Ponds in Canada

Well you can marry your cousin here.... Yeah I'd say you win.

 

[j.w]

Really I never knew there was a question on our license asking if we were cousins? What have we done
Gosh I just looked and it is banned in our state!

Half hour and I am off to work, so just outside relaxing in sun with coffee before I head out the door. Today is Tuesday and I always work Tuesday cause lots of big heavy pellets to move.

You guys are great entertainment and funny!

Sorry Not looking to marrying my Cousin,

That's not fair though, according to you most of your family is cray-cray. LOL
Although I'd go to j.w as well, I love Washington for sure, it gets awfully hot and muggy here in the summer.

 

[j.w]

We are nuts but we love it don't we...........well I do anyways. I am enjoying myself here comfortably. You are welcome to come here anytime you want to come Colleen or T or anyone else from this forum, just not all at the same time..............or wait maybe that would be fun. You could all set up tents on our little acre. I'm sure the neighbors wouldn't mind. It would be like a little Woodstock and anyone who wants to sing or dance, whoopee

Still got lots to do. Lots of finishing touches but now it is getting late. I moved some of the smaller 5 to 8 pound koi, and they were heavy! The two biggest koi I have decided to wait and I will use big soft blanket and let them swim in, then Hubby will take one end and I will take the other end, and get them that way, fold them in center and gently lift out.

I put a bottle of liquid concentrate pond peat cause I moved some fish and that will help with any injury from the move that may of occurred. It had darkened the ponds for now but so good at preventing fungus from injuries. I will get better pictures and video tomorrow cause it was getting very late by the time I finished .

 

[callingcolleen1]

Can't believe how fat and big the small koi were! !!

Working on hiding the back splash area of new upper pond. I have a much higher edge on this pond because the pond is 5 feet deep, that will mean the big koi can get a "running start" and jump way higher. With this new back edge I am finding unique ways to hide the edge using really old worn fence boards and long pieces of notted driftwood to create this new look. Will finish tomorrow and it should really look good once I am done.

I am so excited and pleased with how water is flowing and the fish are really swimming around fast tonight in big deep new upper pond.

Here is where the water comes out from upper pond to old top pond. I will get more rocks and finish the edge nicer. The water really comes gushing out faster with this new 5 year warranty big pump. So far this project has cost me a small fortune but the big koi really needed a bigger new home.

Next payday I will look for bright underwater light to shine way down at bottom of 5 foot deep pond!
