Whew..what a project..

Got the pond kit last year..

Waited til it cooled down some here to start..Averaging 70 here in the panhandle..

Here's the pics from start to finish..about 4 days work..


 
I need to see some peacocks in there! 
Please..Please...Please..NO PEACOCKS! They are dirty, noisy birds. I spent two weeks on the Russian River a few years ago in a cabin next door to a guy that had two peacocks. They start at the first light of dawn with a non stop and loud "HONK". They can and will jump over a six foot fence, just to spread their mess around.The birds are a neighbor's nightmare.
 
Thanks fellas!!

Yeah..I know it needs some fish..

No place close to get any kind of goldfish except wally world and I avoid going there.

I will be going over to Panama City this week and will be looking for a pet shop over there...


>>>>>Rick sezed "sweetheart, it not a field, its a pond this is a peacock!"

Hahahahaha thats funny...

I am gonna pick up some coquina coral to put my hens and chicks in next to the pond.

Here'e what they look like...

Peacocks....Hen....Chickens.....How many birds are you putting in there???

Nice looking pond! I have one in my backyard next to my patio, I love it!
 
Whaddaya call a female Peacock?.....The punchline to that joke was the cause of the last time my mother smacked me across the chops. I think I was around 22.

anyway, the yard looks great Craig!!

OK  you guys, you got me.......Never heard of a peacock fish before. It looks like it's related to a dinosaur. Around here the Mosquito Abatement Board will give away free mosquito fish to anyone that brings in a 5 gal bucket. And may your neighbors never buy a peacock (the bird)
