I have a 15x17 foot lento building off 1 end of my 24x24 foot cabin I live in most the time, when I'm not spending time with hubby. I came up with the Idea of making a enclosed fish shelter just B-4 we went on vac in fla, this past may, & it's a good thing I did cause by the time I got back what fish I had all died for some reason. So being I done spent 2.000 $ on the shelter in the 1st place I thought this would be a good restart for the shelter. But instead of what the shelter was SUPPOSE to be built like, we changed it to a leanto type building, I found online what I wanted to show hubby what I wanted & that's what we've been working on. It's taking shape where it's starting to look just as I had planned, we have all the framing up & now all we have to do is get it all closed in to put the windows & door in & the walls & roof up & that will be it, what am I going to do with the floor ? Well that will be all gravel " 2 feet deep" that way if for some reason at anytime the pond floods it won't flood the shelter. Photos are coming soon, stay in touch.

It will be once it's all done & set up for the pond to get set up in it, I'll have me a nice little sitting area & it'll be nice & cool just to hang out in after dark cause I'll have some cool night lights in there & my jams going watching the fish swim around.

That sounds like a real project, sorry to hear about the fish but glad you're giving it a fresh start. The gravel floor idea sounds smart, better safe than flooded again. Cant wait to see the photos once its all closed in.
