some pics
Finally got some pics up of the new pond. Still have some landscaping
and final electrical to do, and come spring I'm planning to add plants & cheap fish http://www.mindspring.com/~mikepatterson/ "pond pump" is a pic of the 3-gallon bucket in which the pump is placed, and then landscape fabric is wrapped over the top and bungeed in place. The idea of the bucket is so that if the external plumbing fails, the pond will only empty out to the level of the top of the bucket. I think. -If- the rock in the bucket plus the weight of the pump is heavy enough to keep it from tipping. The fabric over the top of the bucket is to keep small fish & stuff from getting sucked into the pump. Still haven't had a chance to experiment with gas/flame/water etc. but hope to when the temps come back up some. Too cold outside for my taste right now!

I like the location you chose, Mike. Very pretty! Really nice rock
placement, lovely little waterfall. Don't get "cheap" fish. Be confident :-) Denise Visit my gardens: http://web1.in4web.com/mtcdrc |

To tilapia, so if my gas flame experiment goes wrong at least I can eat the evidence...precooked! :-) Thanks Mike Mike Patterson Please remove the spamtrap to email me. |

Hey Mike,
Now thats a nice looking pond, it's goint to look fantastic with some plant growth. I don't think that your gas fire will make any difference or cause any damage to the pond or inhabitants. Listen to Denise and be confident I think it will make a nice place to hold drumming circles -- **So long, and thanks for all the fish!** "Mike Patterson" wrote in message ...

Listen to Denise and be confident I think it will make a nice place to hold drumming circles Thanks for the comments! I plan to put a screen of mixed shrubs aound the end away from the waterfall, and I'm sorta thinking of adding a second waterfall. Right now though, the "gotta get done" list is still way too long. Sod, paths, a fence, more drainage, electrical, etc etc etc. I'll post more pics when it's all done, should be around 2010 or so at this rate...

I look forward to seeing your future PICS. Hope I don't have to wait
that long LOL. With another foot of snow on the ground, it seems like Spring and my digging a bigger pond are still very far away. Good skiing though :-) Denise Visit my gardens: http://web1.in4web.com/mtcdrc |
