Ok .. so today was moderately successful .. building the discharge area for the dam .. hoping to make a cascading waterfall effect ..
One of the big rocks for the waterfall
The bottom drain (discharge pipe)being covered by the rock for the waterfall
Bottom Stone placed .. placement was critical to the rest of the project .. and extremely hard to manage because of the size, weight, and distance to reach .. bottom rock weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of between 3 and 4 tons
about midway to the top
Top rock being placed
Each stone had to be placed .. then leveled side to side with the correct pitch front to rear .. All in all very happy with the results.
And lastly pond level after 1 week of filling .. and I have had no significant rain in well over a month
