The pond arrived today, it was quite a struggle to lift it over the back fence, but the three of us eventually managed it. Finish is good it was just a bit dusty, just two small pieces to rub down ( i might just be being fussy ) i did ask him to make the return flush but he has left them sticking out slightly ( hacksaw and gold label to the rescue ). He has also covered the holes where the skimmer guard goes, so i will have to pilot the holes myself and seal the screws, so on the whole nothing major..

I hadn't realised it was that big until I saw the second photo, it makes you look tiny.
