Pond Start Video 1

Yes lots of progress! Are you foaming the rocks to the sides of your spills?

 

[j.w]

I was wondering that also but maybe he doesn't care if some flows over the side as long as most of it goes forward over the flat rocks.

That is correct. The plan is to have some spilling over the sides, I want it to do that. This is why the trench is dug all the way around, so that any water going over the sides will just run down into the sump.

I did that w/ my waterfall just in case any water decided to go it's own way. Liner all around underneath it and liner edges curved upwards like a bowl so any water flows right back into pond. No leaks but better safe than sorry

Okay! here it is. First Water Test Today!!!!

So it is what we expected, we still have work to do, sealing areas up to get more water to stay in rather than out the sides. I knew this to be expected, but here it is, first water flow!.

I am working on a tiny water spill that looks like it is coming from under ground and into my pond. I am going to experiment this winter with different spouts. On youtube someone heated the pvc pipe end and flattened it out. I am thinking the initial splash will be my issues as well.

That is neat, great rock stacking

 

[j.w]

Yep you have it coming really nice over the first rocks and w/ a little sealing on the sides it will look great!

 

[dklowery]

Okay so some fine tuning, I think what we may end up doing id placing a "lip" on the edge with waterfall foam to seal it up, it will be good.

 

[Lisaebetten]

Yes I looks great! That is all-fully nice of you do give you neighbors something nice to look at and hear!!!

 

[dklowery]

Okay so fine tuning is done now and it's good flow all the way down

Time to finish this project off. Just a little more to go.

 

[j.w]

You done good!

 

[addy1]

Wow that looks great!

Okay so now this is really taking shape. I am thinking that one last video of the final project and this one will be a wrap. Whew, this was a MAJOR project. Sorry about the low video quality, it's the lifeproof case, I will take it off for the final show.
