WOW! That's going to be beautiful!!! Round rocks, flat rocks, whatever--it's great. Keep us posted. I'm off to try to wrestle HP from daughter...

Funny, Wendy! lol

Thanks again, all!
Yes, Diane - he will be using larger, rounder, more "natural" shaped rocks for the top layer around the entire pond - he just wanted to use the flat ones for the base of the heavier top row.

ooooh Oooooh
I heard a guy talking about putting a pond on his property yesterday. Long story short he's going to put some certain type of pipe in it. That way the fire dept can use the pond if they need it for a extra water source. You just might get a BIG savings on your homeowners. this guy is going to save on taxes with it too.

That's a great idea, Wrennie!
I don't think our pond will be big enough for that though.
My cousins in Connecticut have twin ponds on their 5 acre property, and their township always uses all the ponds in that area - there are MANY! But I don't think they get any tax breaks for it...

With all the pouring rain we had today, the pond filled up more than ever!
Don did a lot more rock work on it this past weekend, but it's hard to tell...
(picture was taken through the bathroom window screen - it was too wet to go out!)

Don pumps the rain water out everytime it fills up - he's not nearly ready for there to be water in the pond yet. He still has lots of rocks to place, and then he has to do all the electrical connections. We are supposed to get more rain this weekend through Monday, so it looks like he'll be pumping once again... rolz

Could you cover it with a big tarp to lessen how much water gets in when it rains? why
