Post your ONE best Before and After...

I like your new avatar Windy Miller but you must change your signature too as it doesn't fit any more.

 

My Aliens have landed pic!! taken after initial pond build 1st April 2005!!




Work still in progress pics taken around June 2006!!



As you can see (or not!) BM just starting my Jungle Area beside the decking!!!. I'm quite proud that we managed to hide all the filter equipment for the pond under the decking, with access is via trap doors

 

What a lot of work you have put into your garden Gardenangel! I love your pool, Congrats!

 

A wonderful transformation, Gardenangel. The deck is very grand and I'm sure you enjoy it. I also like your furry friend!

 

Thanks Dixy and Lady of Leisure for your kind praise!!

That's Buster the cat, he's always with me in the garden!! He sleeps, while I dig!!!

GA ...Lovely garden ...I especially like the split path feature..... very effective
M-L

 

Thanks M-L!!

The spilt path came about for two reasons, firstly I didn't want to prune the Magnolia again :eek: and secondly in Feng Shui principles its bad luck to have a straight path and as I need all the good luck I can get, who am I to argue :D :D

 

Looks fantastic GARDENANGEL :eek:

I love the pond and the deck looks like a masterpiece too. Lots of nice trees for privacy around the deck, and begging for some bananas and tall grasses :D Do you have any koi ?

Great befores and afters thanks for sharing.

BM

 

Thanks for your kind words BM

What would a pond be without Kois :eek:

Here are some of my Koi family, love them to bits!!!


Working on adding some bananas, never fear!!!!

GA

 

Beautiful GARDENANGEL

I had a red cap but I keep them indoors. Your pond is THE BUSINESS !!!!!!!

My rather more mongrel specimens..






BM

 

I wouldn't swap my mirrors or rudd for any koi.

 

Nice, fisheymen, BM .. do they all have names?

Gardenangel, we'd like to have fish but I'm afraid they'd be fried! :(

 

I dont know Rich, why not give one a try

BM I've always thought that keeping them in a tank is more of a challenge, as you've really got to keep on top of the water quality!! Anyway beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so all fish are beautiful

Lady of Leisure, I don't really name them, but the kids do, so I go along with whatever names they have been given :D

 

I don't think garish fish would look right in my pond. Not that anybody would be able to see them anyway at the moment.

 

Garish :rolleyes: I think that's a matter of your opinion, as I have said previously, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I would not dream of calling a rudd a boring fish, as I dont know anything about them, seems I will have to do some research and come back to you with an informed opinion
