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

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!

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
