In May of 2001, we decided to build a pond.
Here are some photos of the installation:

There was an above ground pool in the back yard and after it was removed, we were left with this giant sandbox. May 18, 2001 |

Another view. That white thing is the old pool filter. |

After getting a load of topsoil, I hand tamped it until it was level. August 27, 2001 |

Nice level surface, I scraped out a design for the pond shape. |

I don't believe I didn't take any photos of the hole once it was dug out. My friend Brett E. helped me dig and it was brutal work that he considered exercise (bless his heart!) |

The hole dug, the liner was installed and rocks placed along the edge to hold it in place August 30, 2001 |

Liner with rocks. The liner is very wrinkled and had to be straighted as we filled the pond. This wasn't as hard as I expected but did mean moving the rocks around quite a bit. |
