I love ponds! I was going to install one last year on Mother's Day, but I thought that if we move shortly why go through the work. I love the ponds you have Wolfe--I have often thought about the whiskey barrel as a pond, you have made your small ponds pack such an impact! They are beautiful--I am going to try a barrel one. Susie--I am not far from you I live off of 279N. Best of luck with your ponds everyone. I have gotten a chance to see Pattygrow5's pond--it is terrific!!!! I am working on being able to post pics also. I got to the point of uploading them on Village photo but they were all to large! Dawn

When we lived in PA we had brown vinyl coated chain link installed. This was in the late 90's. Aprox 375 feet for 3000.00. The brown looked sharp and it stood up to the weather conditions!

iris - do you mean just the glass? I think you have to get the whole frame it's in also. maybe not change out the opening framing tho. I'm sure something even from HD/Lowe's would be better than what was originally installed in the mfg home (think builder's grade in development homes). tho, yrs and yrs ago the x and I changed sliding door into a series of paneled glass windows (floor to ceiling like the patio doors) and 1 regulation door. loved that change! I may even do that eventually in my future 'new' mfg home - I noticed that the patio door frame seems ... bent. will find out after it's moved here and leveled. "A couple other simple changes that made a big impact were changing all dated door and cupboard hardware and ceiling lights." lol! I showed my sister a pic from my future home with one of those cheap glass hanging 'lamps' with shiny gold trim and I said 'that will be going' - and she said 'why?' ... duh. it'll be outa there asap! I love cheap in price... I just don't want it to look cheap. I was very happy to see that all rooms except kitchen and baths had ceiling fans and lights! that would have really added up to wire for those and put them in! I do need to figure out what to change one of those rectangular florescent lights boxes with tho... got one of those in the kitchen. It'll have to go eventually also. I have 2 here in the kitchen -but this place was always to be temporary anyway... it just stretched into 11 yrs... hard to believe I've lived like this for 11 yrs!
