My Valentine's Day present!!!!

Cape May Court House, NJ(Zone 7a)

Well DH brought the bulldozer home today while I was at work and started digging the BIG new pond!!!!! There is a monster size hole in my back yard right now. I already have 2 preformed ponds that are 125 gallons each but this one is a liner!!!! I am letting him design it because It would take me too long to make up my mind how to do it!!!! It is going to be about 1000 gallons with at least 2 waterfalls (i think kidney shaped)!!!!!! He got me a big giant skimmer and a bio-filter too! Oh yea he also got me a pallet of red flat stone for around the pond! The only thing he has to get is a filter (a BIG one)!!!
The thing that scares me is while I was at work he took all my plants and little creatures that were in my other pond and moved them into big buckets until we can finish! We should have it done by the weekend. I sure hope everbody (fish and frogs) survive for a couple days until they get into their new home!!!!!! I will make sure I get some pic's so I can show you are progross!!!!!!

Sue, what a fabulous Valentine's Day present!!!! That's wonderful! (The frogs should be fine; the fish, well just keep them in a protected spot out of the sun and keep an eye on 'em.) Please post pictures of your pond in progress! Happy V-day :)
