We've had 102-107 heat advisories since Saturday. Winter what??? I stay sweating just looking at all the work left to do on my pond. And still no luck finding a waterfall rock. I did get my plants planted in the water and barely survived a vicious frog attack Sunday. Frog-1 Me-0.

Nice and warm again today. I think I better put some wet stuff on my plants before they all disappear. Not used to having to water so much here.

We get the heavy dew too but up here where I live the soil is so sandy it dries out super fast w/ all this daytime heat. Good job on your fence and that's quite a big pond to have to fix!

and stupid me said I would help them figure it all out .They are hiring people to clean the whole thing of brush and limbs .I figure it at the full level it would be around 50000 gallons or more because I have no clue of the depth .The bridge repairs are easy and gave them a list of what they will need ,mostly cosmetic .The deck needs very minor repairs it looks newer than the bridge .I dropped a rope from the bridge with a rock tied to it (all I could think of on short notice to estimate depth .5 ft maybe more natural pond no liner that I can see .So they will need to be careful in clean up .I figure most depth would be under the bridge

I'm not doing the work they will hire people .They are supposed to bring in stone and they think it will be a quick fix but I think it may be more than 2 years and a lot of money .I told them to fill part of it in and make it a lot smaller to keep down the expense .I don't think they have the money to restore it to what it was .They may have to do a natural pond .Put in a floating pump with a fountain head .That will cost around 6 thousand dollars or more for 2 of them and then another 2 thousand for a aerator .The electric bill will not be pretty
