On Mine Field Pond

[Dr Dave]

You should buy a toy boat for the pond.

 

[CaptainWacky]

And a raccoon picnic table.

 

[Dr Dave]

Indeed, one should not anger the racoons.

 

[Cassie]

Beebee would like to have a word with the raccoons.

 

[Mirah]

I bet!

This is not a boring thread at all. It is a great thread!

If there is a waterfall can it be named Mirah Waterfall?

 

[Cassie]

I am going to try to build a waterfall, and a bog filter which will also be a waterfall. Basically both waterfalls will be filters, but one will have a bog. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? NO, CASSIE. YOU WATCH TOO MANY YOUTUBES.

I will name one waterfall Mirah and one Wacky.

I still have to figure out how to keep raccoons out of it. I may have to put a net over it, or something. IDK. I should booby trap it with fireworks that go off when a raccoon is nearby. ALSO, why is both racoon and raccoon correct?

 

[whisky]

Mmmmm booby trap

 

[Loktar]

Mmmmm booby trap

With fireworks, it's a party boob.

 

[whisky]

Katy Perry!

 

[Dr Dave]

Yay for bogs!

A place that I pet sat at had a pond and bult a whole structure around it-like a fence. Now that i think about it more-it was a dome and plants grew over it too for shade. It was pretty cool and I bet I have pics! And you can never watch too many youtube videos!

 

[Cassie]

I will put a Loktar bench beside the pond.

 

[Dr Dave]

This is the way.

 

[Cassie]

Today I had a bit of luck. I was digging, I knew there was a concrete path under there somewhere, but I didn't know it widened out where it ends. I crossed my fingers that the concrete would be level. IT IS LEVEL! but it is not wide enough for the entire tank to sit on, so now I need to level the dirt with the concrete. I slid the tank to where I want it to be and checked the level, it is level from side to side, but about an inch off from front to bakc. I WONDER HOW LEVEL DOES IT REALLY NEED TO BE.

[whisky]

It only needs to be level if you want to fill it to the top

 

[CaptainWacky]

Can you put a fake floor over the pond which slides out of the way to expose the pond.

 

[Cassie]

There's no way I will ever achieve true level, but if it's too unlevel the water will be wonky. Also, I have to deal with the fact that the tank is made of some kind of plastic and it flexes. If I go to all the trouble of getting it level, and then the walls flex after being filled with water i will just have to accept it. The bottom of the tank is bowed up in the middle, so I tried the level while standing in it to hold it down.

I think an inch off level is a bit much, but I think I can get it close to level pretty easy.

 

[Cassie]

A secret pond under the floor!

 

[CaptainWacky]

And if someone is standing on it you can hit a button and the trick floor slides away and they drown.
