So we broke ground this weekend for our new 125 Gallon Pond. Here are the pics:

New pond


All the bricks moved....


to Here.


The pile grows


The hole

The pond is in the 2 foot deep hole already but I haven't taken any pics yet. Right now we're packing in dirt underneath and around it. We hope to have the turts in next weekend if weather permits. We're going to start building a wall around the pond with the bricks we took out of the ground.

I'll continue to update through the next few days.
