Hey guys,

Not ignoring this site, but, the pond is complete now as of lastnight. Essentially, I had a case of dumb@ss and didn't seal it once the texture coat cured. I used the same method Capo taught me to get irregular looking rock look. It turned out fantastic!

Soooo I filled it half full and turned the new 1200 GPH pump on. Nice! Then 3 hours later, We come home and the pond has already lost 2 inches of water. WTF? I could see the saturation going up the unsealed walls and obviously it was taking place from all surfaces as well. After emptying and drying, I put 2 gallons of UGL sealer (tinted grey)on the beast lastnight. This morning, it looks great. I will go back over it (weather permitting) tonight for any blowholes that may not have coverage. Pics this weekend! Dimensions are: 15 ft X 3 1/2 ft wide X 3 ft deep.
