Garden Pond - Summer Project #2

Meanwhile while Andy was busy building wardrobe interiors, I started on my project of turning our old turquoise bath tub into a pond! After deciding on the position of the bath, it was a little hard work digging the hole. Soon enough though the bath slotted into the said spot.

Discussions took place as to how the solar pump was going to work with Andy desperately wanting to re use the bath spout and tap too! We solved this by choosing and cutting various railway sleepers utilising an existing bolt hole to attach the spout. Must say it worked beautifully! Andy then capped the drain pipe and rigged up the solar pump. I added a few river pebbles and more sleepers around the edge and then it was time to add water!

Of course the girls couldn't resist getting a little wet after all if was a bathtub!

 

We gave the pond a few days while we dreamt of water plants and fish and went back to work......
