Thanks Yall!!
At 46 y/o I feel it is my finest mental and physical achievement working through the pain and exhaustion. It took 8 consecutive days to excavate with 2 of those off. Temps near 100, 104 one afternoon . I had it full of water in 10 days
I accomplished this ALONE and only used my mower with a dump cart.
Drank coffee and "smoked" all day.
I spent the next couple of months moving, moving, and moving again tons of dirt. Theres 10 tons of rock moved at least twice some 4 or 5 times.
I AM PROUD!! And my neighbors know Im crazy!!!

I had sick fish in a tub (overcrowded). Got lucky and bought used equipment. So it was time to dig!
I have about $2700 ($1500 on rock alone) and hundreds of hours in it. It has 3 water features.
You know what it is to have it done. I could never afford it.

Yea it's definitely not cheap. $2700 isn't bad at all for that sized pond. New liner, skimmer box, waterfall box and pump would cost that easily. I like the log over the falls.
I use that trick all the time.

That looks nice! My Spring project is to redo the fall similar to yours. I have another pump and have an idea for a fall inside a fall. Hope I can make it work. Oh hell, its just time and a little work. Me and a shovel get along now.
I can turn the water over 2 1/2 times anhour and have 80 watts of UV available. LOTS of equipment.
