Hi all,
A quick update,
The developer is now proving to not be as helpfull as first thought :x
The wall is now down and the garden has been leveled :P this is where i was now going to have a nice big hole dug , now im not doing the wall myself and he is, it would all be to much of a rush i think what with the winter months on the way and all that rain due :? :?

So have decieded not to rush things and will do it next spring :shock: :shock:

Mind you it would of been nice to have that digger do it mind , it was just so effortless i can tell you,

Now next year , what do you think would be better,

Have them linked together so fish can swim in between each pond ( this would invole alot of digging)
OR
Have a speperate pond which gravity overflows into old pond and returns via filters to the top pond , thus giving the same gallonage but in two seprate ponds (a lot less digging/muck away ) :lol: :lol:
A few pics

Its a shame you have decided to wait Danny...think of all that digging you will have, and then there is the soil disposal.... :cry:

That jcb would of saved so much work and they would have took the soil as well....
~I wouldn't worry about winter and the rain mate, it all dries out in the end....

Jason,
when i say hes not playing ball im mean that yes all the muck was going to get spread over the site but now hes saying no :twisted:
so im going to have to pay for muck away anyway so it will only cost me the hire of a digger come spring, and what with having no time to do it now as well i think it best left to spring now :roll: :roll:

Hi Danny,

Impressive set of pictures mate, garden looks great all levelled off. Pity he wont dig the hole though, wont he do it if you paid for the muck away?
