The waterfall


Here are the rocks all laid out. I still need to add the liner so numbering the rocks with chalk will help when I put them back.


The rockwork is complete!

New Fiberglass Matala Filter Box

Image
I installed a temporary filter last year, made out of a plastic truck box. It started to bow under the water pressure and had irregularly shaped sides. Time for a new one. It needed to be sturdy and have room for all four sheets of Matala filter material. I built the box with treated 5/8" plywood. It's about 6 feet long. The depression in the bottom is for the drain. 3 layers of fiberglass and resin with 2 gelcoat layers. Covered in fiberglass, sanded and fittings installed. I removed our temporary stairs and got all the plumbing done. First time that I finished a project without needing a second trip to Home Depot for fittings. Added the Matala fitlers (4 full sheets) and turned it on. No leaks!

Cedar Trim

The trim hangs about 1 1/2" over the water and about 1/2" above it. I installed it over the weekend. I cut 1/4" thick plastic washers to go under the 2x6 cedar trim. This will let the water from the pond run under the boards if the level gets to high and help prevent rot. Then, I counter-sunk 4" lag bolts through the boards and plugged them with hot glue and dowels. I'll sand and stain the boards and dowels soon. It's supposed to warm up in the next few days! Then on to the skimmer.
