Unless some fish go in the shallows, I don't think the Heron can get to the fish off the edge of the pool. Now if he happens to be a diver, that's another story.

Good thing Rushes grow fast. The little ones will be taking more diggers I'm sure....

Tuggerd, once your pond is filled up, you should do a MFK meet at your place. All of us could fly down from the USA to your resort :D

Feel free to come on down and check out the sites. I'd be glad to help anyone out who wants to visit a cool country. With regards to the pool/pond, lets see if it holds water.

I'm really happy with how the varnish looks on the pebbles. I varnished this part because it will be dry most of the time.

The divider between the wet and dry steps.

The bog again. We re-sealed the bottom where the pipe comes in. Hopefuly we got the leak.

Here's my multi station electrical unit. It has a timer for two different outlets. So that I can run the skimmers individually when I want.

The sidewalk is about done with the white rock work.

Could someone please let me know how to put the heading of my pictures right over the picture? Thank's

I'm really happy with the white concrete work.

The external varnish really brings out the colors of the rocks.

Here's the repair job on the bottom of the bog. I hope this works.

Round 2 is going to be a dusy. We found more leaks. The whole floor droped a couple of mm. It was enough to make a little crack along the bottom corner. Now we're going to strick re-bar into the walls. Poor about 5 centimeters more of cement and attach the walls to the floor better. I guess the weight of all that rock was too much.

This should add a couple more days to the project. CRAP!!!!!
