Yipee,
Have to show the pics of husb. putting fountain into one of the new ponds. Rigged up a little boom to carry it out of shed to pond location. He has a lot of patience with bldg. anything.
It is painted with leftover pool paint as after many phone calls to paint companies it is the only kind they said should be OK submerged. If it flakes and the fish eat it they said they would get ulcers. If that happens it will have to be removed from pond. This represents a weeks worth of work. I dig husb. does technical stuff. He has brass shut off valves on all waterlines to control flow rate. Skippy filter is old chlorine tub that I will paint and then paint some flowers on it to help disguise. Also I have more landscaping to do around it. I wanted a drain out of bottom of skippy filter into flower bed so the fish poop should be great for the plants. I put those edging rocks in place and cemented a bit around them. Both new ponds will have river rock on the bottom and already washed and put river rock in little stream between them.
Heres the pics.
