    Cement believe it or not is a less expensive option. The liner is like 300 bucks plus the underpayment. I tried to be cheap and buy a liner for 59 bucks on Amazon. "Do it right the first time" comes to mind. I wanted to do that the first time around.

    got it fixed. The pond that is. I tore it apart and found all the issues plural fixed them all and wallah! Now I think I'm good. The Nem got stuck in the fuge drain caught it in time to get him out. Still doing well after I had to cut him out of the drain screen. I don't think I'll ever understand that animal.

    No, turns out there was a hole in the liner and in another area water flowing behind the liner.

    Damn Rolo sorry man. Never heard of that happening but I also kind of like the cement idea. I contemplated doing mine with cement when I re-lined it last summer.

    That is a crazy ### video.

    Edit .. missed your last post. Ya those liners are very expensive but hold up very well. Only reason I relined mine was I made it a little larger.

    That really looks awesome.
