Kirsten's new house (was BZT)
Kirsten, I'm going to go into "Granny mode" here! You need to focus, girl!
Your original post began: "Hi, I recently bought a 1923 bungalow in Atlanta, and I inherited a small pond (about 4 feet across, maybe 2-3 feet deep) with one fish" I know that the folks here in rec.ponds are a wonderful bunch of people with *tons* of information to help you out......... but...... Granny Annie suspects that the reason you are so active on the rec.ponds newsgroup is because you don't have anyone else to talk to you about dealing with a house. (My hubby and I thought we knew all about taking care of a house, until we bought our first one -- fortunately, we hoity-toity college grads had a fallback, "Um, dad, I have a question?") Before I forget ('cause I will, sigh....), I'll post a link to the rec.ponds FAQ http://www.geocities.com/justinm090/faq.html Also, Kirsten, a bottom drain is undoubtedly a good thing for some ponds that are built from scratch. Unless, however, your pond already has one, I urge you to look at other projects around your house first. In the meantime, I'll see if I can't find a newsgroup for new homeowners. Good luck! and keep us posted, Anne Lurie Raleigh, NC "k conover" wrote in message ... I'd like to know what's involved in a bottom drain. Since I'm a newbie, is there a FAQ for this newsgroup so I don't have to keep bugging everyone with my questions? Kirsten |

Thanks Anne for the reality check--I think it's easier to concentrate on my
pond than think about the house! So I'll calm down and just lurk awhile... Kirsten "Anne Lurie" wrote in message . com... Kirsten, I'm going to go into "Granny mode" here! You need to focus, girl!
