| For Ise's(Kris's)
birthday I was assisted by our good friends Dave, Lynn, Andy, and Shawn in making a
Koi Pond as a surprise for Kris as she returned from a shopping trip to Chicago. It
took us 2 days to complete the pond but most of the work was done in day 1. Dave
Mallory's expertise in this field was invaluable. All the plants and the 1st 3 fish were
donated by Lynn. The pond has since had 25 more Koi added to it as another present
to Kris from me. Below are some photos of the pond. I will add some of the
construction photos after I get them scanned. If you are thinking about making a Koi
pond I highly recommend it. The fish are alot of fun to feed and the sound of the
waterfall and the beautiful plants are very relaxing and require little upkeep for the
amount of enjoyment you get from it. Dave Mallory who is a freind of ours has his own bussiness now called XTRAHAND. He does water garden maintence, repair, and installation. If you want a new pond installed or need help with your current pond I dont think you can find anyone who does a better job or has more reasonable prices. He can be reached at xtrahand@worldnet.att.net |
