Wonderful Timing...
 

Well I am on Anual Leave next week with no planed excursions with the family..

Setting myself up to sort out my pond properly and do lots of work on the roadster.

Just been to the doctors to confirm a suspicion that I have an Ingrinal Hernia :( so no shifting of anything other than light loads.

So the engine and Diff aint getting removed from the car, and many other hefty jobs will get put back. I can't rotate the chassis for final works underneath.

Hopefully I will find enough reasonable jobs to do that will progress things along rather than just pi....ng about.

Pond could be a nightmare as there's lots of sand needed and it needs to be finsihed before the onset of winter...

hope you get it sorted pal :)
if you were closer id say id happily help out I love ponds haha !! :p

Cheers :)

This pond replaces a raised one where the wooden supports were failing. I have had to dig a big hole to half sink an IBC container which is the new raisd pond.

I now need to re-clad round it to make it look nice and backfill the gap with sand to act as insulation and support.... And then move another 70KG IBC over the pond to where it needs to be to act as a settlement tank..

I will have to get a couple of freinds round when heavy bits need doing, the wife was getting annoyed when there were two IBC's on the decking but I think she still wants the other moved LOL.....

I think lifting and shifting 1/2 Cubic meter of soil has been a contributing factor to the injury.. And shifting gearbox, engines and wheels...

:confused: What on earth is IBC---impressively big container?

Big placcy box in a cage......

Close.

Intermediate Bulk Container.

£30 a pop for a 1000L unit. Proper fishy holding tanks that size cost hundreds.

good for holding rain water as well, what type of fish are you keeping in them, Ive got 2 Koi's 1 carp, 2 gold fish, 6 roach 6 guppies and several things that I can't tell what they are yet but bthey are in a pond and not an IBC

Orf , generic koi, shibumkins, a tench, probably one or two others...

I had a beautiful ghost carp till earlier this year when the bad weather just hit them too hard.

I do have about 10 fry though which is nice.. Hopefuly get some good little fishies growing in to bug guys :)
