Looking great Wiskey! The window is really something special!

It's amazing what you have done in a relatively small space!! Love it!

Very very nice, Whiskey! And, I remember seeing the top wood thing you added, but I sure don't remember seeing the sign or plaque up there with the red lettering. Did I miss it previously, or is it new? Looks like it has maybe Chinese lettering, what does it mean? Very neat!

Plant ti your eyes on this..[.plant chambers.].PLANTS......now in top pond and quarantine bay, somewhere for lillies to grow, wont put them in main pond koi will massacre them. Will put some water cress, in run off to main pond during summer months.

Was going to to keep them separate like filters but changed my mind, due to space.

Hi guys

Heres something that wont cut it.....a water blade :LOL:
Been awhile in the making of a water blade to replace the solid wall.....so i said to my self, why not get water working for me, rather than me working the water here and there.

so i came up with this...see photos......not finished yet as raising wall around water wheel as wash from wheel every where, like a naughty child causing splashing everthing,but i will tame the beast.

Oh, my, that water blade is awesome, Whiskey! I love it. You are so creative. I've seen those things much smaller for really high prices. Think of how many you have given the idea to so they can create their own. Anxious to see the waterwheel going soon!
