Story filed: Making a pond

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I am going to talk about making things. This weekend, mum and I did what we've been meaning to do for a while. So, here's the picture: we removed the old bath tub (we had to hire someone to do it as we were exhausted) and then we got the bath tub outside. We had to cut some rusted pipes so that it slowed us down as we had to borrow a grinder. We also plugged the drain. So then we found a spot to dig a bath tub sized hole because we were going to make a pond out of it. so we dug a hole and we kept digging until it fitted. when it did - Bob's your Uncle. Afterwards, we decorated the surrounds with rocks and garden ornaments etc. Now we have a mini pond in the backyard. I hope it attracts a lot of birds and insects and frogs.
