needs to be done! Wrapped the rock on a roll around the big box. Have the pavers to make the seating area but still not sure how I want to set it up. Working with a slope again! Too much work to do! At least this year I won't have to deal with leaves. Both ponds have net rooms around them.

Got to love slopes! They sure can make pond building difficult.

Thought I would give everyone an update. After a very long winter hubby will return to full duty tomorrow! Wohoo! It's been 9 months since he fell, 6 pins holding his shoulder together. It will be good to have some help with things around here. Ponds are up and running but haven't seen much of the fish as the water is very green. Starting the UV up today and hopefully will get the bog started this week. It didn't get cleaned out last fall so had a lot of decayed plant material. Flushed it out and will set up a fines filter to catch anything I missed.

Wonderful news mrsclem. Spring is coming and you can both get in there and roll your sleeves up and take care of the pond business.
It will be good to see your fishes again I bet. I wish I could get out there now but the rains of Kilimanjaro are here to stay for awhile I fear :fish:

Hope it's nothing serious Dr. Dave. Hubby tore all 4 ligaments in the rotator cuff as well as tearing his bicep completely loose. Basically, he had nothing holding his shoulder in place.He is already picking up overtime- it will help with the pond rebuild.
