Don't need any advice, just want to rant...
I've been working hard on building my upper pond/bog/waterfall. It's completely above ground, 3" shy of 3 feet tall, and 8 feet long by 4 feet wide. Butts up against the existing pond.
Anyway, I was so careful during the build, checking, checking, and rechecking things were level.
Yet somehow, now that the frame is all done, it's not level.
So. I have to shim up one corner an inch. Then, the board that the waterfall is going into has to have a big notch cut out of it for the large flat stone I've got for the fall. The notch has to be 3/4" deeper on one side, to make it level.
Of course I figured all this out AFTER I've already sledged everything together with these 8" long twisty nails, and I'm simply not strong enough to pry the board that needs notching back off without a crowbar, and I don't have a crowbar.
My cousin's husband is somewhat handy and has many tools, so he's going to come by tomorrow morning and help me out.
I'd really hoped to get the liner in last night and fill the thing today, but guess it's not going to happen....
