I just made sure all rocks were out of the hole and put news paper under my rubber liner. It lasted 10 years without a single leak until I sold the house. Even after 10 years the liner was still soft and pliable.

Made some progress on the renos. I ended up using the old liner as an underlayment to protect the new liner. I decided to throw down some cardboard on all the horizontal surfaces as well.







I then picked up the new pond liner and spread it out on my yard to spray it down. The manufacturer usually coats these liners with talcum powder to help keep the liner from sticking together when it's all rolled up.


I then proceeded to roll it up again so that it was easier to haul over to the pond in my wagon. I then unrolled the new liner in place and started to fill with water.





Hopefully this weekend I can finish up the landscaping around the pond and start on the waterfall.

And here are some of my plants waiting to be returned to the pond.



This bog plant that I grow in the pond has actually bloomed already.
