Not got very much further with the pond as we`ve been away for a week`s holiday. It`s three quarters full of water (can`t fill to the top as the beach still has to be laid). Had to partially empty it yesterday as the soil below the beach area wasn`t level. Have put that right and refilled it.
The next thing is the beach. But it`s too warm and sunny to do it as I have to lay mortar on the liner then stick small pebbles in it, a time consuming job. As the pond is in full sun the exposed black liner will get hot and the mortar will probably set before I can finish the beach, even if I do it in sections. I really need a cool cloudy day.
Then there are the edging stones to cement in place. They are in place now but only loose layed. Will also have to cut some with a disc cutter to fill some gaps.
At least we have some wildlife in the pond, have seen two or three frogs already.
