It's been awhile
« on: June 16, 2015, 10:18:44 PM »
Hi everyone!  I used to frequently chat and partake in the forum years ago.  It all was put on hold when I sold my house with the pond pictured in my profile.  Long story short, I bought a new house with a large backyard.  Knowing that I would build a pond, I saved a pretty good space for it.  I'll upload pics as I progress.  Here's one of today's work.  These boulders are going to be the end of me.  One more trip to the rock hard should do it.  I'll then connect the pump to the filter.  The filter is a Hayward filter that I'm converting using bio balls and filter media.  Can't wait to finish this, but I've learned to be patient in building ponds so that everything looks to my liking.

Edit: I'm not able to upload pics from my phone.  Says pics exceed the limit ????
Edit: I email the pic to my own email.  Prior to sending I'm prompted to choose the size of the pic.  Saved the smaller pic to my phone.

It's good to be back!

Did you manage to save any plant stock to transfer over or will you be starting from scratch?

Jerry- I don't know how the pic ended up stretched that way.

Green- I'm starting from scratch.  I found a couple of local ponders and bought a few plants from them.  I really would like a Mayla  {:-P;;

Thanks everyone for the support!  It's good to be back in the pond of things!

Nice big pond/pool!!!  Lots of hard work makes a beautiful pond.  Will you have fish to replace the 10 toes variety?
