well we started the pond make over yesterday. day one went with no problems.we had the old pond empted and the new hole dug by 11:00.the new pond is now 10'x 13.5'x 2.5' that gives me about 1700 gal.

i think those boots are a good look on me.when we have the annual MFT gala party *DRUMMER* ill put them on so you know its me.

we had the fish in at 7:00 pm. they didnt seem to mind the cloudy water and we didnt have any floaters this morning.i added salt a quart of stress coat to help them along.after breakfast the edge, lighting,planting and clean up.it should look nice.

What a beautiful pond!!
I can't wait to i have my own home (in otherwords, old enough to move out ) So i can get a pond, job well done!

PS: And lovely dog, is it a staf? (sp?)
PSS: I'm guessing you'll have goldfish in the pond? Or is it for frogs?

*Edit: sorry, i missed the bit where you mentioned FISH! *
