OK the nearest can have the first swim in the pond, before any Koi go in there!
How about that, is that a good Prize. And Annette will towel dry you - LOL Unless of course you want Glenn to dry you

Hmmm now if I could remember the dimensions I should be able to work it out. I cant though so I will say

Good luck with the long pain stakeing fill. With Your water pressure You should just about have enough water in there for an early morning Christmas swim

That is going to be some pond guys......
after all the hard work, not only should you enjoy it, but make sure you tell everyone how GOD DAM BIG IT IS.....
Ok, I hope I'm right with this cos I'd like to see the pond & have a swim......and that towel rub is some prize O'yes
I'll plunge at 18,555 Gallons. (but wouldn't it be great to go over the 20 mark )
Good Luck.
