So, your wife doesn't want you dig up the backyard.

Mine didn't, she was adamant every time I bought the pond subject up.
I risked divorce and did it when she was out of town for 2 weeks.
After all the ***ing, she actually loved it, and now brings people
over from work to show it off. The m***of the story is, your pond is
more important than your marriage.

My problem is my wife wants a bigger pond and more of them about three
conected with a small stream. Also she wants a pond for her doll house!
Thats right her doll house. She saw one in a catalog and loved it. She
will most likely get that first.

I'm the wife in our family, and I dug the damned pond all by myself, I
did!  My husband was ... tolerant.  He would come home at night from
work and say, "It sure is getting ... deep... how big are you going to
MAKE it?"  Now we all love it.

I had a great little pond at the old house.  At the new home, there was no
landscaping what-so-ever and i am stuck putting in just the basics... lawn,
shrubs, flower beds, etc... now my wife won't quit bugging me to hurry up
so "we" (  translation, ME  ) can get busy putting in the pond...  She also
want this one to be much larger and more involved...   some days i wish i
had never introduced her to ponding.

you may remember it, Kellie.)

My husband thought I'd lost my mind - he sat in a lawn chair drinking a
beer and laughed at me. And now, just exactly WHO is it that insists on
maintaining a natural eco-system? And WHO is it that spent lord-knows
how much money on a heater and electricity to keep 10 baby feeder
goldfish alive all winter?

What is it they say? "Build it, and they will come <around>."

I remember that you dug yours.  I didn't remember your husband's behaviour!!

My husband didn't laugh... he stood at the edge and got a worried kind of
voice and said, "How big do you plan to MAKE it?"  He was worried that our
pet rabbits would fall in and drown, so he made me make a shallow end with
ledges which I had planned to omit so that they could crawl out.  Now the
buns are in a pen so they won't eat all my plants.  They used to stand at
the edge of the pond and nibble on nice hyacinth leaves and lily pads.  When
they got penned up and I would toss them hyacinths for snacks they disdained
them.  I guess it's just not as good if its legal!

He hasn't gone that far!  He loves the pond, but all pond activities
except sitting by it are mine and mine alone!

I know Mr. Hubby man was relieved when I finished and it actually looked
good!
