Spring feed waterfall and brook

[jdieter]

Where in Indiana are you if you don't mind me asking. I've got family in Ft.Wayne and Pierceton.

About 2 miles southeast of Delphi, which is a small town just off the new Hoosier Heartland Highway and about 25 miles northwest of Lafayette.

Started the demo on waterfall and attaching some pictures. It's slow going and haven't knocked enough off to find the original waterfall stone yet. The last picture is one of the chunks I knocked off to give everyone an idea of the calcified overgrowth I talked about previously. I'm using a 12lb electrical demo hammer. A larger demo hammer like a 35 lb'r would go quicker but not sure I could handle it sideways or above my shoulders and much greater chance of damaging the original waterfall structure.

Seriously to me it would be fun. I do projects like this all the time for my masonry business. This is a great project to see what is going on, get creative and have a beautiful end result. Not saying it is not hard work because it is but it is also a very satisfying in the end project. Keep up the great work

Updating this thread, finished with the bridge replacement and tore the waterfall back as far as I thought possible without committing to a full blown demo. Hadn't hidden the discharge pipe at the top of the picture yet and sorry about the bad camera work. Still searching for a way to add a liner without a complete demo and starting over.
