Lessons learned
Lessons:
1. Skimmers are important when you live next to a forest.
2. Liners that are glued together might leak. Brian has been fighting leaks on this one. We'll order a single liner when we do ours. We're also going to try to avoid having any holes in the liner for pipes or drains.
3. It's worth having a bottom drain, or at least a low spot where a pump can sit.
4. Salamanders love ponds. There are dozens in this pond and they often get stuck in the pump or skimmer.
5. It is difficult to modify a pond or remove the liner when rocks are mortared in along the edge. We'll try to make our next pond more serviceable.
