[quote=Drahts]Sunil, I need to take new pics, here is one I took when we were doing home inspection.

This one is after we moved in of the fireplace.

Here is a pot rack we saw on the internet, wife wanted one just like it.

so tried hand at it and came up with this, how'd I do?

GKLOP, do you aerate your pond? If so what kind of system did you put in. And did you do the same for your water treatment?
Another question for the forum is should I aerate? The pond has been in use for 8 years so far without but I want to be proactive for my purposes.
And y'all, I appreciate all your comments.
I want to try to add a larger pond down the road but don't think my
terrain is going to offer that. Unbelievable, being up in the mountains in the Appalachians, I have SAND. Most neighbors who have ponds (most are 1/4 acre or smaller) had to line the ponds to get them to hold water.

Wanting 1.5 acres or better, not sure I'm going to be able to do this. But its down the road, plenty of projects currently going on. Here is a arial of the land.

Hey, love the cabin...I also use my pond for drinking water, and have cattails. Do you like that fireplace; I almost put that one in my house! Thought it was a real good one!
