Yes we have lots of limestone here in southern Indiana but none up here at my pond site. thank goodness.

I'm gonna add the end boards today and a few deck boards. 40 mph wind gusts here today...sorta like a coastal town around here! well, except, no coast! wind is out of the south too, bringing some nice warmth with it. So it won't be so bad when I get my feet wet.

thanks everyone for the advice. Lynnie
