Hello everyone and welcolme to my progress thread. As I go along I'll try and keep you up to date with pics and info and hope I can get some tips and help from you guys in return.
Just to give you some background information I moved into my new house in May and the first thing I wanted done was to build a koi pond and thats where I met my first hurdle THE MISSES!!! She wanted a new kitchen as much as I wanted a new Koi pond so after that battle and help from Nishikiboy I kind of turned her around,I think!
So the build commenced and I ordered in the digger and Help from My Sister's boyfriend who owns his own gardning company and my friend Micheal who is on the digger in the pic.
The plan is to build around the conservatory so feeding and viewing can be done from inside as well as out side. I will be using two drains, one aerated. Half the pond will be 6 foot and the other half 3foot using 6 inch concrete base and hollow blocks for the walls. It will be a raised pond and the top will be 8 inches from the window sill.
I hope you get the idea of what I want once it is complete and look forward to your suggestions.
Dan
