Keeping character, or restoring a pond

It's in North Texas.

If you think me getting work done while taking photos is something, check this one out. I'm working will the photo was taken.

We had to form up the transition from the vertical wall to the horizontal floor. We also want some lights along the floor for the reason folks want lights in their ponds.

Here's what it looked like formed up.

Then it was a simple matter of mixing up three yards of concrete in the old mixer, a third of a yard at a time.

Then it was a simple matter of pouring the concrete into the form.

We wanted to have the river rock look so we placed boulders in the wet concrete.

A little extra work but worth the effect.

Yup, I sweat like a fat lady facing scales. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

It was a good day. Yesterday was cool and wet. And today was cool and we could work. So it was a good day and we all felt good about it at the end of the day.

Life is truly good.

Today was another good day in Parker, TX.

Yesterday Tom at Pearson Stone called to let me know the custom stone he'd ordered for me was absolutely gorgeous.

He wasn't wrong.
