This is a typical pre-rebuild picture. I looks good, but note that the small falls to the left has been turned off due to the filter problems. |

My pets. Colorful, don't have to walk them, and I'm not allergic! The water isn't bad here, but could/should be so much better. |

The final straw, making me know I need to rebuild the pond this year. The top flat rock on the falls shifted just a little bit, water started to seep under the liner, down the hill under the falls, and in less than two days there was more water under the liner than in the pond! Glad I caught this in time. |

I hired some day labor to move the rocks. I was hoping to keep him for the whole job, but he has a significant motivation problem. |

This is the temporary pond, known as a 300 gallon stock tank. I may use this as a 2nd smaller pond in the future. |

This is the new fancy filter unit. I'll write more as it is installed. |

The "hill" for the waterfall will need a lot of work. |
