Pond Project
So I decided that I wanted to listen to running water while I sat on the patio. But I didn't want to spend a bundle of money. I decided to try to do it as inexpensively as I could. I spent around $30.00 and a lot of work for the whole thing. I end up with this. What do you think?
This Is the Starting Place.
Digging the Hole Was Actually Fun.
I Had to Catch Myself. I Started to Dig Too Deep
This Will Be the Pond Liner. It Used to Be a Honey Container. Got It for Free.
The Honey Bin in the Ground :o)
Running the Underground Wire Through the Flower Box I Made on the Patio. the Wire Was Given to Me by a Bud From Work. Thanks Gregg!
More Wire...
Still More. I'm Running the Wire for the Water Pump.
This Is the Stone I Collected From the Side of a Highway. Free But a Lot of Lifting. My Back Wasn't Happy.
The Stone Had to Be Laid Out in Order to Wash It Before It Could Be Used.
This Is the First Generation of the Waterfall. I Had to Tear It Apart Several Times Just to Get the Water to Flow Right.
This Is the Final Build.
Close-up. :o)
A Few Plants Around the Pond. I Bought the Plant Off of the "dying Plant Rack" Less Than 5 Bucks
I Still Need to Spread Some Grass Seed to Fill in the Area of Grass I Killed Making This Thing.
Another View......
Still Needs Some Detail Work But Mother Nature Will Help With That.

My Helpers :o)
All Told. I Spent Around $30.00 and a Lot of Work to Make This Great Pond That I Will Enjoy for Years to Come.
