Guys. I have a very large pond. 😱 😁 💧 #pandemicpool #backyardpond #gardening #diy
The barrier between the pool and the intake bay is now 99% covered. Which makes the entire surface area look much larger.

It's official. The pool is full and overflowing in only the right place. #pandemicpool #backyardpond #gardening #diy
along view of the pool. Shows a new trench on the near corner. It has a few river rocks in it to keep the level down. This is the outlet overflow for the pool. The rest of the edges are set.

as the intake bay and the main pool come to a common level, the barrier between is being just barely over topped as desired. 👍

A picture of the backyard shows the large pool on the right and a small chicken coop painted red on the left with a fenced in run behind it. Just in front of the Coupe along the ground is a small trench freshly dug.

this will be the most water the system will ever hold since the next job after adjusting the levels this first time will be to bring in literal tons of rock, pebble and sand to fill the intake bay, the bog filter and line the pool.

as the main pool fills in the background the intake bay waits, mostly full. It is a beautiful cool crisp sunny day Water reaches around one corner of the pool. The house is reflected in the water Water flows down into the main pool from the bog filter pool. There are many folds of extra rubber liner that will need to be dealt with One end of the pool spreads out into shallows
