Anyone want a pond?

Penchuck, Here is why you do not want a pond in the backyard.

Pump blows out and you have to get a new one which costs $225 but none of the new ones fit the 2" pipe that is already installed 10 inches underground so you have to go buy a new one of those and dig up all your plants to put it in the ground. Nor do they come with a case around them that keeps all the gunk from killing your new $225 pump so you have to buy something for $100 or rig something up for $10 which you will probably have to replace every six months. While you are trying to get your mind around all of that your wife calls to tell you there is a giant snake swimming in the pond.

I should just fill it in.

Just think about how great it will be to have the sound of a gentle waterfall when you're doing a double feeding out on the porch at 3:30 in the morning...
