Never mind the kitchen wall what about the roof of my house.
Day 8 and the base is down.
This woke the neighbours up and gave them something to talk about over their cornflakes.
Looks like a launch pad from NASA.

Absolutely amazing what can be done, 9 cubic metres of concrete pumped over the top of my house and into the base.

It's a lovely shape for a koi pond Gazza.
Yes I think most new pond builds now include a window or three,
There are another 2 windows to go in yet, not sure if this has ever been done before.
All will be revealed as it progress's.

Hey Dotty, whereabouts in Ireland are you? I'm coming over this year, see relatives in Cork and Kerry and then up to Harland and Wolff's.
Put the kettle on...!!
