New Waterfall

Building a pond was a very rewarding project. Not knowing whether I could complete the work was challenging each day. Preparation was the most important aspect of the job. Having researched very little, it became clear to me very early in the construction that I was going to have obtain more information. So I did. Pet stores, books and the intermet were some of the sources I used in learning the best and most proficient way to complete my task.
I took me about eight weeks to finish the bare bones of the pond but was enough to fill with water, run a filter and stock my pond with some very beautiful Koi.

The Waterfall was very challenging. Adding a water feature after the pond is completed is a little tricky because unlike with the inital construction you have to be sure the foundation of the waterfall is sound and the trickling water is feed back into the pond. It took some time getting it right and I am very happy with the final results.
