This will be more ammunition for his case of us not having a pond. Ha, think I shall go with a portible water feature instead.

It is very beautiful. UP here people just get a backhoe and did a hole and it will fill up with water. Also as you know, ponds are much bigger up here but they are for pond lilies. Don't think fish would live in the winters here.
