We found the pot lifter (http://www.leevalley.com/en/garden/p...2,2180&p=63382) to be a useful tool to gather/place rocks. With two people you can move fairly large rocks, and it even helps move rocks by yourself. Btw, a pleasant bonus to find pond chat on a reef site.

The pond is now back online! Granted it doesn't really look any different than before

Nice Kien! I love the pic of the koi just about to take in a mouthful of food. Was that covered structure there behind the deck before? Looks like it's a completely waterproof roof. When did you build that? Nice pictures.

Thanks! That's my gazebo that I built last fall. Yes the roof is waterproof, covered with semi-transparent polycarbonate panels. I still need to finish painting it. Plus I intend to cover some of the windows with plexiglass and some with bug screen/mosquito netting.

That looks great! That will be a nice little chill area for the summer for sure!

Yup that's the plan :-). I found that we couldn't sit back there for a long period of time because we would just get roasted by the sun! You've seen my back yard, it's pretty exposed there. Or at least it was :-)

Hello Kein, I really enjoy reading this thread. Thanks for sharing and I m a koi man lol. I do own a koi pond too and I ve been looking for a Japanese pagoda ( not Chinese) similar to the pic here. Does anyone know where about I can purchase it, I don't mind making a trip to Calgary or Vancouver.
