Building a 10,000-13,000gallon pond

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Not much of a update but i got the first 2 coarses dont this weekend and the rest on order, im using 10" blocks so i only need 12 per layar. and lets just say... its not spuare... at all... and my mom decided to do a bit or land scapeing, the hill is realy comming together... pics once there is some worth taking, Oh and i got all the lower blocks filled in, where i have the rids sticking up.


Just remember people when mixing mortor, two parts sand to one part concreet and enough water to make it a peanutbutter type mixture...
 
Very exciting and ambitious project. Like everyone else, I can't wait to see it finished, but totally understand the time and money constraints! Our back garden is on a slope too, and myself and my downstairs neighbour have been planning on terracing it for years! Wonder if there's room for a pond too...? Good luck with the weather and I look forward to the next update.
 
that is so cool.......very nice landscaping.........lookinng fwd to finished project:)

not realy just that i looked through 10 diffreent sites and thay all said differant amounts belive it or not... i did some tests and asked the guys at home depot and they all agreed with 70-80% of the sites that its a 2 to 1 mix, to a peanut butter mix... Its a pain in the butt to find simple stuff like that and makes me feel kinda dumb...

thanks man, and "KIDS"!!!? god dont scare me im only 21... geez, i dont much like kids but its enevitable, if they could go from 1month to 1 year then 6 to 13, then from 19 to 50 then count me in but its the inbetween that i dont know about...

I got to face facts, no one is getting any younger and my parents said they're leaving me the house so why not lay the ground work...:grinno:


I will snap some pics tomarow and post them up, all the brick work is done and its just got to get lined and stoned then the hill is done, then i can turn my attention to the waterfall face and then the pond itself, the easyest part of the project...
 
nice but you need to finish LOL, projects take forever!
 
still cant wait to see the end of this project...
