    more insulation + skimmer box !!

    Spent a few more hours yesterday on the filter housing this time i insulated the interior with all of my left over Celotex, managed to get all 3 internal sides done and the underside of the lid, probably around 70% coverage due to the dwell of the lid and the cross members, i stood back and thought well that's all the pipe lagging done, the filter house built and insulated so with the poly covers on as well felt quite relieved and finally content that I cannot do anything more for my 8 scaly guests but then the skimmer box caught my eye so I made a nice box out of celotex for that as well so all done nothing more I can do now for them fingers crossed they make it through their first winter in my pond...…..(pics to follow Freddy) so what's left erm heating it...…then it happened boooom "though who must be obeyed" looked at me and said no more money can be spent on the pond have to agree its been a big money pit this year....maybe heating can be a project for 2020 cheers Steve, btw still no mention of the window sill - happy days !!!

    if only I could take all the credit guys but I cannot sadly as I have said before god gave me two left hands and only simple tasks can I achieve anything else I have to pay for give me a piece of 2x2 and even if I draw a line to follow I usually end up miles off line which takes some doing when you only have 2 inches to saw, all i can say on the insualtion is thank god for the foil tape it works wonders at hiding your cutting mistakes lol..... i will go and taek some pics now, just got back from the beach bait digging man i am wacked....
