Sorry, I'm actually updating this thread in the Outdoor Ponds subforum. I've gotten the pond almost completely dug, I just need to take part of the bottom down another 8-12" and slope the whole thing towards that end. Then I'll buy the liner, buy a pump, and start building either my bog filter or my diy skimmer. I'm also going to go to the bulk sand company, and see about getting a bunch of rocks to put around the pond, to hold the liner down and as decoration.
I went down to the Falls of the Ohio on Sunday with my gf, and I collected a bunch of driftwood. Some really neat pieces. Check out the pics in the pond section.
