end of the tunnel is insight

things left TO DO:

replace two cross ties

add rocks

fill......actually i have removed two sump pumps which kept the rhs dry from a leak in the pondliner..this means that the tank is slowly filling and will top it off in the am...the let it warm up.

cut up liner and remove

remove moving blankets from over the rocks on the lhs

remove temporary wall........
