When we bought our house we inherited a pond full of fish.
This is what it looked like when we moved in.
And then in the Summer, it looked like this.
It was pretty crazy with all the plants and lilly pads- and the ridiculous filtration system....which only someone who knows about ponds would know. We did not know about ponds until this past Spring. As the water started to melt, it was apparent that our little fish did not make it through the Winter. We set up a heater, but the snow sitting on top of it made it sink....so the fish froze. It was pretty gross and something had to be done.
Pete schooled himself on ponds and started the process of draining it and removing all the dead fish along with lots of thick sludge..... a pretty stinky process!
Doesn't that look fun!?!
Once the pond was drained, Pete was ready to make his own pond.
Let's see if it holds water...
and if the water fall will work.
It works!
then the landscaping.
The final product - and it looks great!
this is a cool pond. by alli
(Our little pond helper wanted to leave a note! Of course, I have a little girl sitting on my lap while I am trying to do something...)
I think Pete did an awesome job! I love our pond and love looking at our little fish.
