Had a day where I didnt do too much today. My elbows and knees feel better for it.

Walls have mostly dried out now, just the base to go.

Going to Howletts tomorrow, taking Daisy out for the day.

I dont think it will be dry enough on Friday (maybe), so I'll probably do it on Sunday.

Supposed to have been warm today, but out of the sun it was really chilly.

Sunny tomorrow and Friday and hopefully Saurday as well. Perhaps that will do it and glassing on Sunday!

Just tidying everything up, ready for Glassing on Sunday.

Couple of area's not fully dried out yet though, even though it's been warm. Last night I put 2 electric heaters in there and an electric fan to direct the heat at key places. Kept the cover on, but left a couple of area's so the moisture could get out. Worked great and nearly dried it all out overnight.

Will keep the heaters in there tonight to ensure it hardens off well, then fill and put back into service tomorrow.

Thanks Mark

I'm expecting around 500 gallons, but havent even tried to work it out yet to roughly see. I'll fill it with a flowmeter tomorrow, as I need to know how much the overall system has increased by, should I need to treat the pond/filter in the future.
