The author built this pond single-handedly with just spade, fork, wheelbarrow and bucket in small stages over four months in 2002. He also installed the electrics including digging the cable's 7 meter by 1/2 meter deep trench from the abode to the shed to run the 24/7 home made pumped filter etc plus fitting a RCD consumer unit in the garage. Stephen says if this fails to persuade doctors he is not mentally ill then he is flummoxed to know what will. Pond's size 3.66m x 2.13m x 0.91m, 12'X7'x3' 970 gallons.
