A reminder of the the house we built in Tak Province
For details of that construction see "A New Village House"
Anyway, we have 5 koi in a 1 cu m pool in Bangkok, that really have to be re-housed, so we decided to build a pond in front of the house. So I started reading about koi ponds. Koi keeping is quite a sub-culture, but using the guidelines recommended on KoiPhen and other sites we opted for a simple 6 cu m pond with an upstream jar, a rill flowing into a water garden before returning the flow to the main pond. The rill would require a bridge. One pump for filter circulation and one pump on a timer for the waterfall. More details later.
As with the main house, the idea was to give the builder drawings with rough dimensions, pipe layouts and photographs of what we wanted, and let him get on with it. (Heresy ! I hear you cry). Work in Bangkok and the drive is 6 hours. (London to Newcastle) so it was very hands-off project.
Lets see if this gets posted. (I had forgotten how tricky posting photographs is)
