Habitat - Outdoor :: New project!

[happycamper]

Decided to finally get the pond IN the ground! We are going to have a border of mini fencing around it when Sheldon is hanging out in there he can get out and explore a little... can't wait till the suns out so I can catch some rays with my turtle!

nice i wish i could put mine in the ground but i can dig about a inch or 2 before its nothing but rock

[happycamper]

I went through a riverbed which was about 5 inches thick of compacted rock, and then very very large roots. All while my fiance drank beer and watched...Thanks! LOL

Sounds fun! I wish I could get a pond in my backyard.

Post pictures when you get it totally finished! I would love to see them!

[vic021]

lol how did you get throught the rock....i live in a lil area outside san antonio texas called stone oak yea its like on a moutain and the lil area was just blown out of a mountain to make it

[happycamper]

It was just really compacted medium sized rocks... so I just kept hackin away! Doesn't sound quite as intense as your rock situation would be Vic!

lol... I was a sweaty girl by the end of the ordeal!

I will definitely post pics when I'm done

[vic021]

lol yea mine is harder it was me and about 5 family members yea we dug for about 2 hours and got 3 inches so we said screw it and quite lol

[happycamper]

I would have given up too!!

might try renting a jack hammer or something to break through it. My family lives in SA too, so I know what you mean about how bad the rock is.

[vic021]

yea we were thinking about renting a jack hammer....there's people in my neighborhood that have under ground pools....they had to get people to blow up the rock while they built there house.....smurf i live by fiesta Texas so if you've been there you know how rocky that area is

[untsmurf]

ugh yeah! That's really close to where my grandma lives. My parents also bought land in boerne in order to build house, but it's going to cost a crap ton to blast out enough rock to do it.
