Great – thanks!! Here in SW France we’ve been lunching outside for the last week – 23°!!!
-23c in southern France? That’s insane.
@@offgridcurtisstoneMy bad – it was a dash – it has been 23°C and hot and sunny – *not* minus 23!
Nice! Starting to look really good my man!
Slick way to monitor levels
Awesome looking pond…
Curtis, Water Stewardship / MOF / MOFLNRO could be all over you for this, just a heads up, if you get the wrong bureaucrat looking at you…
.. I’m sure you’re aware, though…?
Cheers man, (to quote Red/Green Show) I’m pulling for ya, man, we’re all in this together…
Also, ground is 100% saturated… which is why your pond is full / isn’t draining.
What is down stream from you?
Hey Curtis! Definitely exiting to mess with hydrology in a good way! I’m on the same page as you there! I have a thought about your leaky pond, if you have leaks at an elevation that is in the frost line, they would not leak in the winter where water has frozen and ‘temporarily’ sealed the leak. That being said we will know for sure after spring thaw if the pond holds or not when the frost is out.
I also noticed the trees in the bank of your pond, would those roots be in a place that would allow water to seep through the ground? I have a very slow leak in my upper pond due to trees I didn’t dig out when I should have. But it’s ok because these slow leaks do an amazing job of filtering the water into the lower pond.
The Ponicles continue.
I shouldn’t it still be filling up? The bottom may be sealed, but could it be leaking out the sides?
You will be teaching your kids to canoe this summer
Good to see you brother!!! Awesome setup!
Hopefully it will hold water!
