Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p>I feel weird saying “Happy July 4” to my American friends, because I don’t think many Americans are very happy with where the country is headed. Independence Day? From what?

You have to stop what you are doing today and really think about how to force Trump and his backers to reverse course now, hopefully peacefully, but maybe not.</p><p>So Happy Independence Day to my good hearted American friends. I know you are there, from both parties.</p><p>I wish for you the strength to stand up for that Independence and Freedom for all within your borders so you can again become a beacon.

This about equals the amount spent ($1200 iirc) to rent the digger last Labour Day weekend. The liner and underlay fabric was another $3000. So we're looking at about $5500 so far for the project as a whole. Still better (including for the ecosystem!) than your average $50,000 in-ground pool install. ;=D</p><p>I realized last night that I bought the wrong pumps (DCT vs DCP argh). One of those “oh that's cheaper than I thought it would be” moments... followed by... “oh crap.”</p><p>I'll send the previous pumps back immediately upon arrival. </p><p>It's ok though, these will be two 20,000L/h variable pumps. The entire pond/pool system should be no more than 23,000L. My biggest rookie mistake with the <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/pandemicpond" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pandemicpond</span></a> in the front yard was too small a pump. I rectified that when I added the bog filters there.</p><p>So I'm overbuilding this time. I should be able to run them at low-speed/power for the same amount of flow. Which will be better for pump longevity and power over time. </p><p>Also got main piping for the system: 50ft of 2" flexible PVC (Schedule 40). This will move water from the intake bay (behind the tree) to the bog filter (in front of the tree) and connect to smaller diameter piping/valves/fittings for sprayers in the pool.</p><p>This should be the end of the big-ticket items. The rest will be a LOT of little stuff: electrical, piping, and a lot of rock. Probably another $1000-$1500 to go, all should be local, and some of it can be put off until next year if needed.</p><p>It took a few tries on the Bezos Site, but I managed to find a supplier within Canada to avoid tariffs on any of it because Tariff-flation is definitely a thing! (American .com store essentially doubled the cost!) </p><p>So ya, you can hashtag this <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tariffs</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/TariffLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TariffLife</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/TheAmericanFascist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TheAmericanFascist</span></a> and <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/TrumpTariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpTariffs</span></a></p>
