With the new pond in the ground and 95% complete it is time to get rid of the old pond shell and peripherals. I dragged them out to the yard and took pictures. I then listed them on craigslist since I really don’t think I can ship it. One of the pond shells had a huge crack in it so I just cut it up with a jig saw and put it in the recycling bin.
I worked on the hydrant plumbing again this week and thought I had it finally water tight. But no, it has a tiny pinhole leak so I get to try again. I did manage to drain and refill the pond while it was not leaking. My health has been somewhat poor this week, so I have to put off finishing the pond another weekend. There is a plant sale at my church today so I can at least add to my garden.
I went and looked at fish at my local pond supplier but didn’t leave with any. I may get a few fancy goldfish before I put Koi in the pond to make sure it is inhabitable. The Shibukin look like small koi so they may be a good choice.
