thanks for those kind words
as to having rental properties a long way away, we usually let the tenants get it fixed by some local tradesman and bill us

You been doing this for 5 years! I am starting at the beginning and reading itin sequence. have to ask. Are you not nervous about all the nasty things that slither about?
no, I love them, they are fascinating
the only nasty things that bother me are mosquitoes, they are a pain but can be put off
We deepened it to about 3 or four metes but erosion makes it less
The pond is tidal and connected to the canal irrigation system
when they let water down from the mountains, the pond level rises, and the fish and eels come in
when the canals are dry, the water level in the pond stays fixed due to our gate
it seems to be a good ecosystem with lots of wildlife
I have reported your post
so, at last the tiling is done! needs a bit of cleaning and repainting but this is what the deck looks like now
close up...whose is that toe?
overall view
Looks nice Andy!
Get the pond sorted....
nothing wrong with the pond, Carryboy
full of all sorts of life, and nice to swim in too
the water may look murky, that is because it is
the subsoil is clay so gets stirred up all the time by the fish and birds etc and hangs in suspension
Shame you lost the deck, something about wood over water that evokes all sorts of things, but that ought to last.
yep, wet-rot and scorpionsOriginally Posted by Necron99
but yes, it was nice
Yes one of your builder was getting paid trying to learn to lay blokes!Well done that man .That has amused me thanks DrAndy good luck with it.
thanks Dave
as you can read, it was finished some time ago but, as with all houses, needs constant maintenance and upkeep
nope. that wouldn't workOriginally Posted by Carrabow
read my post above
You could dump a few lily type plants in the pool. They help to keep the water clean. In fact, any aquatic plants will help the eco system.
the water is clean!!
lots of lilies in there already
^ Oh just drain the bastard and concrete the bottom to shut them up!
yes, OK
