Not the same customer.....
Went to clean a pond. Customer had bought the house and they thought the pond was cleaned properly, but the had a huge algae problem. I suggested barley grass for them, which keeps algae at bay. Started pumping out the water when all of a sudden the pumps start to whine like they were dry. They are still under a good foot of water: bent down and it was plugged up with something. turns out previous owner put barley grass bags in and they had disintigrated over the years. It was just covering the bottom like sludge.
Tried catching fish with the net but all I would get was water. Took a shovel and starting cleaning out the sludge which looked like @#$%. Poor customer is now left with a big ol' pile in their backyard, hoping the neighbours don't get the wrong idea.
