It's great! What is everyone else having?

I made decent progress. I decided to wait until tomorrow to finish digging the bottom drain and bore into the filter pit because groundwater is pushing out my lower wall repairs. I bailed out six five gallon buckets of water from the pond today. But I managed to get some material to stick to the top of the blowouts. Hopefully by Sunday I'll be able to get more of it repaired.

I got the skimmer installed, the 2-in pipe run into the filter pit, the pump mounted and the two output lines connected. I also cleaned out the waterfall filter which was full of mud and rocks.

This is just a pretty spider web I saw on my way out to run the dogs this morning.

Yikes!
Think that will be a problem in the future?

No. I don't think it's a high water table. It's just the rain water making it's way down through the soil. It takes the path of least resistance and that lets it leak into the pond site. Once I have the liner in place it should flow down around it.

Once the liner is filled with water, yes, the water pressure in the pond should hold it back.

Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.

Morning all. Crisp was delicious. Pond looks great.
I am waiting on a plumber this morning. Woo hoo.

A Sat. call for a plumber can't be good...
Thanks for the coffee! Late night out at a wedding so it is VERY much needed.
Enjoy the day!

The proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. I think that this was the hardest digging I've ever had to do.
