It was then that the discharge hose blew off of the outlet and the partly submerged pump sent a column of clay sludge upwards and in my general direction ........


Pro tip - a Jubilee clip around that hose on the outlet will prevent the same thing happening again.  Roll Eyes

you should wait for the summer to do ponds, instead of the middle of winter

Oh wait a minute it is the middle of summer

There was a jubilee clip around the hose ....

Just a little more back pressure than it could contain.

For some reason I always thought you backed onto the canal - but looking at the piccies someone has either built some houses on it or I am mistaken again Smiley

Apparently so.

Of course there is another explanation - the heavy rain is washing the houses away down the canal.

For those who haven't been paying attention  Spank

The pond is in the garden of Julies house and I will be moving there as soon as I've titivated and sold my house.

Now back to the plot ....

I've just had a week off with Julie and we've moved my cats down to her house, there are 5 there now, and we've been working on the pond.

It's had about 1200 litres of rainwater from the butts but still needs a bit more, pump and filter are in and working, and I've still to build a small deck at one side. But in a couple of weeks we'll be able to stock it.
