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.
