there are still a few more bits of building work to do yet, rounding off the corners on the inside. then the pond is going to be fibreglassed, this will include the inside of the window frame and one inch of the actual window.
at present the weather is holding up proceedings. there is from 1 inch to 5 inches of water in the bottom of the pond (deep end).
mark is going to make and fit the filters before glassing the pond so they can be attached together at the same time.

note to John:- your welcome to pop over any time you like.
