So over last two weeks we've made little progress with our pond build due to the weather we've been enjoying. In fact, it seemed that every time we picked up a piece of equipment or tool, even a tape measure or pencil, the heavens would open and the rain would pour down. It was as if whatever was being picked up was the switch, lever or button that instantly opened up some heavenly sluice which resulted in a downpour. So yes, it would appear that we're to blame for all the rain we've been having!

First thing this morning and it didn't seem like today was going to be any different but by 08.00am the rain had stopped and it remained dry for the rest of the day. Making the most of the break in the weather we cracked on and completed a few jobs that we'd been eager to complete as soon as we could. The first of these being the header pond build and the fitting of the skimmer as both needed completing prior to the 19th July (d-day for fibre glassing).

We also wanted to finish off the QT/growing on tank which we managed to achieve today!

We're now keeping our fingers crossed that the weather forecasters have got it right and that conditions stay dry for tomorrow, enabling us to get some more jobs done ... possibly even get the roof completed?
