New pond

Well, the pond project is almost finished! After we add some rolls of rock to the side walls, and some blue solar tube lights, it should be done. I laid out the heart shaped scheme, and started digging(with a flat shovel to boot!). I got pretty far, but I'm glad Shawn came to my rescue and helped finish digging it. A cheap roll of 4ml plastic, doubled, from Tractor Supply, that we used as our liner(regular pond liners run around $300 +, this was $29.99) with river rocks gently laid out in a single layer, and larger rocks put at the edge of the different levels(there are 4 altogether), lighthouse put on the top level, pump to circulate the water, turn on the garden hose, 12 little goldfish, and voila, we now have a nice fish pond!
