I have read a post that was very similar but just can't pull the trigger. I would get a lot of satisfaction out of doing it myself but I am not trying to waste money...ideas?


I think it is best that you get someone who knows what they are doing to build the pond otherwise it may leak and you would be wasting more money than you wanted to originally.
