How is the color holding up and do you have any current pics? Assuming you mean the deck stain, it is worn....but not horribly so. Since we are about 3-1/2 years past the application, I would say it looks about as I would have expected with midwest temps and precip. I don't have any current "up close" pics, but you raise a good idea for documenting wear and tear on that brand of stain. It's now on my list; thx.
When did you reach "full" status It took 19 months. The PB forum summary is here.
Our personal summary is here.
...and how is the pond holding water over time? It holds well, but we do suffer from evaporation, particularyly since we only have about 60 acres of runoff feeding 5 acres. We knew this was a little less than an ideal inflow, but having decent depth helps alot. I never took empirical measurement for evaporation, and I still maintain that we might have some leakage somewhere that is more than a pinhole, but the package works.
