So ... come Mother's Day 2005, it was time to dig 'er up and toss the bucket! (actually I saved the bucket to provide some sort of filteration/help to my poor fish who survived the winter and had to do a weekend campout in a really large cooler. After a few hours of digging, back filling, tamping down, stopping around and generall all-around cussing and sweating, we raised the old pond for its new job description: Waterfall basin and mega filtration system.

Here was phase one. As you might be able to tell, the old liner is reinforced with pressure treated 4x4's (left over from the next extension to the deck) and they were firmly seated in the ground with concrete. All said and told the upper lip was raised 42" off the ground.
