More pictures of the construction: Here you will notice the pit being dug, along with my tiny quarantine pond that I built a couple of years, that will have to house the fish for a few days!

I also moved all my Bakki media to my small pond to help in biological process

More pictures of my adventures:

Images of my home made Bakki---rather a poor interpretation, but I needed to do the best I could for the Quarantine environment. There is also a picture of the bottom drain patch being dug out. The last picture, is the pond with bottom drain installed along with all the backer boards. We are almost ready for Poly application

Jeff and his team showed up on Saturday ready to work!! The spent a day covering their area to avoid overspray, and applying epoxy to smooth out the surface between the cement boards.

That was interesting how the cement boards were attached to line your block pond. Just curious as to what kind of fasteners were used to attach the boards to the block. Nice job! Any new photos?
