Journal Lockdown Pond Project

[adavin]

Whilst in lockdown earlier this year to past the weekends away I decided to build a pond for the misses who's always wanted one in the garden. Although I had no issue in creating one, I really wasn't in the mood for an archeological dig so it will be a raised one for fish not Kio due to eating everything in it LOL.

The measure! 😉



The delivery 😱


Leveling and racking out the stones the ground which was rock solid by the way😉



Bedding one 😉



Bedding two used some underlay which I found in the shed.. Amazing what you keep in a shed LOL


Pond underlay 😉



Pond Liner 🙂 That hurt sorting the corners out


The fill 😱 Water bill went up!


Cycling for two weeks 🙄




Once cycled and seated in correctly added tops couple of fish and a lilley 😎




Fews weeks on 😉



The lilley 😉




Loved every minute of building it and enjoy it every day 🙂

Thanks everyone. I was lucky to have nice weather at the time as well, although working from home I took a couple days off leave to finish off. But nice to chill out and listen to the water now and again..

Nice one mate. Done a good job there lol.
That's how I started 28 years ago. With a hole in the ground. And a liner. Then the bug. Really got hold of me. Enjoy the pond and fish mate. Now I am retired it is a great hobby. Fish keeping. Or should I say.
Water keeper.
Love it.
