Thanks and thanks.

The diagram below would be how the build up would be done. That is from the description the contractor gave during his explaination.

Excavation followed by wooden piles.
RC Concrete Pond Base over the Wood Piles with a water proof mix.
Then the Wall with RC concrete and also water proof mix.
Then a cement sand mix to get the final slope and contour of the pond base.
Final finish with colored cement blue for the base and white for the sides.

The white was chosen so that it would be easier to see the fishes.
No updates today as the kitchen section is being done.

The Fish Room Renovation consist of the Room itself which is 13' wide by 28' long and also and exterior section with the same dimensions. Total would be 26' by 28'.The following pics shows the exterior ground beams being done before they excavate the pond area. From the Ground beams to the house wall it is 26'.
