Thanks Luke :D

Bench the feeding shelf, and then depending upon deliveries, bricks round the outside and copings; or else start the block work for the filter room. :D

Looks great Judy I have been watching this come along with great interest. I love the idea of a feeding shelf, should be able to get a good look at Your koi on there.

After 2 hard days work by Jeff and Dave Arnold the pond is finished

Jeff worked very hard to get the coping stones finished so that Dave could glass today. I just need to treat the coping stones and then fill with water (once the filter room is finished!!!!!!)

Lots more pictures on KOIVISTA

P S Dave drank me out of coffee and Jeff out of tea

All the filter room needs doing Gazza :?

Today Jeff laid 2 courses of blocks and put the bottom drain valve on, air line valve on and some of the return pipework.
