On top of that, think of the pride and satisfaction you would get knowning that "I made that!"

There ain't NOTHING like building something yourself be it a hole in a ground to food preparation. Kinda' the reason a while back that I wanted to build a DIY undergravel filter for my tank, until I figured all the trouble I'd run into later down the road, especially if I had to rehaul the whole thing.
I was gonna let the underparts of the filter show (kinda' like the clear gameboys they used to sell!) unlike how many people hide the bottom from view with gravel. This way, I'd also be able to tell better when the infamous UGF gunk would accumulate.

Hope your pond turns out OK. There's just so many cool things you can do with the pond. I would LOVE a pond in my backyard, but the house is kinda' rented, therefore, no such large projects are to be done (Can't even put a basketball hoop post into the ground, Boooo).
