[Rach]

Hi all, ypthought I would post photos of my new pond, very excited, a project I have been working on for a while and now it has a liner and water in it! Will be finishing edging it and building a stream/ waterfall over rest of week.

Ah ok can't post a photo from my iPad by looks of it

Welcome

You can load photos from the IPad. Click upload a file on the bottom right of the reply box. A pop up menu will appear and then click choose photos. From there you can choose to take a photo or use one from the library. Looking forward to seeing the photos

 

[Rach]

Thanks for that, clicking on choose file rather than words above!

Photos uploaded, will add as the pond develops

Welcome to GPC Rach.

I do most of my posting from iPad, but there is apparently a problem with iOS 8, and it won't let me post pics (not just on this forum). I am [im]patiently waiting for Apple to fix it......

 

[Big Lou]

I heard about all the bugs in the new iOS8. It is so disgusting when these companies release new software that is obviously not ready for use.

 

[Rach]

Silly me clicking

Rach it's gorgeous! I love it and you have done a wonderful job. Thanks so much for sharing.

Good job, your a fast worker. Cant wait to see the waterfall. I bet you enjoy watching the empty pond, I did.

 

[Rach]

That's very gracious of you, not finished at all and fourth attempt T stream and waterfall failed today, getting fed up now! But won't give up!

Thanks both, I do, I have a log on the edge that I can pop my coffee on in the morning. We had a wag tail in the garden this am, first one, he "wagged " round the perimeter and spent while on the Rock the wTer was cascading over. It was fab, just need to get my head round this stream!

Sometimes it just takes some tweaking. Anything we can help with? I mean besides the digging? Both Lisa and I like to ask a ton of questions. It helps us wrap our heads around difficult builds we have done so if you need help, ask away.

Looking great, nice job. Great looking dog. I love the springer breeds. I have 2 now, well one is a mix but mainly springer, someone was giving her up after a year so we took her. My favorite passed on but we had Katy for 15 years.

Well I don't know whether to start at the top of stream or bottom.
I just can't the slab that will over lap to hide the liner to,get water to go over it!
How do,you stop water from leaking out under and the sides?
For starters!
Do I dig low down first for the first slab? I was then going to fillin with gravel pebbles and rocks.
Any advice greatly received!

Thanks re Alfie, he is a 2 yr old Welsh Springer Spaniel. A sulking one at the moment, no walk for a week as a. It and infected pad.

Awe RobAmy my last dog was a Katie. We had her for 12 and had to put her down when we came to MS. She was Golden Retriever/Suluki mix.

Rach, I'm assuming you are digging a trench and putting a liner over the trench and then filling with rocks is that correct?
Never mind it looks like you are in your pictures. So I guess I am a little confused about the question. Are you having trouble with the size of the rocks maybe in your stream?
