Beautiful Spring Morning...

Was going to do some work on the pond today, but woke up to SNOW!!!

Here are some pictures.

The new lighting, power system and server is up and running.

The pondSERVER runs a full version of Linux and controls the solar system, lights, DMX lights, pumps, filters, water level, pondCAM and does continuous water testing, which can be accessible from the web and app. The new server also alerts me if there is anything wrong with the pond/systems/water. The only power the pond uses from the grid is for the server, everything else works from the solar system and batteries located behind the pond, ontop of pondCAM and inside of "Lighthouse Trent".

 Check out the LIVE pondCAM.

 

 

 

 

A hour later...

 

 

 

Another year begins...

The pond was uncovered today. Also, the outline of the patio was layed out.

Covered in a blanket of white...

 

Goodnight fish...

It's that sad time of year. Time to close the pond for the year. The lighthouse will still glow for a while, but will soon go to bed too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Lighthouse installed 9-12-12

Lighthouse came in 9-12-12 by UPS

 

The lighthouse is made out of polywood, and is a replica of Cape Henry in Virginia Beach, VA

The company that made the lighthouse is http://www.cabinfield.com/

 

 

This is the plywood I had to remove. (guess they can't spell)

 

 

Lighthouse pad

The pad for the lighthouse has been poured. The lighthouse is on its way.

 

 



New LIVE stream pondCAM

As part of the new theCOMERnetwork website, the pondCAM server got a new logo and new software. Now you can watch 24/7 the LIVE pondCAM stream. Can't access JAVA on your device, no worries right below the live stream is a still frame of the pondCAM.

Check it our at http://www.thecomernetwork.net/livepondcam/

There is a future plan for a LIVE underwater cam stream.
