thank you very much alex, will surely rake ur help
 
ok there have been a few small changes to the dimensions, due to the overzealous diggers, we have a 14'x13.5'x6'+ are the new dimensions.

this weekend when i came back home i found the digging to have been completed and the bed for the pond to be finished.

Today the work for the walls was started at 0900hrs and finished at 1700hrs and the wall built was 2' in height

anyways without further delay here are the pics
