sissys pond

[sissy]

well figure out gallons of water in pond at this point 4 ft 3,142 gallons and next row of block will add 4 more inches up and then 2x10 on top of that and then liner on top of all that and then on top of liner my 2x12 board that finishes it all .Not sure when i will get bridge back on ,but sure want to get the filter running again .Tested the water in both stock tanks and so far all is good .Guessing now I am glad this all happened before summer got here .

today part of the retaining wall done by noon and tree fertilizer spike in time for a coffee break no snow left

 

[j.w]

Stop and have your coffee...............wish I had that much ambition right now. I'd sure love to be digging a bigger giant pond but my hubby would freakout big time...............I think...............I think I will mention it to him tho and see how he reacts. Maybe a pond about 5 or 6 thousand gals off the back deck.....................what ya think?

 

[sissy]

darn wall at the end I saw the stupid wave in it and will have to fix it .I knew I should have kept using the level.I think you hubby may pass out you tell him that jw .I am sure he has not forgotten all the work from the first 2 ponds

 

[sissy]

by my best guess this one when full 3,142 gallons At that is keeping it 6 inches below the top

 

[j.w]

Oh man sissy you have to take it all apart now? That'll teach you to use that darn level from now on. Hope it all goes easy and fast for ya so you can get Aggie and Bert into their new home soon


My hubby didn't do anything w/ my two ponds except go w/ me to get the rocks and help me carry the liner to the ponds. I did all the digging by hand and everything else. Well he did make me the waterfall basin out of stainless steel which turned out really nice

 

[sissy]

No I figured out now since I am going to put rocks on top of the wall I can cheat it .I can make it look OK .I would only have to take that section down .But because the rocks are pretty big I may be able ti hide it

Good to know sissy, cheat it, nobody will know and it won't other you down the road.

 

[sissy]

today rebuilt the waterfall and have the filter set up temporary

 

[j.w]

Getting closer to the finish line sissy. Hey do those dogs still come around your place...........the one's that mess w/ your pond?

 

[sissy]

nope they got foreclosed on and lost there home /karma sucks .The other people with the small dogs keep them penned up after they were warned

 

[j.w]

Well good on the moving away w/ their dogs but too bad they lost their home.

 

[sissy]

Not really neighbors said the people were the worst neighbors ever noisy parties drinking garbage all over and the place got raided to for drugs .So guessing they were not very nice people .Glad they did not live near me .The ones that live near me a pretty good except for there little mutts .Neighbor across the street called animal control on them .That was there final warning .

 

[sissy]
