The finished product


This is the current state of the pond. I used a sledge hammer to combine the two lower pools into one and likewise I merged the new big upper pool with the older upper pool. Now there are just two larger pools and the fish are in the upper one, which is a better arrangement because I am pumping the water out of the lower one into the upper one so if the hose from the pump gets knocked out of place and drains the lower pool the fish won't die, a constant concern of mine last summer. The fish are very happy in the upper pool, it is deep in the new part and shallow in the old part and it has lots of plants, some that wintered over and some that I planted this year. The fish are growing at an almost alarming rate, sort of like my nephew.
