Constructing the Koi Pond

Home Depot will sell you precious rocks for about $2.75 apiece. That's insane! So, we asked Dawn's grandfather if he knew of someone near his farm in Krum that might have rocks for sale. In the country, it's a bit different... his neighbor is building a beautiful riding stable, and cleared tons of rocks out of the land for that purpose, and was close to paying someone to haul them away!

So, more sweat equity in the pond. We have carried and toted a lot of rocks!

Dawn's inside the pond, carefully placing rocks starting on the below-water shelf and moving on up.	Another view of the rock rim
Well, this is all we've gotten done so far!	I'm freezing my buns off, inside the pond, carefully placing more rocks around the liner.
Reaching back down into the freezing water... egads.	A closeup of the edge of the pond
