LOL!! And that's how it all starts... hope you have a REALLY big shower curtain for the larger pond you're going to want to build soon (the one that will handle hubby's pump!)

Very pretty pond-- certainly doesn't LOOK redneck to me. :-)

I don't care what anybody says, unless you have more money than sense, you make what you have work; redneck or not!!

I know I've used things that they said wouldn't work, would kill my fish, kill my plants, make my water green or make the liner leak. Well, 20 years later, they are all still working. Some of these redneck items are newer than others cause I've updated a few things along the way. Welcome to the world of redneck ponders.

I am laughing my rear-end off not only because the initial post was so funny and well-written, but I had a similar experience today....

I was rounding out the edges of a geometrically shaped garden (I like curves) and I looked at a nice round corner spot and said to my 4-year-old, "Hey, you want some fishies?" So I plopped an old wahtub in the ground and planned to just go with goldfish, snails, and some water plants but thought about it and the pond is too deep for my toddler who could fall in... planned to fill it halfway with sand tomorrow... but I am INSPIRED! I need a new shower curtain liner as well! And we could have a wider, shallower pond that way!

(I don't need a fancy pond for the fish that my kids will get tired of within a week anyway.)

Lioness, you are the MacGuyver of pond making. I tip my hat to you.

*Big grins!*

LOL! Way to go Lionessrose! It looks great too!
I agree with scorpiohorizon......you are the MacGuyver of pond making! :)

I can't stop laughing!
You guys are too funny.
Unfortunately, I have way more sense than I do money,
heck, I'm too poor to pay attention most of the time :o)
I plan on updating too:
I was gonna replace the nice bright orange truck hose with an old piece of green garden hose,
I could buy a water lily or 2 instead of chucking in the cut rose blooms of the day,
lilies might last a bit longer too :o)
Those rose blooms just don't last very long at all, very disappointing.
Thought I might use a piece of wire to tie the screen to the coffee filter,
I did use my good hair tie and I kinda want it back
Think I'll leave the pump alone though,
the neighbors don't seem to mind me water their yard.
Thought about gettin' a few fish but figured my gardening buddy would just eat them:

I swear she has to taste test everything!
You should see her on fish emulsion spray day,
I have to lock her up,
she follows me around licking the spray off of everything I just sprayed.
Scorpio:I highly recommend the shower curtain liner, best dern idea I had
let me tell you I dropped many a rock arranging and rearranging and that old curtain held up great.
wonder if it has anything to do with the layers of hard water built up on it?, hummmm....
if you use soft water it might not hold up as well
Well, I had better sign off and go retrieve my hair tie.
Hope to hear more funny stories.
Lioness...
or should I say PondGuyver :o)

Yep...I'm a redneck and proud of it.
Why buy something if you can reuse...recycle!

No pump or filter.

WOW!
I love it!
Cool ponds and statues...
and lilies...
Nice job!
Theres not an old truck buried under them tree limbs over yonder is there ?? :o)
Tee Hee
Recycle, Reduce, Reuse!
Amen :o)
Lioness

That pile of limbs contains lots of cottontail rabbits who have been eating anything that can't get up and walk off. I wish I had a chipper to so I could recycle that.

I guess the Redneck ancestors are the ones haunting me about my projects. I thought it was the Hillbillys. I love it that you can do those things without needing a bunch of experts and a kit of some kind. Sandy
