oh yah, it gets to -30 to -40 degrees C all the time, but only where the bridge will be , oh did i mention that there will be a bridge that goes from the deck to the sitting spot on the other side, this will provide a nice shady deap area.

thanks for the comments, now get digging its easyer then it looks, and just incase your wondering, no i have no idea what im doing, this is all just guess work. no joke. :D

ok well spring is in the air... but the snow is still on the ground. i live in southern canada remember. but on a good note, its going to be like 12*C tomarow.

Im thinking that re-ground breaking will be in about a month maybe two depending on rain and snow fall if there is anymore to come. then the frist project will be to finish the filter at the top of the water fall then the water fall then dig down a bit deaper in the pond, pore a concreet ring going around the pond then the liner rocks stones sand, intake box, footings for the arbour, pattio, garage and finaly the driveway.... but this is going to go onto the next two years for sure(money time and everything...)

I need money for the project so i need to work and if i work then i cant work on my pond so you see my delema...

that can only happen AFTER the pond is built. You know after a nice wine and dine date I'l take he home to see my waterfall and pond let ker plat with the koi and then she will fall in love with me, psssh common man...

I tried going out there today after two days of 12*C and i nearly didnt make it back, luckly all i lost was my shoe, and not my life, the clay feild nearly swallowed me up. but now that i can see the ground again im all fired up to skin my hands and knees raw and brake my back. I realy cant wait, who needs the gym, your all invited to help me hull rocks up the hill. huh, huh.... no ok fine all the fun shall be mine then... :D
