!@##?@?$$%#$!
I spent a few hours at Home Depot today and then back home to use the rest
of my "sick day" finishing off my turtle pond. Well of course it didn't
look as good as I would like today, I think I was "settling" yesterday just
because I was so exhausted. But today, even though it was raining and
everything was mud, I removed the rock border, removed the liner, and
started digging some more! I made the island smaller and lower, and made
the outer edges a little sharper, and the deep hole a little deeper. I was
covered in mud, but I was actually having a good time knowing that I was now
close to "perfection". That is, UNTIL I put the liner back in! With my
new modifications, I am now short by a couple of inches on the width!!!!!!
Talk about frustrating! I'm sure I'm not the first person this has
happened to, but after digging yesterday in that heat, and digging today in
non-stop rain and mud, I was hoping for a little more "happy ending". I had
to give up and walk away before I did something stupid like throw a tantrum
and destroy the whole thing. OK, (taking deep, calming breaths....) is
there a way to easily and safely join liner? I have a little leftover
lengthwise, and I'm a little short widthwise, so it would be great to be
able to cut off some extra and attach it to the side where I'm short. And
it wouldn't be in a place where water would even be hitting it, it would be
right where the liner comes out of the hole and lies under the rock border.
What does one use to join liner? I'd like something that sets fast, as
I'm getting real impatient. I was hoping to go reward myself with a turtle
this weekend, but now it looks as though that plan can't happen. HELP
ME, PLEASE!!!!
