OT (Sort of) - Leveling the ground
My wife picked up a pool...I mean pond for our kids...I mean Koi, this week.
It is one of those inflatable 4 feet deep, 14 feet wide poo...uh...ponds. You put it up in the summer, and let the kid...uh...koi have fun...and then take it down in the fall. Our neighbors have had them and love them, so we figured we'd give it a try instead of buying a $600.00 pool pass for the community pool. Anyway...the place I plan to put this in yard...is not quite level...I have no idea how much it is off...let's say a foot tops. What is the best way to create a level 14 foot circle in the yard...for the poo...uh...pond? I figured you porgs would have an answer. -- BenignVanilla Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it. tibetanbeefgarden.com Remove MYFRONTALLOBE to email me. |

The latest neat tool is the laser level. It will also come in handy for the other swimmers ;-) -- Bonnie NJ http://home.earthlink.net/~maebe43/ |

Much cheaper then laser level, clear plastic tubing, fastened to a couple
of 1x1 with a foot on each. Fill with dyed water. Set side by side, mark the water line & go. |

It was (horrors!) from one of those "As Seen on TV!" spam ads, but it's a good price, and quite a nice product... http://eros.rbmailsystems.com/T/r.cf...853931&L=37535 They said 1-2 weeks delivery, but it came in less than 2 days, UPS Ground!

Nedra http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/4836 http://community.webshots.com/user/nedra118 Oh, no, no no! The new poo...I mean pond is for the kids. Shareholders Pond is pressing forward just not on schedule. I have been debating liner materials the past week which has held me up. I think I am going to go with EPDM since I have Greg Beckel's site to guide me through everything I need. I am hoping to sneak out of work early tomorrow, so I can cruise up to pondtechnology.com in Baltimore and pick up some liner. If all goes well...the pond will be filled by the end of the weekend. *fingers crossed* BV. |

He uses frames, so I am not sure where this sits in the grand scheme of his site, but you should be able to get to everything else from there. BV. |
