Working-with-your-hands Wednesday
Me? If I wanted a koi pond, I'd just go out and buy a pre-fab unit. But I suppose this is more economical.
Mixing cement or whatever for the outside is so yesterday. Now, it's Flex Seal.
That too many fish for such a small area. The raccoons will take care of that because he didn't make the edge raccoon proof. He also, didn't give them shade.
Not that an easy build ... ... and not so economical, considering the prices for the materials. But certainly a display of skill and artistry.
ReplyDeleteI found the guy wearing what looked to be a military uniform (Vietnamese?) to be ... interesting.
What are koi going for these days?
ReplyDeleteOver here such plastic crates were for milk deliveries, and often stolen to keep our record lps in, in the 70s.
ReplyDeleteSame here, Bruce. The older cartons with logos on them are practically collector items.
ReplyDeleteBruce: That's exactly what I used them for. Still have half a dozen or so with old LPs upstairs somewhere.
ReplyDeleteEr, I may have picked some up in back of the grocery store, but I thought they were garbage.
"back of the grocery store" haha, that was the way. "Oh I thought you were throwing these out...my mistake".
