I wish....

Future garden projects include sprinklers for the rest of the garden, a small sala next to the house and overlooking the stream, a platform for the spirit house, a catchment and drainage system for the roof runoff on the pond side of the house, a mini-garden with small fountain or pond off the kitchen and more.

A gardener's work is never done....

Yes, it is lovely and truly tranquil. Great job and it seemed so fast. Hope you have a nice perch there to drink beer and enjoy it. What colour are the fishies?

buad hai · 12-09-2007, 01:56 PM

^Many nice spots from which to consume a beer or two.

Once the pump arrives and the water clears up I'll get some fish photos. These are typical Comets: orange, black and white.

pugforever · 12-09-2007, 02:41 PM

lovely pond indeed!

ceburat · 13-09-2007, 11:51 PM

Buadhai you sure have a beautiful pond. Great thread. I just reviewed it all tonight.

The EPDM, PVC and HDPE quality type liner you wanted to buy. You said they only sell in 100 meter rolls. How wide is the roll? Do you remember price for a roll that large? Can you provide contact information? Also the same type of information for the underlayment. Thank you

buad hai · 14-09-2007, 07:57 AM

Liner and Underlayment: Service and Distributor for HDPE, PVC & GEOTEXTILE - PREMIER LINING PLAS BANGKOK THAILAND

Underlayment: Thai Foam

The liner comes in various widths. I've seen anything from a meter wide to four meters wide. The cost for a hundred meter roll of a meter wide HDPE was about 7000 baht.

Boon Thai Hardware (near the Korat night market -- name in English on the shop) can order liner but only in 100 foot rolls.

Where are those dam fishies?

Patience. Pump still on the way so the main pond is still a bit cloudy. And, the fish are still quite shy....

dirtydog · 14-09-2007, 01:07 PM

What do you mean the fish are quite shy? They wont even know what a camera is

They stay on the bottom of the pond and only come up briefly to feed....

I'm trying to work up a model release now....

Jet Gorgon · 14-09-2007, 01:23 PM

^ You mean they were on Vogue covers?
Get Mrs B to throw them bread crumbs and then snap away when they come up. You don't need a photo stylist; you do good pics.

ceburat · 14-09-2007, 07:04 PM

Thank you

buad hai · 14-09-2007, 08:09 PM

This is the best I could do on the fish. The sun wasn't out and the fish were skittish, but they came up for food:

The stream is looking good:

As I'd hoped, the roots of the grass have grown right down through the clay into the laterite:

The_Dude · 15-09-2007, 12:45 AM

BH,
From the looks of your pics, it seems that the water is clearing up. Very nice. Looks peaceful. I imagine you get alot of people peering over your fence. I thinking you have no privacy at times.

Jet Gorgon · 15-09-2007, 04:23 AM

Wow! Looks better with every post, BH, and thanks for the fish flicks! They are very pretty.

DrAndy · 15-09-2007, 02:31 PM

buad hai · 15-09-2007, 02:37 PM

^Wanna go for a swim, Dr. Andy?

DrAndy · 15-09-2007, 03:03 PM
