Fish pond success!

The most recent mortar job I did on the fish pond (when I found the dead rat!) was a resounding success!!! For the first time since we bought our house almost 5 years ago, our fish pond fills all the way - to where it's supposed to - and drains out the intended drainage hole. It's so awesome! I can't believe my mortar job actually worked. There are still a couple smallish leaks, but it's working really well.

Now we're going to tackle the landscaping and the concrete back there. And Loren is going to look into building a reservoir system so we can tap into some of the spring water and use it for our yard. One step at a time...
