    • Wow!.......Incredible Danny, my waterfall has kept going so they have an oxygen hole, fingers crossed the fish are ok once I can get in there.

      • Decided to give the pond an overall. When finished it will be around 3ft+ deep, the inside of the walls are insulated with 4ft x 2ft polystyrene sheets. A lot more bracing to be put in place before I can put a new liner in............progress so far:

            Will have to see if my handywork stand up to the water pressure on the walls. Hence the extra bracings.

                    • George & the family are all fine. The liner is in, extra bracings are in place & is half filled with water. The family are back in the pond & seem quite happy. I bought a 9'x6' paddling pool as a temp home for the family. This has now been sold on. A friend is hopefully making me a stand for the TV so time will tell on that one. Still lots to do but should be worth it once finished.

                        ....such an unusual pond BM....why have you chosen a 'raised bed'type pond?
                        Makes me think of the penguins at Chester zoo....

                        • Thanks Nicos, it was quite obvious the pond was not deep enough so I had 2 options, dig out another 2ft or raise it 2ft.............I took the easier option.

                          • Ha!
                            Why am I so concerned about George!?
                            Never met the lad....clearly your concern/care/love for them all shines through!
                            Looking forward to watching your TV again!....you should sell a few hours of viewing on you tube!!!!
