I have not read the "saga" of Brettski for quite a while. Didn't you use PVC pipe for the principal spillway? Have you had any freeze problems?

I also seem to recollect you did an elaborate system to protect your drain inlet. Did you make an "extra" hole in your beautiful dam for the drain pipe? In this thread for Jeff, I was talking about a system so your drain pipe doesn't go through your dam.

P.S. I tried "Brettski drain system" in the forum search function. It returned 8 pages of your comments, but I couldn't find the big thread about your pond project that contained links to all of your sub-threads. Where do I find your main post to re-read before I start my pond project?
