Duck Pond Progress

The pond has water!


We finished the digging yesterday.  Or perhaps more accurately got tired of digging. 
Today we tried to build up the walls around the pond to prevent runoff and junk getting
in, and to give it a bit of shape.  Plus the ducks needed an easy access ramp for getting
in and out.


Then we put some sand down to protect the liner.  Probably more sand would
have been better, this is just what we had on hand.  Here you can also see the
duck entrance.


Finally the liner.  We already had to go back to the store twice to return the liner
and get a bigger one.  This 13' x 20' is the biggest home depot had.  Another
reason to stop digging.
