Keeping character, or restoring a pond

[DannyD]

In this photo of the greenhouse, how far up the wall will the water be at full? As for who still works with you on this, honest men will work for honest men. These men will be proud of the work they did, and their employer. I am sure the DVD will be shown many times over. It has been very exciting to see it come together, I am also sure it was exciting to actually get to do the work on it.

Had to look back and check out the greenhouse again, that work really sets it off nice.

Hey! That sorta looks like the stone I missed unloading at the barn raising over at Scott's. When we got home and were unloading the pickup, Kathy moved a piece of cardboard I had used to pad between the stones and there was one big stone hiding underneath. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif At the next shindig, I'll have that one.

I like your selection of the stone for the greenhouse wall. It looks like the TBN tractor is driving across the state of Oklahoma and headin' for Kansas. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

The client liked it too. He made a suggestion. And the guys agreed.

But they're not originals, client and guys.

Here's what's inside the greenhouse on the north wall.

It does look good though, gotta give them credit.

Next to the big deck is the spillway or waterfalls. We wanted a walkway over it.

Here's the challenge.

 

[wroughtn_harv]

We wanted to maintain the same materials and we didn't want to present a trap for debris.

So we decided to only have one column in the middle.

 

[wroughtn_harv]

The column rocks are pinned to the dam with three quarter inch rebar. Then we add cement.

The two slabs weigh about a thousand pounds each.

We'll also pin them into place when we're satisfied with their fit.
