Don’t let disaster and failure deter you from building your own pond. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day!   Eric shares his insight on:  Ron’s inspiration for getting into the pond world Discovering the pond building DIYers on YouTube Setting the stage for what DIY really means Digging the pond to the correct depth for Koi How Ron and Eric came to meet each other Not knowing where to put the UV lamp in the pond Making a disastrous homemade sieve filter Running two bottom drains with a stiff pipe Using a large Rubbermaid trash can as a settlement tank The tricky thing about leaking Deciding to start over and build a pond the right way How Ron’s family has coped during the long building process What has changed as life has continued moving forward Things that originally came from that DIY mentality Advice from Ron about doing too much DIY    Links to resources: Rubbermaid Home Depot YouTube Find Ron on Instagram!
