Yes, it's man, and thanks for the welcome. Been reading voraciously for couple weeks now - so much so my wife thinks I'm definitely up to something in my office...

"How can a hole in the ground take so much time and planning?"

Suffice it to say, if one needs to pose that question, they certainly won't understand the answer.

Cheers, and thanks again. Looking forward to sharing the process of developing my ponds with you all.
