Sifting
and Leveling
I know I needed to level the sides of the pond all the
way around the top. If the top isn't level then you will have line showing all around the
low sides of the pond. This is a non-negotiable area. The top of the pond must be level.
The screened stud frame in the top left of the picture
was something I put together to sift the rock out of the soil. I am about half way through
sifting in this picture and now I know why this dirt was so heavy coming out of the hole. |

There
are Rocks ....
These are some of the rocks that didn't needed to be
sifted out of the dirt. They will eventually be used as a retaining wall around the back
of the small water fall I will attempt adding to the pond after the pond is complete.
I wonder are these rocks or is it possible ROCKZILLA is
not a he but a she.. "EGGS", ya think, nah! |

...
Then there are Rocks
All sifted! This 12 foot long 2 foot wide 10" pile
are the stones that were sifted from all the surrounding soil. I am open to any ideas that
anyone has as to what to do with these "ZILLA" droppings. |

Got
enough Rocks ... NOT!
Now you would think with all the rocks, stones and the
nature of New England that there would not be a shortage of rocks. Well the edging I have
in mind need more! Even though I knew I had to "BUYING ROCKS" in New England
seemed like something I didn't want to tell anyone about. Well here you see what 2600
pound of small blue garden tumblers look like. We will get to know each of these guys
personally. |
