Here is a picture of the area where I plan to put the pond next year - this is the magic location #3! I used paint software to make a really rough draft of what the finished area will be like. The first thing to do will be to move plants in that area (don't need to move/cut any trees, but I do also need to move at least one hydrangea, about 30 hostas, and an azalea). Next thing will be to dig out an outline about 10 inches deep and to pour the collar for the pond, then hire a fencing company to install the privacy fence. Next will be to dig the hole itself for the pond, install plumbing for the two bottom drains, put in the bottom drains, concrete in around the plumbing, slope the bottom, put in the underliner, then the liner, a few beginning rocks around the top to hold down the liner, sculpt the waterfall (will probably need professional help for this), hook up filter and pump - both external - to plumbing, fill pond, test everything, let it run for 6 or so weeks, THEN it might be ready for koi.

Now...none of you will hold it against me if it is not fish ready until 2010, right?

Piece of cake : )
