Yeah this is the idea, but this window is 4'x2' and we are having 6'x2' and 3'2"x2'

Those aren't mine, that's the image off the eBay listing that we we bought the windows from :-) Some of mine are that size though, maybe bigger, but I wouldn't sell them as they are pets! Some of them I've had for 15 years :-)

Yeah, will sort the pics tomorrow. Flattened the whole garden with the digger and backfilled the majority of the pond this evening, as well as doing a bit more pipework. Not much more to do now though until until the windows arrive early next week if they are on time!

Time for the most recent update :-)

Filter housing area dug down to the right level

An hour with the digger got the stump out of the ground

Small accident with the digger while getting out the huge tree trunk and I knocked out 5 blocks, whoops!

Another pile of earth that won't fit in the skip lol Got a third one coming today.

Return pipework started for the main return pump.

Backfilling done, garden levelled and another skip being filled! Also started burning some of the decking as we don't have enough space to store it all for the winter!

Yet another skip, but this will be the last one!

Burning the old decking to tidy up the garden

Got a bit carried away with the bonfire at 1am

I'd be worried about the kids harpooning themselves on those bits of metal

Awesome progress through!

Slow progress on the pond now as we are still waiting for the windows but the pipework is almost done, the hollow blocks filled with concrete and we are laying the base to the filter housing area tonight ready to put in the pumps and other filters :-)
