It took a really long time and I still only got half way thru. I'll go back until I make it to the end. What a great thread the “How many Ponders are out there”. I thought I'd start another since the other is soooooo huge and would be hard for the dial ups. I have two small ponds and am expecting to build another bigger one this year. This is my birdbath/fountain pond. Kinda wraps it all into one. It is an Antique cement birdbath with a hole that runs thru it. We were helping friends move and they weren't going to take it with them so I brought it home. My son made me a concrete well approx 3 ft deep and 5 ft wide. He poured it with a pedestal in the center to sit my birdbath on. We put a pump in the bottom of the well and ran flexible pipe thru the well pedestal and the birdbath pedestal. The fountain is just enough to break the surface not disturb the birds and then the water runs over the edge and back into the well. I put a piece of driftwood in the bowl for the birds to perch on. Here is a picture of the bare bones.
