[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 107197, member: 484"] Well its been a hectic week. Rained some, so I had some time to cruise the boards. The pond I am working on now is a bit larger than most, almost two acres. Thursday we unloaded 48000 pounds of stone for the water falls and grotto. We will start on it on Wednesday, hopefully when the fountain comes in. We are currently pumping almost 200 gallons a minute into the pond from a creek that is 1000 feet away. As you can see, almost 7 feet of water within 24 hours. As you can see, some of the rock we had to move around were the size of full sized pickups. Several will be on the outside as accent pieces, while others will be deep in the pond. One will be half out and half in the water. I liked it because it kinda looks like the sphinx from the side. Will post photos of it when it gets a bit fuller. The water will be right at the flat spot if I measured it right. Weighed over 30 ton. Safety is of utmost concern. Also on the agenda for this week is the planning of a beaver habitat at the wildlife rescue. Dont have any money so this one will be a freebie. Right now they only have a concrete pad and chain link fencing. A 10 gallon tub is all the water they have. d [ATTACH=full]111[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]112[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]113[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
