As some of you will remember we are in the process of building a large Koi pond as a DIY project.
The pond itself is nearly finished - just needs to be made waterproof, but this weekend we got a lot of the pergola built pver the top, only stopping as we need some extra wood!

This was the first stage - http://www.alternativeeden.com/2012/01/big-pond-build-so-far.html
and part 2: http://www.alternativeeden.com/2012/05/big-pond-build-part-2.html
Hopefully will get the pergola finished next weekend (please let it not rain lol!!)

Nice washer.
If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.0 -
