Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Building a dam here goes .. dam going in

Hey Mike, I think you are a great guy. In no way, shape or form was I intentionally being hostile towards you. I voiced my concerns, gave you constructive feedback and then wished you the best. Then I get publicly flogged and ridiculed by a moderator. Nothing has changed, my concerns are the same. My thoughts are the same, when you drain it down, inspect the foundations of the embankments and the dam, also the pond bottom. See if you can get a geologist to do multiple cores in those same locations and interpret results.

I am sorry if I came across harsh or offensive. I am not going to blame it on being a new member, I gave you my honest opinion new or not. If I was a troublemaker it would have shown in the other 6 or 7 threads I posted in.

I just about cringed every time they late hit, cheap shotted and tried to intentionally injure a first ballot HOF QB Brett Favre. Luckily the NFL instituted rules to protect the QB or he might be dead. Was a sad day and ended badly as it appeared they wanted the Saints to advance.

I have to go as I feel as bad as Brett but I have these bus marks across my back. Again, and sincerely, I love the photos and your pond, I hope it turns out great for you and your family.

The Pond Frog

What a wonderful pond! Love the rock and the falls.



And I know how you Favre fans are feeling. My boy Kurt Warner got pummeled by the Aint's. Not a Manning fan but will be this SB.

No offense taken Pond Frog .. keep the good info comin

So yeah .. about Farve .. I agree with all the above .. But .. With head hung low and shame in my admission .. I am ....... gulp .... swallow .. a .... deep breath .............................. giants fan .. ok there, I said it,

Myself, not much of a SF Giants fan, but I do root for anyone who plays the Yankee's.

Ok, thread read start to finish.

Mike, that project or yours is amazing. Just awesome. I love that waterfall and all the rock. Way to go and hope this little bump in the road is just that.

Keep the updates coming.

Mike, I like your taste is NFL teams I too am a Giants fan, even in bad years like this past one was!

I also love all the rock work you did with your pond. Not only some great fish habitat, but a work of art as well!

Oh, I'll weigh in on the NFL team favorites... Being an 80s kid I grew up idolizing Rice and Montana so naturally I'm a die hard Niners fan. Ouch!

OK, more about Favre, one of my home boys. He really got a raw deal, not only from the lack of officiating, but also by many so called sports writers who never took to the field except to give a lame interview.
Brett rolled out right, limping, could have made maybe 5 yds. then out f bounds. The ball would have been placed at the hash mark for a 50 yarder. Or, if he could have gotten rid of the ball exactly 0.38 seconds quicker, to the 4th option receiver, it would have been a completion, ball in center of field and a 35 yd. field goal; then he would have been the hero; it would have been the most gutsy play of his long and esteemed career.
Announcer, Troy, of the too many concussions, could not let go of how terrible the decision was. Look at the replays; Sidney was open, the DB just closed quickly and made a good play. How far can he go in 0.38 seconds. Well 40 yds. in 4.3. You do the math; pretty damn far.

Hope everyone has had a great winter and is looking forward to getting some work done on ponds this year .. I know I am

I am not sure this thread is appropriate for this topic .. if not would the moderators please move it to an appropriate thread ..

My question .. I need some practical ideas for finishing the edge of my pond .. all the rough work is complete .. lots and lots of water .. seeding is next in line but I need to finish the edge .. any ideas are welcome ..

Hello ... anyone .. Is everyone out working on their pond ?

Hey, Mike, glad to hear from you. Do you have any current pics? That may help get some creative ideas flowing if we can all see what you're getting ready to work with.

Yea Mike lets have more photo's, did your pond get any more damage after that Jan. gully washer?

Hey there is life out there on the forum .. figured maybe everyone was still hibernating .. weather here is unbelievable .. 86 degrees on April 3rd .. Farmers all working land ..

Yes .. absolutely Ill get some pics .. supposed to be nice again tomorrow morning (Easter Sunday)

And no ..no more damage to the waterfall ... I took the safe road and opened the bottom drain to keep the waterfall intact until it got repaired .. bought me some time to think ..

Hope all is well with everyone out there .. Have a fantastic Easter .. will post tomorrow
