I have everything with the pond done except the final connection now. Rebuilt the waterfall and arranged the surrounding area. It looks ok. We need plants!! We need them for around the Bogs and in the bogs. I will try to get Pictures tomorrow.

I picked up the parts and work the pond today. Looks ok, but still need the pump to connect to the bog inlet. The connection failed again. I am going to move the leaky connection back into the pond to reduce on water loss. Hope to get it done tomorrow. I need to redo the falls as things have changed. Once I get it done I will take some pictures.

Well, I got up and started on the pond expansion. It was an all day project and I still have tomorrow to complete the task. Digging went fine. Placement went fine. Most connections went fine. 🙁 I have a leaky connection on the inlet for the 110 gal tank. The output connections are fine and the disbursement in the the bottom o f the 110 gal are all fine. The leak did not start right away, but I think it has to do with not finding the correct fitting for connecting through the tank. I also found that the final connection to the pump will not work due to corrugated pipe mismatch (actual match) in diameter. I will need to make a different kind of connection there. Any way the gravel is being washed and all looks fine. I just need to correct these last two items and all is good to go.

I went and picked up Bean’s ashes today and put them next to Truman’s on the mantle. Picked up pipes for pond and did some grocery shopping while out and about. Dug up the papyrus and planed it in pots and put in pond. Also cut the grass, putting me way ahead for the weekend. Just need to do some cooking and i’m in a good position for dealing with next week. nothing big happening just that I still need to go to work.

This sure was a long week! Hell it has been a long month. We may have arrived home May 18th but it seems like an entire year has passed and the month does not come up until tomorrow. Stopped at tractor Supply and picked up a 40 gallon tank and a 100 gallon tank. These will be used to expand the pond this weekend. Just worked on the computer and caught a rerun on tv.
