wow Nicole, i've never actually heard of anyone bringing their pond with them when they move! that's pretty impressive! hope everyone gets settle in soon, poor wondering Oscar... lol.

and Kelly, we used to have two (i think they were ruby throated humming birds, does such a thing exist?) that would come between 6-7 every night during the summer at my moms, they were totally fearless and sooo pretty!

It really is not as difficult as you think considerindg it is a 1500 gallon premade hard plastic pool on the bottom one, and the top one is not as deep as it appears. The part that bites is moving of all the rock I have stacked around it as the wall to hide the big blue pond. It was kind of a shock that they did not want it as she seemed to love it so much and he said it looked like too much maintenence. However I would not leave my koi that I have raised since babies and now they are over 13 inches long. what a pain though. It is worth it as this house is definately in need of some landscaping as I had to mow the four feet of grass down to even move in, ughhhh......So depressing! I am not used to this at all, I miss my Garden of Eden......poor poor me, okay I am done feeling sorry for myself, lol

Cool Picture D. Is that just an alcove or is it the start of some sort of tunnel?

Nicole just think though now you can do it all over again and make any changes you thought of after you did it the first time!

yeah that sounds like a great idea I was thinking about adding another pool to it the same size as the 1500 gallon and adding another waterfall, who knows it sounds great but my poor back might not agree. You see my hubby does a lot for me but standing in water with fish and sludge all around your feet and legs is something that he wont do, the fish nip his legs and he freaks out ( screams like a girl, quite amusing) it is a lot of work getting the rocks in and around the pond, its really like a puzzle that takes forever to build.
