Hasn't been used in awhile. Probably 8-10 if I went out and tried.
@Mike that is impressive! I can appreciate the planning, digging, and executing that took place. Great vision and implementation!

A few pictures from my weekend project here. Bad grade on the driveway leads to flooded garage. Well not anymore. Finished up my project this morning. Went a little cheap on the drains and didn’t go with concrete. Turned out nice though. 3 tons of river rock for the basins, 5 inch schedule 40 outlets for the pipe, teed together to drain out over my hillside 65ft. Haven’t had a true test yet but I’m thinking tomorrow we will see how well they work!

Cut a dead poplar down Friday night. Turned it into boards Yesterday and put a hog pen together with it today. Fun project. Get the pigs Friday.

Good Shit all around.
What are you planning on putting in your pond @Mike ?

Dang. Makes my "projects" seem miniscule. I'm proud of hanging a few lights. You freaking trumped us all. "Made a hog pen. . . Out of a poplar I cut down and milled into lumber myself." I'm not worthy! 
Common goldfish, but Tilapia that I could harvest in the fall would be cool too. The grow fast.
We have shebunkins (sp) in ours. They are colored similar to koi but not nearly as expensive. They have survived been in there for around 10 years so far. We started with 6 and had 9 the last time I counted last summer. We also added half dozen tadpoles. The frogs come and go. Usually spot them here and there.
When choosing plants and such be very careful what you go with. One of our biggest mistakes was planting aquatic mint. It is very aggressive and it takes a lot of work to keep it under control. Once it is established it is nearly impossible to get rid of. Trust me I would.
A couple good Lilly pads will help control algae.

This thread is one of my favorites on the site. Lots of talented guys on this site including you Phil! Lots of folks to learn a thing or two from around here for sure!Dang.

It will be the 1st time doing a project for myself vs others for 16years so I'm very excited but my stomach is turning at the same time.
Currently getting quotes on stripping and re-staining our log home. The previous owner fugged us and didn't use the correct stain on the house and all of it has to come off. Sticker shock is an understatement.
