Default The Pond at Grizzly Acres

Alrighty then peeps, if I didnt have enough to do the wife asked if we or should I say "I" could build a pond at the end of the driveway by the house, oh boy here we go again!!

A little back ground info back to where it all started.....

Last yr we had to move the gas meter from the most rediculas spot it could have even been put to a more out of the way location. SO....I started digging by had right at the meter to see how far the lines where buried. After a couple hrs. and almost 4' down I still had not found the where the pipe bends & heads south, enough was enough so I had to rent a mini backho.




We got it all dug out and the meter moved fairly fast & I still had time left on the hr meter to use so I figured now is as good a time as any to stat the pond. I had to remove the Allen Block wall as it was all crooked and just plain wacked & started digging.





Move forward to this yr. when the weather cooperated.......


Once the wall was put back up nice straight & level I started to form ledges all the way around the perimeter to have some where to set plants on once the pond was full.
