The Pond

I wanted to have a small water feature in the back near the patio and I got way more than a small fountain. The pond took weeks to complete, mostly becasue this is our (and by our I mean Corey's) second pond. Just in case anyone wants to build their own small water feature, I am posting insturctions...







Step One: Dig a gigantic hole in the ground.











Step 2: Fill hole with liner and rocks.

The liner was huge, but then again so was the hole.






















Step 3: Add water and build a water fall. Looks good huh? We have added more plants both inside the pond and around...you'll see!


Step 4: Add fish. We have one Koi, who we call Master Koi and 10 goldfish. They started out small, but they have grown a lot!






One more project done...


This is the sitting portion of the patio. On the other side there is a bar (I'm working on that post today too) I stripped the paint off the floor, and Corey and I are going to stain the concrete. I will let you all know how that goes.
