Progress has been hindered somewhat again due to cold and wet weather. I use the term "wet weather" very loosely as we've experienced downpours lately that would have seen Noah rubbing his hands together in anticipation! In fact we perhaps should have been building an Ark instead of a Koi pond?
As for cold, i'm not actually making reference to temperature at all, it's actually been quite warm, in fact extremely "muggy". No, the term cold refers to the fact that we've all been quite ill with a cold (aka man-fluenza). The dreaded bugs knocked the three of us for a six and we're only just beginning to feel human again .... well human with immense headaches, bunged up sinuses and snot!
Despite these set backs we've still managed to make some progress ........... (drum roll)
Keiran's pond is finished (fanfare) !
The home made filtration system (thanks to Wifey) is working a treat and Keiran's original fish have given it the fins up too! And seeing them swimming around through the window is absolutely fintastic, we're really glad we decided to go this route as we're chuffed to bits with the outcome. Can't wait to get the window in the main pond installed, which will hopefully be soon.
As for the main pond, again we've made considerable progression. The framework for the filter house is in place and now ready for boarding. We completed putting the roof on yesterday and have just finished fitting the UPVC filter house window, which looks out of the pond. We'll hopefully finish boarding soon (weather permitting of course) so that we can then move on to plumbing in the filtration system.
