| Welcome to POND ala' BUTCHER |
| We hope you will enjoy our pond as much as we have this summer. |

| Our pond was dug the end of May of 2001. It measures 9' x 12' and 36" deep in the middle with a 1' plant shelf all the way around except for under the waterfall. The waterfall has 3 levels flowing into the pond with an incredibly soothing sound!!! It took my husband and dad about 5 hours total to dig. I would have helped dig ...HA HA!! They would have sent me to Menards... I think):). We put in a .45mil liner with carpet pad underneath... great insulator and cheap!!! We had the pond filled and lined with flagstone with waterfall flowing by the next weekend.:) The pond itself was not as difficult to construct as the waterfall. That thing took some time...but it was well worth it!! |
