Certainly will, big day tomorrow with the mini-digger and a couple of work colleagues coming to help (One drive the digger and one to help me do the labouring, I know I will ache by the end of the weekend !!
Yesterday was a long day, my Fitbit recorded 24,898 steps - though one of them was on my arse in the pond, god that was slippery in my crocks

Looks like you are making steady progress though. It's amazing how many fish you find when you drain your pond

Thank you @Frimley and @ Mike
I had a busy day on it on my own today, mainly manual labour, I moved/wheelbarrowed circa 5 tonne of soil thats was placed on some boards, into the end garden where we have decided to create a play area for our grandson... I needed it out of the way too to get material into the 'hole'
I have been lucky to have a good solid base to work from, I got my levels sorted and due to a small miscalculation in type-1 I blinded some ballast over some low spots, only took one bulk bag and did the job well...

I then managed to get the second bulk bag of typye-1 granite barrowed in and roughly levelled, quick tidy up and done on the thge new pond for the day, as I had tests to do on the temp pool to see how it has settled down...
I put the bottom drains only circa 10mm lower than the corners, so not the greatest of falls but a little bit... (excuse wonky photo,
hard to do on own hahaha
Anyway, levelled up to a fashion and ready to hopefully weld the pipes tomorrow...
As you can see I have planned (hope) to install the bio and drum off centre to the left, so electrics and air in the middle and skimmer and Nexus to the right Well that is my current thoughts.
Well that was it for today, with a Fitbit step count of 31,147 steps and I am ker-nackered , and arms feel 6" longer!!

Well it has been a tad manic at work as usual, but I am trying to set myself a couple of hours each evening doing a bit of something on the pond.... so tonight I managed to get in the garden for 5:30 which was good, I had been out most of the day and real pleased when I got in to see the delivery of pipework at last...
Soooooo I decided to try and set out the bottom drain pipework
I started with the end uprights that will feed to the Draco Drum.
