What a fantastic journey this has been Chris. From waaaaay back with the initial walkabout and discussion , the tree clearing, the stump removal, the pond building to now, the finishing touches. Kudos to everybody involved. A true labor of Love. Thank you all for your hard and much appreciated work. Can't wait to revisit in a year and see the transformation. Well done everyone!

Chris I cannot imagine the feeling of accomplishment you must feel when you’ve finally completed a project as big and as complex as this one has been! Sure there have been many people working on this with you however you appear to be the go too guy on this pond build! I do wonder if those pond management people were on this project from the beginning or were they brought in later? I’m sure there is plenty of behind the scenes things that we are not privy too!

@snappingbear Жыл бұрын

The pond management folks were brought in much later. The pond's location, layout and design is all Chris. The island, however, exists at the insistence of Mrs. Beale at least that's what Mr. Beale claims. lol.

@Mtlmshr Жыл бұрын

@@snappingbear ya I got that about the island because it appeared that Chris wasn’t a big fan of that! But it’s cool that they are putting so much effort into the fish side of things! I do know that Chris is always talking about “Fish Habitats” in all the pond builds he does however now they are taking a few steps more with the beds and the other things they are doing. Sound like Mr Beale has got some kind of another plan for that island because of the power lines he is running. Got any ideas what that could be? I only follow on the KZfaq stuff at a very basic level.

@snappingbear Жыл бұрын

@@MtlmshrI would bet lights including underwater ones for certain. Maybe a fish feeder but that would be a pain to be refill. A submersible pump for a water feature and power for aerators. Also a networked camera system to provide live feeds. Those are my guesses for the island.
