Of rocks that is. lol. I finally found some one who was reliable and did a good days work for the pay, and now I have a crop of rocks to show for it.
Actually, at long last the koi pond has been dug to it's proper depth, and in the process these "boulders" where removed from up out of the pond. There are two that where so big they couldn't be moved and no way where they going to be lifted out of that 3 and a half foot hole. see what I mean
You are looking down on them from on top of the rock and dirt pile, down into the 3 ' and some hole. Needless to say they were big.
The rest of the pictures are of what all that hard work created, from the waterfall end, to the other end of the big pond that now measures 61/2'W X 12'L X 3' deep.
I still have a little more digging to do, but for the most part, it is almost complete, and I am tired, and very very glad I had someone I could rely on to do a really good day works, and help me get this job done.
In about a week I will have a collection of large koi and goldfish who will be coming to live in this pond, as someone has most generously given me these fish to live in my pond and fulfill a dream of mine to have a koi/goldfish pond. I can't wait to finish it all up and add the plants and flower beds around here and there and my wonderful Chinese water dragon that will live in the center of the pond and spit water out his month.
I can hardly believe it is coming into being and I will have this wonderful pond/waterfall/fish to enjoy. Oh didn't I tell you now there will be another waterfall on the other end of the pond?
I collected quite a few tadpoles out of the bottom of the liner before we pulled it up as I have had a wonderful collection of toads and frogs that moved in last year. Now I will have even more to hop around and enjoy watching them about the pond. The birds love the waterfall, and take baths as well as drink out of it. There is nothing like the sound of a waterfall, to calm the nerves, and sooth the wounded spirit. I'll post more pictures when it's all done, but for now... I just had to share the culmination of a long days work.
I'm so tired I am falling asleep at the keyboard, so enjoy, and let me know what you think?
