THE POND

Nearly finished. Just have to buy the bird netting to stop the herons coming to dinner. 

Capping Tiles

Here is Owen with his apprentice laying the capping tiles on the LEVEL pond surround 

Liner in place

That's right! The liner is in place and the water is slowly rising. Bricks in the bottom will be removed when the water has risen sufficiently 

Happy couple

Yes, happy couple of workers making sure the top is LEVEL 

Pond without the liner

Sides built up but still not sufficiently level 

Very hot

It was so hot we had to put up what was left of the old umbrella! 

Raising the Level

Tough work some time early 2005 

Pond footings

big enough to support the Eifel Tower
