tehjaeh57, You're pumped... I've had OCD since the start and this site has everything to do with it! I would like any advice. from anyone willing to share. I'm a novice at best with setting up a pond. The very day they started digging, I was laid-off from work. I have not regretted this decision at all! I hadn't thought about the ability to change direction if needed but it's good to know. I'll post some updated pics soon. Stocking advice would be welcomed!
