Had some time last week.

Took time to shore up the walls, smooth out the rough areas, and level the bottom.

I pulled out the underlay material and my son and I lined the pond bottom in preparation for the rubber liner.

Prepped the bottom drain to make it easy to attach the liner by taping over the screw holes ahead of time. . . learned this little trick from The Pond Digger (Thanks Eric Triplett!!)

I called up my family and coaxed them over to the house to roll out the 700lb liner . . . Stay tuned for the moment of truth.
