Mini Saga #2: Water Feature

When we purchased our house 5 years ago, we imagined that we would reactivate the long forgotten and unloved water feature . . . how hard could it be? Overgrown, cracked concrete with dirt and leaf filled pools? Just imagine the soothing trickling of running water . . . ahhh . . . relaxing.

Well let me tell you something about ponds. Serious business. In the 5 years we have been here I have spent several hours scratching my head thinking about pumps and liners and how seaworthy the plumbing that seemed embedded in the concrete was . . . always ending up with . . . "Nah. Not worth it".

Well apparently it took a determined Andrea to get the whole project off the ground. She lit the fire, did the leg work, and i designed, or undesigned rather, the pump flow system thing.
