Got the big old koi and they are now safe and sound in the top pond. So hot today, need a quick coffee break and then back to work on replacing liner....

Will reglue that front section so it looks like rock wall. Will video that when I get new liner in today. Going to start right now. Scared to move those big koi....

I understand your fear of moving them. I'll be thinking positive thoughts

Editing, as I see your new posts showing the two big koi in the top pond - yippee Using a bed sheet is a good idea!

I went back tonight as sun was going down and gathered a few more pieces. No rattlersnake was out tonight. I made sure to "bang" on the door to make sure nobody was lurking. The things we do for well weathered old wood. It's a "must have" for landscaping around the pond.
Ponds all running well tonight. New liner is installed and water circulating tonight. Thank goodness cause it was so hot today and ponds were starting to look murky and green from not enough water flow. Should be back to normal by tomorrow. Got the big pond Max filter hooked up and running.

I love weathered wood, here it just rots.

Good job Colleen and the koi look all nice and happy in their new spot.

How to make a Rock wall easy Peasy!

 

[callingcolleen1]

Rock wall is dry and everything stuck down good. Should last at least 10 years

Looks great Colleen. Thanks for sharing the video. It would have been much easier if someone was there holding the camera so you could have had two hands to be working with that sticky stuff!

So are the big Koi going to stay in the top pond and some smaller Koi going into the new lined pond?

I was going to suggest that @callingcolleen1 needs to get herself a GoPro with a head strap!

Yes big Koi will stay in top pond as it is bigger and deeper. I opened the water gate so some smaller koi can migrate downstream naturally. They won't get passed second pond with new liner as I put the gate up there so they won't go invade the bottom goldfish pools.

The rock wall is very stuck and holding strong to wood frame. That foam stuff never ceases to amaze me. Those Rocks will be stuck there for very long time!
