Talking of brambles you have all that room in the back of your garden for another pond when ever this one is finished. Hope the backs improving I know how bad it can get!!

David - yes I did attack the brambles. but they are back!!!!!!

Stu - Big pile of earth there, did once think about having a mud pond there with a poly tunnel over the top.

Hi Bob

Just wanted to say you have done a brilliant job with everything so far and it is looking really good, well done to everyone who helped as well

So hows the roof stood up to these high winds, its a good test of its strength. Hope everything is ok with it and there are no emergency repairs to make. If it is damaged you could always make a nice concrete roof over the whole thing and construct 12 inch walls all around and call it a nuclear fallout shelter.
Seriously hope all is well with it!!!!

Thanks for the though Stu, all is well I'm pleased to say.

Have certainly been concerned though

StuW · Post by **StuW** » Tue Mar 11, 2008 8:01 pm

well I was worried about my fence panels being blown away so it must have been a bit scarey with that huge roof, couldnt even hold on to it, remember how bad the marquee was at cuttlebrook last Koi Quest Day and that was half the size of your roof and no comparison in wind strength, could have been collecting it from the English Channel with you sitting on it

happy its still up and in one piece. So no damage at all????

So is there further construction for this large project in the near future Bob???

I know you have many things to do in the pipeline

Loads of construction, but very little time!!!

Was away last weekend and should be tied up doing some more work this weekend, but the weather may put paid to that. If so I'll do some more on my filtration - now I have a roof I can work even if it is raining!!!!!

Though Bob,I know you work long hours

But at least it is staying a little lighter at night giving you extended outside time?!

Currently fixing Daisy's computer again, in fact I've had to replace it. Otherwise evenings are usually in the garage constructing things from fibreglass.

Hopefully soon though, I'll be able to get outside in the evenings and crack on.

Yeah but, I have a kitchen being delivered on the 12th April, so all pond work has to stop for that.

Just to take delivery,well that's only one day to put on hold
