trystinnAlicia very kindly came by today and did a tremendous job pounding supporters in for the fencing, so between the two of us (though she did the vast majority of the hard work) we got the fencing up. Me, I just shout out orders and keep everyone moving. Josh worked for about five hours straight digging the hole by hand and rototiller, finishing earlier than expected. Which means, we're really ahead of schedule now! Speaking of which: the ducklings are out in their Night Hutch at the moment, getting accustomed to their ducky townhouse. Josh will set up the heat lamp for the evening, as it's supposed to get down to 37F tonight. Poor duckies!
The pond is fully installed with filter/pump & underwater lights. I still need to gather additional rocks to create a thicker border around the pond liner and see if I can find some bushes and assorted native plants to fill out the space. We'll need to do a bit more work to finish tucking away all the assorted electrical lines, but otherwise we should be good to go.
As for having the pond located directly next to Bunhalla, you ask? Martha was singularly unimpressed: I cannot begin to tell you how many rabbit raspberries we received. Foxglove came over to inspect everything, what a bossy little bunny! Thistle, our pirate bunny, rolled over on his back and sunbathed while ignoring us completely.
