Welcome Marcus!  Another fellow Alabamian here!  Sounds like a nice size pond for your first one!  You and your wife will love it!

Glad to hear all is going well Frank!  I didn't know about your shoulder, sorry.

Mikey, hope you can do something about your shoulder too!

I know how it feels to have body aches, have them everyday with back and knees.

Looks really nice Scott!  That's a really good sized shed out back too!  And two decks, that's really cool too!  I think you and Sarah will be really happy there!

Thanks Bonnie, and when there is a breeze we get a nice one. 

Kay, Thanks! I will take some more pic's later as I get some more stuff done.  Big tree in front of it, going to be gone tomorrow.  Nice shade, but blocks view and will give more room for plantings, pond, etc.

Thanks Marla.  We had to move them again today, have a tree guy coming tomorrow and next day to cut the big tree down right in front of pools.  Hated to do it, and should have put them somewhere else to start with, but wanted to be able to see them.  Oh well, soon I hope.

2vetts, If you are refering to the third picture, that was how we bought the house, deck was tore out and the roof portion was only supported by the landscaping timbers, not even attached at top or bottom, just propped up, and yes very crooked.  I assure you they are all straight now.  Now can I ask, sir????

Thanks Mikey, and that's the truth.  Now if we could just get a few more cool breezes!

Kittyzee, thanks, and it sure is great and very convenient!

Thanks Julles, it's just shy of 8' by 28'.

KatFish, thanks, I'm thinking some kind of swing, that would be great!  And I will be getting me some more potted plants for it also!

Thanks emm, it sure will come in handy on them rainy days!

Thanks all! 

It's sweet isn't it.

They all made it through the night, I was really worried!  I found one of my pumps this morning, got it hooked up and going in one pool.  Went to Lowes and bought another one 330 gallons.  Got it hooked up and running with one of my Biological/Mechanical filters I purchased at Lowes on clearance quite a while back.  The other pump I had doesn't have an outlet to hook to the other filter, so, I will have to make one of my own again.  But that's ok.  I feel better now that the fishies have water circulation!  Now, just got to get those ponds built!
