Pond - day 3 and 4

Thursday:

Pump, filter and waterfall cleaned
Digging finished
Smoothed with sand
Matting and liner in place
Filled with water
Pump started and running OK

Lowest point of liner is along back edge.
Extend liner up behind edging here (nailed to sleeper through a thin batten) so it can be filled right up to this level.

Friday:

Homebase -
10 slabs for front edging
6 rustic bricks, bag of stones, batten for back edging
Cement

World of Water -
3 bags of gravel
2 curved baskets and liners
Bag of aquatic soil

Laid front edging
Arranged bricks along back, levelled surface with sand (1 more brick needed - damn)
Nailed batten in place above bricks, lightly holding them down

Lowered bucket with fish and plants into deepest part - not ideal but they looked as if they were becoming oxygen-starved.
