The Pond - part 2!


Yes, that is correct, part two. Part one started a long time ago with other people, but part two. Ah, yes; yesterday evening we put in the pond liner. The pond liner wieghs about 200 lbs and until it is unrolled(thank God for that), is not particularly unwieldy. Here you can see the four of us (I am taking the picture) midway through the laying down process. The second picture is with the liner laid out.
However, before we could lay out the liner, we had to remove all the weeds that might have punctured the liner as well as all the big rocks and pieces of soil that would have kept it from laying flat. The next step is going to consist of forming the liner to the hole in the ground and then covering it with rocks and gravel.
Now you might be wondering how we are going to form this perfectly flat sheet to a rounded impression in the ground. Very simply by laying out. You read me, we are just going to lay down for awhile and let our body heat and weight strech the liner until it is perfect! But you are just going to have to wait until part three of the Pond Saga to find out more...
