Broke through 1" of ice on a pond today to put in a winter aeration system. That was fun. Slide the aluminum boat out on the ice, get in the boat, use an ice spud to shove it out even further, break thru the ice, measure water depth to put the diffuser in the water at the proper height, have a guy on shore pull on the rope that is attached to the boat and chop through the ice the whole way back to get the airline to sink to the bottom of the pond. Put in 4 diffusers that way, about one every 45 minutes.....
