Duly impressive! Thanks for the pics. You have done a LOT of work.



I agree, and I love the clumping bamboo (I think you told us that was the
plant you were working around?) It really adds a nice feel for it. Looking
forward to more pics, hopefully bigger. ;-) ~ jan

Thanks :-) Yep, those are the two bamboo clumps I had to work around
(there is a third but it didn't get in the way). The bamboo looks
fantastic when it is reflected on the water.

I've made a bit more progress and the pump/filter is now running - the
movement seems to discourage the Mozzies (already got bites). Just got
one more area of rockwork to complete and then it is ready and will have
to sit until the spring when I can buy more plants and get some fish.
Its raining again so I'm not sure when I can get outside next.

PS I've got larger versions of the pics which I can mail you if you are
interested
