That's a cool product. The music is a little overboard. I would also wonder what chemicals leach out in the drying process and what effect they could have on the watershed.

It is a two part reaction mixed in equal parts as it exits the spray head. Mixed in equal parts the reaction is complete and the product chemically inert.
The components individually are not classified as a hazardous chemical.

I have had 6 pipe pieces delivered. There was a 7th piece but it was damaged when being unloaded so I sent it back. I have the rest of my materials on site and I'm ready to build. Should I document the build on this thread or start a new one?

Just keep going. Myself and others are already watching.

Keep it going. We all love to see pics of others projects!

No reason for a new thread when there is already so much background information on this one.

Looks like the storm predictions have eased for this weekend. I'm driving up tonight and hopefully conditions will be right to get the pipes in the ground.

I got started today. First we had to transport 3 of the pipes from the rod to the pond. That was a good time. Used two straps to carry and another to keep it pointed forward while unfroze down the driveway with the excavator.

Here is the excavator sitting in the overflow stream bed before we began. I have the ditch excavated now. But the right side only goes down to about 7 feet. I hit bedrock and struggled with breaking it up for several hours. Tomorrow I am putting the pipes in the ground. I will follow up with more pictures.
