Hi Bill - $.60 sq ft is cheap here in Ontario for Epdm, if that is what
your looking at - PVC doesn't stand up to our freeze/thaw cycles for more
than ~5 yrs and have heard of problems with Permalon up here as well - It
may work well down in warmer climates, but I understand the jury is still
out on Permalon up here
I gather you know how to measure for liner ( length of hole at longest
point + 2 X depth at deepest point for lenght and width of hole at widest
point + 2 X depth at deepest point for width , then add a foot more to
both measures for trimming) - Don't forget the waterfall if you are going
to have one, so you have 1 solid sheet of liner - piecing or overlapping
it is cheaper, but leaves one open to a myriad of pitfalls (leaks)
Gale :~)

Yeah, it's not so much the price as the delivery charges that could be
scary. I've got a RFQ out now from a place I've dealt with before.

New pond will be roughly 10*8*4, with the 8 and the 4 being hopeful.
Unfortunately the pond will be going from an attractive oval space to a less
attractive triangle. I'm thinking the Waterfall will go in one corner to
maximize the gallonage. So the 25 should give me lots of room to attach the
liner to the new weir.

I got the tree moved yesterday, but it did not go well. I suspect I'll be
planting a new one in the spring.

Next week will be moving the fish and starting the dig. The bottom drain and
filter will be in there somewhere too. I think I'll be digging the tunnel
for the drain in about two weeks, so if you're within a hundred miles, plug
your ears. :-)
