I need a cast iron frying pan to the head. When I get this tired, I want to get stuff done, and talk it over endlessly. Guys are playing games, so y’all get to hear it/ read it. Measured the pond frame, sprayed it off, now letting it dry, need to move it. It’s got a lot of rust the past year, but still solid. May need to spray paint it to prevent more rust. Where I’d need to put the pond is a few feet too far from either outlet, so will need a heavy duty extension cord. Hopefully I can set up things so I have pump and light both going. Bad thing is that where the pond is at, I have a ton of plants that have seeds which keep prickling me! Wild type marigolds. I’ve got a nice farm boy beefy friend, who will be by to work on the boat today, who I’m sure will help me move the pond if I can stay awake till then. 4 more hours! My tired brain may not last that long. If only the mower worked well enough to get back there!
So currently I’m thinking I have him help me move it to the porch. I’ll take off the liner, give the frame a good cleaning and paint job, then put it back together better, as the liner has a few spots that it can overflow I need to adjust. Then I’ll set it up inside, figure out the cords, add a light colored substrate, set up a small bog, fill and get it cycling, and hopefully this time next week I’ll be able to post pictures. I have to wait till payday to get paint and substrate, otherwise I’d be working on that now! I’m so impatient! I know I can jumpstarts the cycle by using the tank water and moving over it’s decor and rocks, but I think I’ll put the liner in the pond with its water to preserve what beneficial bacteria and hair algae it has.
