Well, I wole up bright and early and set out to drain my pond and replace the damaged pond liner with a spare one I got from kev. Well, got the pond drained...the fish removed and the old pond liner out............and it is 14 inches longer than what I have to replace it. :cry:

That really sucks. I'm debating going to home depot and buying one today or filling it in and making a nice raised herb garden outta it. :evil:
I could probably shorten the pond since it is above ground but the treated lumber owuld probablt be as expensive as a pond liner.

Damn the luck of the non-Irish! :?

yeah its about 15 ft sq. I need about 16ft or so on the length but only 6 ft on the width...........doh.

I'll call lowes and home depot when they open for prices.

Got the pond re-lined and the pump going... Now I need a crate of slate rock to go around the edge and finish the waterfall right.

Good lord yes... I am not sure what is in the grow out pond at my mother in-laws but you are welcome to anything out of my pond that you want and what ever is over there too.
