Hi Al
How is it going, I have to agree with one of the comment's it looked great before so I cna't wait to see what the finished pond will look like. Sound's like a fantastic set up, and I am sure you koi will love you even more. Keep us posted to how you are doing. Oh yes, good luck with the rest of the build.

Evenin all,

Things are moving along quite well at the mo, most of the blockwork is done, i need to blend the ring beam into the b'work and the sides are ready for render, then the second base can go down. The return pipework is in, and the side feeds should be done for weekend. A few work comitments have slowed things down a little, but its getting there... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I know it looks a tad high, but the ground levels are coming up, it will all work out, trust me....(cunning plans and all that Gazza) :wink:

Cheers Terry,
Yes i do work full time (ish) been doing early starts and finishes, and yip, i bought myself some flood lights too. Ive been out there most nights gone 10pm, thats why ive not been here much lately...Things wont looked like theyve moved on much for a while tho, theres a lot of bits-n-pieces to sort out.
Hopefully it will be ready for render by sunday evening, but thats not for me, out of my league... :oops: Its down to the weather then, its been freezing here all week and snow today... :shock:

Hi Al
It is looking really good, I bet you are pleased with it, thank's for keeping us posted. I hope you don't mind me asking, but how long do you think it will take before you can get your koi back in it. I think you deserve a medal for speed, well done and keep us posted, I hope the weather is kind to you. Good luck
