Well thought I may start a log here things have started on the garden first thing is to install the patio. The place i wanted the pond it was not permitted due to a soak away and building regulations means I cant put a pond over it so will be moving the shed in pictures and it can go across there means more space and bigger pond as well
Here is work so far all be it no pond in these pictures work has started
Ordered some more hardcore to finish the base off next update will be pond related so may be a few weeks till next update

I'm currently thinking something along these lines that I see done and it's not to small and not overly big and would go in nicely in the space I have thinking size wize 8ft wide by 20ft long x 6ft deep
Filtration i been chatting to joe about it got as far as having a bottom drain and surface drain that's about it so far. Been concentrating on the patio.
