What I did last summer(s) - never again

Not yet, unless you count by neighbor boy's goldlfish, which is maybe 6 inches long now. Never thought it would survive, since I've drained the pond to within a foot or two deep twice. I plan to put some bluegill and bass in it next spring.

Well, you're probably going to instigate a bunch of similar projects. This forum is good to a number of things, but the main 2 useful to me are: (1) learning the correct way to do something, or at least the many ways that others have successfully accomplished it (e.g., my post asking how best to prepare and gravel a driveway), and (2) being blown away by stuff folks have done on their compact tractors that I hadn't even thought were possible (at least not possible to do well). Darn fine pond - new idea for me - now to ascertain what the boss (my wife) thinks about it.

You've got that right. I already have on the to-do list:
- FEL hooks
- FEL tooth bar
- Pallet forks
- Compost screen
- Leaf vacuum
- Take a welding class and accumulate the stuff necessary to do the above /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

A pond project isn't a weekend job but if you've got the time and are not in a hurry, it's a pretty neat one. The not fun part of mine was transporting and dumping the fill using just a 1/2 truck and loadhandler.
